Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nussmeier is the plan now, and the Dolphins grade out a B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Dolphins spent their marquee pick on Garrett Nussmeier, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will need Harris to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The McNeil-Warren steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
In the 11th pick they get their quarterback of the future, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Romello Height
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Romello Height in the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Austin Barber
They paid sticker price for Austin Barber in slot 75, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in No. 87 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Fair-plus on Chandler Rivers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 11: Caden Curry for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Connor Tollison. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Michael Harris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Harris this early at pick 227. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
