Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with George Gumbs Jr. at pick 151, a reach of 40 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and running back.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 11th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
The board had Dillon Thieneman higher than slot 43, and the safety fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 75th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in No. 90 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
They did well to land Sam Hecht in pick No. 91, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A want over a need in the 94th overall pick: Devin Moore adds a cornerback while interior defensive lineman and running back keeps waiting.
Pick130 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in pick No. 130 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 George Gumbs Jr.
They reached a country mile for George Gumbs Jr. at Round 5, Pick 11, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Keyshaun Elliott for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer in the 238th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
