FutureB-
The Dolphins let Mafah fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Call it larceny. Phil Mafah sat on the board until No. 256, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.
They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher went begging. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at slot 39 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 9 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick48
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Good price on Tyleik Williams in pick No. 48, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in pick 76, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
No drama and no debate, Jalen Milroe went about where he belonged in No. 95. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
A clean, defensible pick in the 116th pick with a little surplus value in Hollin Pierce. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Edge rusher needed the pick; a safety in Lathan Ransom did not.
Pick135
Rnd4
Kalel Mullings
The board fumbled Kalel Mullings all the way to the 135th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
They did well to land Mitchell Evans in No. 149, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in the 172nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Cobee Bryant
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cobee Bryant in slot 223, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick224
Rnd7
Karene Reid
Taking Karene Reid in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 231 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick234
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 234: Theo Wease Jr. for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
A straight-up fair deal on Moliki Matavao at the 253rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
They barely believed it either: Phil Mafah still on the board at the 256th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
