Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Leavitt should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in the 108th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Sam Leavitt, the No. 83 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Ioane reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 7th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at Round 2, Pick 8 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
They paid a round early for Keith Abney II in No. 77, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick93 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at the 93rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sam Leavitt
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 108 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kage Casey. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Cam Calhoun
Cam Calhoun slid further than he should have, and slot 221 is lovely value for the cornerback. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick230 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They paid up for Nolan Rucci at pick 230 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
