Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureB+
Larceny in the 60th pick lands the Dolphins a B+, Thieneman and all.

When a board-topper like Dillon Thieneman slides to the Round 2 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Reaching for Rutledge left real value on the table behind him.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 26 they get a green-dot type in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
They took Monroe Freeling at par in the 43rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse slid further than he should have, and the 46th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They robbed the room for Dillon Thieneman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 87 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Joe Royer
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 10, with Joe Royer worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
The board had cheaper options than Keylan Rutledge at pick 111, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Nothing to complain about; Drew Allar went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Good price on Matt Gulbin in the 187th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
They let Ephesians Prysock come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Fair-plus on Jeff Caldwell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
