Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

Nobody had Riley Nowakowski this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 85 spots to get him at the 188th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Landing Scott that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Dolphins indulged a want in Igbinosun while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Blake Miller
In the 30th pick they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 43rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Sarratt at pick No. 75, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They robbed the room for Keionte Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A real head-scratcher, Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zakee Wheatley in Round 3, Pick 32. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Davison Igbinosun adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Louis Moore
No drama and no debate, Louis Moore went about where he belonged in No. 151. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick188 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
They talked themselves into Riley Nowakowski at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Fa'alili Fa'amoe. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper at the 238th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
