Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Dolphins found their guy under center in Mendoza: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Dolphins, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 11 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick18 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick No. 18 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Christen Miller
They read the board right and Christen Miller was the payoff at slot 33. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43 Rnd2 Colton Hood
A slide stopped in the 43rd overall pick, with Colton Hood worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick44 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at pick 44 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They did well to land Eli Stowers in the 75th pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at Round 3, Pick 23 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Carter Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carter Smith in Round 3, Pick 27. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Deion Burks
No edge and no loss on Deion Burks in the 111th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
A clean, defensible pick in the 149th pick with a little surplus value in Jyaire Hill. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick227 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
A straight-up fair deal on Quinten Joyner at slot 227, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
