Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jack Pyburn; the Dolphins did not wait, grabbing him 58 spots ahead at the 227th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Delp at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 43 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Fields at the 75th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nicholas Singleton. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
A wild overpay on Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 90, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad at the 94th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick No. 130 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jack Pyburn
Jack Pyburn in slot 227 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
A reach on Nick Barrett in pick 238; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
