FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Micah Morris in the 238th overall pick, a good 88 spots before the room expected him.
Slaughter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate in pick 12 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ted Hurst
Value said wait; Ted Hurst in slot 43 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at pick No. 75 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
A wild overpay on Michael Trigg in No. 90, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Sam Roush
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sam Roush. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94
Rnd3
Oscar Delp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oscar Delp in the 94th pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 32 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jalen Farmer
A tidy little value on Jalen Farmer in pick No. 115, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
They reached into another round for Dametrious Crownover, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd4
Travis Burke
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Travis Burke well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151
Rnd5
Drew Allar
They paid sticker price for Drew Allar in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188
Rnd6
Matt Gulbin
They did well to land Matt Gulbin in No. 188, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
They robbed the room for Jeff Caldwell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in the 227th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Enrique Cruz Jr.
Enrique Cruz Jr. at pick No. 232 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238
Rnd7
Micah Morris
Micah Morris in slot 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
