No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins bet big and early on Caden Curry, 40 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. Landing Sarratt that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Mansoor Delane · CB · rank 8
A tidy little value on Mansoor Delane in pick 11, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Denzel Boston · WR · rank 30
In No. 30 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Derrick Moore · DE-EDGE · rank 62
A real head-scratcher, Derrick Moore in Round 2, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 75 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
They read the board right and Elijah Sarratt was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Caden Curry · DE-EDGE · rank 130
Caden Curry at the 90th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Devin Moore · CB · rank 92
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Devin Moore in the 94th pick leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Bishop Fitzgerald · S · rank 123
They did well to land Bishop Fitzgerald in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 158
Beau Stephens in pick No. 151 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Jalen Huskey · S · rank 240
They liked Jalen Huskey enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 11. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Andre Fuller · CB · rank 232
Fair-plus on Andre Fuller, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
