Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: B-.

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Roman Hemby, 124 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Shelton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick 4 they get the arm they will build around, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
A reach on Elijah Sarratt in the 35th pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
A big swing on Mikail Kamara at pick No. 66, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They reached a country mile for D'Angelo Ponds at No. 75, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Drew Shelton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Drew Shelton at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Miller. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
Value said wait; DJ Campbell in Round 5, Pick 5 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roman Hemby in pick 220, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
