Overall B-

ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-

A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Monroe Freeling, 34 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Banks pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese

In pick 11 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.

Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Banks

The board had Caleb Banks higher than Round 2, Pick 11, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick75 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling

Monroe Freeling at the 75th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Pick87 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis

A real head-scratcher, Chase Bisontis in No. 87 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.

Pick90 Rnd3 Jude Bowry

Jude Bowry at pick No. 90 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick111 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds

A reasonable price with a little left over, D'Angelo Ponds in the Round 4 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
