Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Dolphins reached some 39 spots for Caden Curry, and value like that does not grow back.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Slaughter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 18th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman is a better player than slot 43 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A quiet steal in pick 49: Emmanuel Pregnon for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at the 75th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in Round 3, Pick 18 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at No. 87 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A curious use of pick 90. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Michael Taaffe did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on Treydan Stukes, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick116 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Davison Igbinosun, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at the 128th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Keagen Trost
They reached a country mile for Keagen Trost at pick No. 129, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at Round 5, Pick 11 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
They talked themselves into De'Zhaun Stribling at the 227th overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
