FutureA+
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Micah Morris at No. 230, roughly 26 spots before his name belonged.
The Davis pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still on the board. They banked enough surplus on Fields to cover a lot of smaller sins.
A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick75
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Golday at Round 3, Pick 11 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Malachi Fields in pick 91, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Devin Moore in the 94th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Tacario Davis while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Fair-plus on Jack Endries, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in pick No. 126 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131
Rnd4
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick 131 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the 149th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick150
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 12, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick173
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
The board had cheaper options than Charles Jagusah at pick No. 177, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189
Rnd6
Dane Key
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dane Key. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
A tidy little value on Trey Zuhn III in No. 215, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in the 220th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at Round 7, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Roderick Kearney
They talked themselves into Roderick Kearney at pick 227, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228
Rnd7
Will Kacmarek
They reached a country mile for Will Kacmarek at No. 228, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Micah Morris
Micah Morris in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246
Rnd7
Colbie Young
They paid a round early for Colbie Young in the 246th pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247
Rnd7
Kamran James
Kamran James at the 247th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251
Rnd7
Ja'Keem Jackson
A reach on Ja'Keem Jackson in pick No. 251; the board had better options right there. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
