Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
Mestemaker is the plan now, and the Dolphins grade out a B+.

The search is over. The Dolphins handed the keys to Drew Mestemaker, and the whole operation now runs on his development. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Saka has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pieper.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Drew Mestemaker
In No. 12 they get their quarterback of the future, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Will Echoles
Will Echoles at the 43rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Somehow Kade Pieper was still sitting there in the 75th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Anto Saka
They reached into another round for Anto Saka, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyrique Tucker
Tyrique Tucker in slot 111 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Walker Lyons
They paid a round early for Walker Lyons in pick No. 149, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Mark Nabou Jr.
Mark Nabou Jr. at Round 7, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
