FutureB
The Dolphins let Gould fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Anthony Gould tumbling to the Dolphins in No. 212 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Rogers reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 30 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick84
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 84th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Austin Booker at pick 93. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A conviction pick on Mekhi Wingo at the 98th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115
Rnd4
James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 16 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
A tidy little value on Jarrian Jones in slot 153, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick154
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Thomas at No. 154, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at slot 161 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick170
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Justin Rogers in pick 183, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
You do not let a linebacker like Ty'Ron Hopper reach the 195th pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Nathan Thomas at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212
Rnd6
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in pick No. 212 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
They paid a round early for De'Corian Clark in the 256th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick257
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
