Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Golday: B-.

Somebody in Round 4, Pick 11 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Jake Golday, the No. 58 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Every board in the league had Clark lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In No. 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Bell
No drama and no debate, Chris Bell went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 11. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick 75 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 87, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sam Hecht in the 90th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Hezekiah Masses
You do not let a cornerback like Hezekiah Masses reach the 151st overall pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
They paid sticker price for Jalon Daniels in slot 227, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
