More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Trey Zuhn III, 35 picks ahead of schedule. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With edge rusher, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.
Getting Scott where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 11 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In the 30th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at Round 2, Pick 11 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Keionte Scott at cornerback with edge rusher, tight end and other spots open.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jalen Farmer
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Farmer in the 87th pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at No. 90 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Gracen Halton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gracen Halton this early at the 94th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jakobe Thomas
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Jakobe Thomas in No. 130 leaves edge rusher, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick151
Rnd5
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick No. 151 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
Fair-plus on Zavion Thomas, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Miller Moss
A premium they did not need to pay, Miller Moss a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
