Fins1981 DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins

FutureB-
The Dolphins won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The Dolphins torched the value chart for Eric Gentry, taking him 114 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Golday. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 1 slot with a little surplus value in Sonny Styles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick30
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 30 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 43rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Max Iheanachor
By-the-book stuff, Max Iheanachor at Round 2, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at pick No. 84 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in No. 87 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95
Rnd3
Sam Roush
They paid sticker price for Sam Roush in the 95th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in slot 96, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97
Rnd3
Connor Lew
Value with a capital V on Connor Lew in pick No. 97, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jake Golday
Jake Golday at the 120th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130
Rnd4
Isaiah World
Isaiah World in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151
Rnd5
Travis Burke
Travis Burke in Round 5, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in No. 160 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick 163 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188
Rnd6
Domani Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Domani Jackson in pick 188. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 238th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
