Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Riley Nowakowski, 46 picks early at the Round 7 slot.

Scott falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 11 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value.
Pick43 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Steal is underselling it; Blake Miller at slot 75 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They will replay Keionte Scott at the 87th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt slipping to pick 90 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Julian Neal
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and running back to take Julian Neal, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
They paid sticker price for Jalen Farmer in No. 151, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Riley Nowakowski well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They took Cole Payton at par in pick No. 238, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
