Money1 DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

The Dolphins land in the muddy middle: C+. There is reaching, and then there is Caden Prieskorn at pick No. 155. The Dolphins jumped the board by 215 and dared it to prove them wrong. A mixed bag that lands at C+.
Landing Dike that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety, reach and all.
Pick48
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in No. 48 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98
Rnd3
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in Round 3, Pick 34 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 116th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135
Rnd4
Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in pick 135 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
Somehow Dillon Gabriel was still sitting there in slot 150, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155
Rnd5
Caden Prieskorn
They reached a country mile for Caden Prieskorn at pick 155, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
