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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for DeMonte Capehart, 34 picks ahead of schedule.

That Thieneman pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 10th pick they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at Round 2, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
A safety of that caliber at slot 75 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick79 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to take Keith Abney II, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
The board had cheaper options than Zachariah Branch at the 110th overall pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at No. 122, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
They took Iapani Laloulu at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 James Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Smith this early at pick 225. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
