The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: B-. The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Harold Perkins Jr., 55 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The Ponds pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In the 30th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Blake Miller
Blake Miller in pick No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick43
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dontay Corleone. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60
Rnd2
A.J. Haulcy
They read the board right and A.J. Haulcy was the payoff at pick 60. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in pick 75 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77
Rnd3
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 77 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jadarian Price
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jadarian Price in Round 3, Pick 23, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89
Rnd3
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 89th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94
Rnd3
Isaiah World
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaiah World this early at the 94th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130
Rnd4
Drew Allar
Value said wait; Drew Allar in pick No. 130 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
Steal is underselling it; Oscar Delp at slot 151 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Zane Durant
A straight-up fair deal on Zane Durant at pick No. 171, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
A tidy bit of business in No. 227, where Zavion Thomas graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Barion Brown
A reach for Barion Brown in the 238th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
