Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Orange: C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Domonique Orange, No. 126, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Every board in the league had Reiger lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

So much rides on Mansoor Delane that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 26 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 30 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 43 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
They did well to land Caleb Tiernan in Round 2, Pick 29, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Nothing to complain about; Chase Bisontis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 87th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
The board fumbled Keionte Scott all the way to the 90th pick, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
Mason Reiger at the 120th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Domonique Orange in Round 4, Pick 26, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Joe Royer at pick No. 128 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Max Llewellyn well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in No. 151 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kevin Coleman Jr. in the 160th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Boettcher. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton slipping to pick 201 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Nice patience on Noah Whittington, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
