Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Garrett Nussmeier, and it showed at the 43rd pick: 35 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a building block for the line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Nussmeier in No. 43 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in the 75th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in the 87th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell at slot 90 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Sam Roush
You do not let a tight end like Sam Roush reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hezekiah Masses
Taking Hezekiah Masses in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick227 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
By-the-book stuff, Aiden Fisher at Round 7, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
