Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Dolphins grade out a D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Dolphins shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. If Iheanachor pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Singleton.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 4th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 9th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They let Kenyon Sadiq come to them and pounced at pick 35. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A premium they did not need to pay, Olaivavega Ioane a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in slot 44 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ian Strong
Ian Strong in pick No. 67 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A clean, defensible pick in No. 76 with a little surplus value in A.J. Harris. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
No edge and no loss on Zakee Wheatley in the 82nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Julian Neal
They paid sticker price for Julian Neal in the 87th overall pick, and that is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick112 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson at Round 4, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at pick 152 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
They paid a round early for Lee Hunter in slot 198, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
No drama and no debate, DeAndre Moore Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 227. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
