Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Dolphins chose the head-scratcher, spending No. 112 on D'Angelo Ponds with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still wide open.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Brown pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

That Downs pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 12th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick46 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at the 46th pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Eric Singleton Jr.
Eric Singleton Jr. at No. 77 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in pick No. 85 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick86 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 112th overall pick on D'Angelo Ponds with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick181 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at slot 181 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Barion Brown
A real head-scratcher, Barion Brown in pick 227 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
