Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 16, a reach of 22 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They talked themselves into Tate Ratledge at slot 48, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 98th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
