Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Golday fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jake Golday at No. 90 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every board in the league had Nussmeier lower, and that gap is the story. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In slot 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Nussmeier in pick 43, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Fair-plus on Michael Taaffe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis slipping to the 87th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Steal is underselling it; Jake Golday at pick No. 90 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenen Thompson
They barely believed it either: Brenen Thompson still on the board at the 111th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
The board had DeMonte Capehart higher than No. 151, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Thaddeus Dixon worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick238 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Miles Kitselman at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
