Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Dolphins finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-. The Dolphins spent the pick that matters most on LaNorris Sellers, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
They banked enough surplus on Green to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Orange to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
LaNorris Sellers
In pick No. 7 they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40
Rnd2
Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the 71st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at pick 77 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Fields. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
C.J. Fite
By-the-book stuff, C.J. Fite at Round 4, Pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147
Rnd5
CJ Baxter
CJ Baxter at the 147th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Taylen Green
You do not let a quarterback like Taylen Green reach No. 221 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
