Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: John Mateer, 26 picks early at the 44th overall pick.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Strong.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
A straight-up fair deal on Spencer Fano at Round 1, Pick 10, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 John Mateer
John Mateer in the 44th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in pick No. 75 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ian Strong
Somehow Ian Strong was still sitting there in slot 86, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Joe Royer
They will replay Joe Royer at the 87th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick151 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Nothing to complain about; DeMonte Capehart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Malachi Nelson
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 10, where Malachi Nelson graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
