FutureC
A weekend the Dolphins spent fighting the board, and losing. F. The Dolphins bet big and early on Bauer Sharp, 317 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Landing Barrett that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 1 they get a security blanket over the middle, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Eli Stowers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eli Stowers in pick 2, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Royer
They talked themselves into Joe Royer at the 5th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick9
Rnd1
Max Klare
In No. 9 they get a red-zone target to build around, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick10
Rnd1
Sam Roush
A real head-scratcher, Sam Roush in the 10th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick11
Rnd1
Michael Trigg
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick12
Rnd1
Justin Joly
In slot 12 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick16
Rnd1
Eli Raridon
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a seam-stretching tight end, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick20
Rnd1
Oscar Delp
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Bauer Sharp
In No. 29 they get a security blanket over the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Will Kacmarek
In pick No. 30 they get a red-zone target to build around, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jack Endries
Value said wait; Jack Endries in the 33rd pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick36
Rnd2
Carsen Ryan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carsen Ryan this early at the 36th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37
Rnd2
Marlin Klein
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marlin Klein. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40
Rnd2
Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher in Round 2, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in No. 43 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Josh Cuevas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Josh Cuevas well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67
Rnd3
Matthew Hibner
A wild overpay on Matthew Hibner in pick No. 67, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74
Rnd3
Dallen Bentley
They reached a country mile for Dallen Bentley at the 74th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
John Michael Gyllenborg
John Michael Gyllenborg at the 75th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87
Rnd3
Dae'Quan Wright
They reached into another round for Dae'Quan Wright, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90
Rnd3
Lake McRee
Lake McRee at pick 90 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at No. 92 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
RJ Maryland
RJ Maryland at the 94th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd4
Riley Nowakowski
A big swing on Riley Nowakowski at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in Round 4, Pick 3 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Brett Norfleet
A wild overpay on Brett Norfleet in pick 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jack Velling
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Velling. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117
Rnd4
Deion Burks
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Deion Burks in slot 117, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130
Rnd4
Shamar Easter
A big swing on Shamar Easter at the 130th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134
Rnd4
Luke Hasz
Luke Hasz at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd4
Jaleel Skinner
They talked themselves into Jaleel Skinner at slot 140, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151
Rnd5
Khalil Dinkins
Khalil Dinkins at Round 5, Pick 11 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186
Rnd6
DJ Rogers
They reached a country mile for DJ Rogers at the 186th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
Max Bredeson
A real head-scratcher, Max Bredeson in the 192nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ty Thompson
They reached into another round for Ty Thompson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227
Rnd7
Sav'ell Smalls
Sav'ell Smalls in pick 227 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nick Barrett
Nick Barrett in pick No. 238 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
