FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Dolphins. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Malachi Lawrence in the 87th overall pick, a good 50 spots before the room expected him. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 20 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Max Klare
Max Klare in the 57th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
By-the-book stuff, Zakee Wheatley at No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87
Rnd3
Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence in Round 3, Pick 23 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the 89th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in pick No. 90 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Drew Allar
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Allar in Round 4, Pick 11, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
They went early on Davison Igbinosun in slot 129, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150
Rnd5
Treydan Stukes
They took Treydan Stukes at par in the 150th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick215
Rnd6
Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227
Rnd7
Will Kacmarek
A conviction pick on Will Kacmarek at pick No. 227 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
