Trevguest DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins

Draft Grade — Dolphins

Larceny in the 111th overall pick lands the Dolphins a B-, Golday and all. You build a draft on nights like this. Jake Golday had no business being available in No. 111, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Goosby reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick 11 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43
Rnd2
Trevor Goosby
They paid up for Trevor Goosby at slot 43 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75
Rnd3
John Mateer
No drama and no debate, John Mateer went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 11. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
They let Domonique Orange come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91
Rnd3
Joe Royer
Joe Royer at the 91st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jake Golday
Jake Golday in No. 111 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149
Rnd5
Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at pick No. 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227
Rnd7
Sawyer Robertson
You do not let a quarterback like Sawyer Robertson reach the 227th pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
