Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B. The Dolphins spent real capital to be 43 picks early on Taylen Green, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Slaughter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick 22 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Dillon Thieneman
In the 30th overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
They did well to land Chris Johnson in the 39th pick, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick62
Rnd2
Christen Miller
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 62 with a little surplus value in Christen Miller. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
They read the board right and Germie Bernard was the payoff at No. 75. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Keylan Rutledge worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at No. 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91
Rnd3
Max Klare
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 27, where Max Klare graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
Fair-plus on Ted Hurst, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
A curious use of the 130th pick. Edge rusher and running back needed the pick; a cornerback in Tacario Davis did not.
Pick151
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 151 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170
Rnd5
VJ Payne
Value said wait; VJ Payne in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick182
Rnd6
Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in slot 182 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jadon Canady
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jadon Canady in the 227th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jack Kelly
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Kelly. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
