Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: D-.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 90th overall pick on Drew Allar a full 45 spots early. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Scott. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Zion Young
They went early on Zion Young in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 65th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A reach for Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick 75; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in slot 87 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick90 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in No. 90 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at pick 111 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Raridon. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in Round 5, Pick 11 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick227 Rnd7 London Humphreys
A conviction pick on London Humphreys at the 227th pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
