Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 2, Pick 23 lands the Dolphins a B-, Mitchell and all.

When a board-topper like Adonai Mitchell slides to slot 55, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Henderson left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 21 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick 55 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at Round 5, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
The board fumbled Tykee Smith all the way to slot 184, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick198 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at pick No. 198 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
