FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Alex Birchmeier a full 54 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On value alone, Hale makes the weekend a net positive. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In slot 15 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Sam Leavitt
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sam Leavitt at the 47th overall pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Keon Sabb
A clean, defensible pick in pick 84 with a little surplus value in Keon Sabb. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91
Rnd3
Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at Round 3, Pick 27 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115
Rnd4
Austin Romaine
Austin Romaine in pick No. 115 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154
Rnd5
Alex Birchmeier
Alex Birchmeier in the 154th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in slot 193 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228
Rnd7
Jalen Hale
Value with a capital V on Jalen Hale in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
