RBTHEGOAT DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins
Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedA
TradesB-
FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B, for the Dolphins. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Dolphins committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.
They will need Lance to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Miller pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In slot 5 they get a franchise quarterback, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Value with a capital V on Christen Miller in the 36th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70
Rnd3
Bryce Lance
Value said wait; Bryce Lance in Round 3, Pick 6 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Germie Bernard at pick No. 76 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
