Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a D- for the Dolphins.

Nobody else had Roman Hemby anywhere near the 202nd overall pick. The Dolphins did, by 152 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. With edge rusher and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Johnson.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In slot 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at the 35th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick37 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They liked Olaivavega Ioane enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 37. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in the 44th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sonny Styles in No. 45. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Julian Neal
A conviction pick on Julian Neal at slot 75 that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A surprising call. With edge rusher and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on A.J. Harris, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick93 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They paid sticker price for Omar Cooper Jr. in the 93rd pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Miller
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Blake Miller. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tao Johnson
Taking Tao Johnson in the 152nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Zuhn III well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby in No. 202 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
A wild overpay on Pat Coogan in pick No. 225, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
