Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B-

FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Thomas from sliding. Grade: B-. You could see the war room lean forward. R Mason Thomas at No. 43 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The back end got a real overhaul.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the 11th pick they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43
Rnd2
R Mason Thomas
R Mason Thomas at the 43rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
