Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Miller: A-. Somebody in Round 3, Pick 5 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Christen Miller, the No. 36 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Dolphins indulged a want in Muhammad while a need in edge rusher and running back stayed open.
The Tyler Guyton deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in slot 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43
Rnd2
Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse at pick No. 43 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69
Rnd3
Christen Miller
Taking Christen Miller in the 69th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane in Round 3, Pick 11 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at No. 87 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
A surprising call. With edge rusher and running back still to address, they spent pick 90 on Malik Muhammad, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
A tidy bit of business in the 105th overall pick, where Jacob Rodriguez graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Monroe Freeling
Nothing to complain about; Monroe Freeling went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Skyler Gill-Howard
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Skyler Gill-Howard in the 143rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick No. 149 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Drew Allar
A slide stopped in pick 150, with Drew Allar worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
The board fumbled Jermaine Mathews Jr. all the way to Round 6, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick194
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
