Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Carson Beck, 37 picks early at pick No. 75.

Getting Lew where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 11th overall pick they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A quiet steal in the 43rd pick: Dillon Thieneman for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Carson Beck
They talked themselves into Carson Beck at No. 75, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Taking Connor Lew in Round 3, Pick 23 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at pick No. 90 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in slot 111 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick151 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves at slot 151 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
By-the-book stuff, Jaren Kanak at the 227th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Zxavian Harris reach the 238th pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
