Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: B-.

The Dolphins bet big and early on Vincent Anthony Jr., 43 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Golday value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in Round 2, Pick 11 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick47 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at pick 47 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in the 75th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in pick No. 78 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They will replay Jake Golday at the 87th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 90. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Drew Allar
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Allar in the 111th pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They reached into another round for Vincent Anthony Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in the 227th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
