Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Dolphins answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: B-.

The search is over. The Dolphins handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Kamara has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Allen value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 18th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Olaivavega Ioane well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
A conviction pick on Trevor Goosby at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70 Rnd3 CJ Allen
They barely believed it either: CJ Allen still on the board at slot 70. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at the 76th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
By-the-book stuff, D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 105 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at Round 5, Pick 4 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
A big swing on Pat Coogan at pick 220, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
