Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureC+
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Caden Curry. He came off 41 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 11 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick30 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In the 30th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Derrick Moore in the 43rd pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jacob Rodriguez in Round 3, Pick 11. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent slot 87 on Treydan Stukes, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in pick 90 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
Good price on Bryce Lance in the 94th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Beau Stephens. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaleb Elarms-Orr well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore in pick 154 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick170 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
They paid a round early for Keagen Trost in No. 170, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
