Grand theft in No. 252: the Dolphins steal Sanders and grade out a B. You build a draft on nights like this. T.J. Sanders had no business being available in the 252nd pick, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick No. 13 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick 49 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at the 98th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cam Ward
Cam Ward in the 114th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at No. 133 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149
Rnd5
Dylan Fairchild
Circle this one: Dylan Fairchild at slot 149 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152
Rnd5
Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at pick No. 224 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in the 231st overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252
Rnd7
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the 252nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
