Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Drew Mestemaker at pick No. 35 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The White pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jeremiah Smith
In the 3rd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Drew Mestemaker
Drew Mestemaker at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
A conviction pick on Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the 104th pick that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Trey White
They talked themselves into Trey White at pick No. 140, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Wendell Gregory
Wendell Gregory in the 161st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
