FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Golday: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Golday tumbling to the Dolphins in pick No. 87 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Tollison reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In pick No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Colton Hood
In slot 30 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 11 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in pick 87, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kamari Ramsey at the 90th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick94
Rnd3
Skyler Bell
A quiet steal in No. 94: Skyler Bell for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130
Rnd4
Joe Royer
A slide stopped in the 130th pick, with Joe Royer worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151
Rnd5
Tim Keenan III
Good price on Tim Keenan III in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154
Rnd5
Drew Allar
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drew Allar. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211
Rnd6
Chase Roberts
They did well to land Chase Roberts in Round 6, Pick 30, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Connor Tollison
A premium they did not need to pay, Connor Tollison a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Jatta at pick No. 238, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241
Rnd7
Owen Heinecke
Owen Heinecke at the 241st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
