Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Dolphins to a D-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Mikail Kamara in pick 68. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Downs.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caleb Downs at the Round 1 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick27 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carnell Tate in No. 27. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Arch Manning
Arch Manning at the 37th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
They reached into another round for Mikail Kamara, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drew Shelton this early at pick No. 75. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A premium they did not need to pay, D'Angelo Ponds a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
They went early on Monroe Freeling in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They paid sticker price for Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 136th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davison Igbinosun in No. 144, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in pick No. 218 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
