Nobody dealt better than the Dolphins this weekend: A-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 41 is 98 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Getting Golday where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
With interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Malachi Lawrence
In pick No. 30 they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48
Rnd2
Max Iheanachor
They took Max Iheanachor at par in slot 48, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62
Rnd2
Chase Bisontis
Nice patience on Chase Bisontis, who had no business lasting to pick 62. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
A conviction pick on Ted Hurst at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at No. 87 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Connor Lew
Fair-plus on Connor Lew, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 95th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jake Golday
Jake Golday in pick 108 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 111 on Jalon Kilgore with interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick112
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
They paid sticker price for Michael Trigg in No. 112, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Isaiah World
They paid a round early for Isaiah World in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at slot 151 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156
Rnd5
Charles Demmings
A tidy little value on Charles Demmings in the 156th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick170
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at Round 5, Pick 30 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177
Rnd5
Travis Burke
Travis Burke at slot 177 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jaren Kanak
The board had cheaper options than Jaren Kanak at pick No. 227, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238
Rnd7
John Michael Gyllenborg
John Michael Gyllenborg in the 238th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
They did well to land Robert Spears-Jennings in the 246th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick247
Rnd7
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256
Rnd7
Adam Randall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Adam Randall this early at No. 256. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
A wild overpay on Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 41, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
