Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins did enough to get by: C+.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Gracen Halton at No. 75 regardless, 64 picks early.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Nussmeier at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dillon Thieneman well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick43 Rnd2 Zion Young
A straight-up fair deal on Zion Young at slot 43, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Gracen Halton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gracen Halton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
Nice patience on Garrett Nussmeier, who had no business lasting to No. 87. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Markel Bell
They liked Markel Bell enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
