Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Prieskorn reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Moore.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In slot 22 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in the 54th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Domani Jackson. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick131 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A quiet steal in No. 131: Malachi Moore for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick150 Rnd5 Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn at pick 150 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd7 Caullin Lacy
They read the board right and Caullin Lacy was the payoff at the 212th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa at pick No. 214 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
