Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Kalil Alexander at pick No. 227. The Dolphins jumped the board by 68 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Getting Miller where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 18th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick19 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 19 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at slot 43 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at No. 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They let Malachi Fields come to them and pounced at pick 87. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at the 90th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at pick 130 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Malik Benson in No. 151 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander in pick No. 227 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
They paid up for Diego Pavia at the 238th pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
