Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Starks fall and pounced. Final grade: C+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Malaki Starks at the 48th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Zabel to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Hit on Grey Zabel and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at No. 13 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
