Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Derrick Moore in the 105th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Sarratt falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Value with a capital V on Kenyon Sadiq in pick No. 36, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caleb Lomu in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Taking Elijah Sarratt in the 70th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in slot 76 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Rod Moore in No. 89 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick105 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
They reached a country mile for Derrick Moore at No. 105, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Romaine
The board had Austin Romaine higher than the Round 5 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson slipping to pick No. 220 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
