Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

Hard to follow the map here. The Dolphins bypassed quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take D'Angelo Ponds at slot 90, a spot they had covered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Ponds proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In pick 21 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in Round 2, Pick 11 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eli Stowers at pick No. 75. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott slid further than he should have, and the 76th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at No. 87 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the 90th pick on D'Angelo Ponds, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at slot 129 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
They paid sticker price for Chase Roberts in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
They took Keyron Crawford at par in pick 227, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
