The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Nadame Tucker, 80 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Montgomery value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Mansoor Delane · CB · rank 8
In the 11th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Omar Cooper Jr. · WR · rank 34
In pick No. 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
They let Dillon Thieneman come to them and pounced at No. 43. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
Elijah Sarratt at the 75th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Treydan Stukes in Round 3, Pick 23 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Caden Curry · DE-EDGE · rank 131
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Nadame Tucker · DE-EDGE · rank 174
Nadame Tucker at the 94th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Bishop Fitzgerald · S · rank 123
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Bishop Fitzgerald while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 159
A reach on Beau Stephens in slot 151; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Tyren Montgomery · WR · rank 215
Tyren Montgomery at the 227th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Travis Burke · OT · rank 306
Travis Burke at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
