The Dolphins robbed the room for Mondon Jr.. Final grade: B-. The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Smael Mondon Jr. fell into pick No. 224. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The Uiagalelei pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Cameron Williams
In the 13th pick they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 17 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Somehow Jalen Royals was still sitting there in pick 98, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Howard Cross III this early at the 114th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in slot 117 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 133, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
DJ Uiagalelei
Value said wait; DJ Uiagalelei in No. 149 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 154, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224
Rnd7
Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
They will replay Seth McLaughlin at No. 231 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Joey Slackman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joey Slackman well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
