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

It is a puzzling start. The Dolphins had interior defensive lineman to solve and reached instead for Keionte Scott, a cornerback, at the 77th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The cost of the Wright reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thieneman.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at No. 43 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They let Dillon Thieneman come to them and pounced at No. 47. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick60 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
Nice patience on D'Angelo Ponds, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 28. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Keionte Scott in pick 77 leaves interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick79 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in the 79th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A curious use of the 87th pick. Interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a cornerback in Devin Moore did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They took Jacob Rodriguez at par in slot 91, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Joe Royer
They did well to land Joe Royer in pick No. 107, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
No drama and no debate, Jaeden Roberts went about where he belonged in the 111th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Parker Brailsford. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A reach on Keagen Trost in pick No. 139; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A big swing on Aamil Wagner at the 149th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
They reached a country mile for Dae'Quan Wright at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They paid sticker price for Le'Veon Moss in pick 193, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Charles Jagusah
No edge and no loss on Charles Jagusah in slot 195; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They read the board right and Cole Payton was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 11. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
