FutureA
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Korey Foreman a full 139 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Haulcy steal is the beam this whole class leans on. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In No. 11 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
By-the-book stuff, Caleb Banks at pick 44 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 59th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61
Rnd2
Jake Golday
Jake Golday at slot 61 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
Value with a capital V on Kamari Ramsey in Round 3, Pick 11, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
Circle this one: A.J. Haulcy at pick No. 87 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick90
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Devin Moore at pick No. 90 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
They robbed the room for Ja'Kobi Lane here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106
Rnd4
Justin Joly
Justin Joly at Round 4, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in slot 111 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129
Rnd4
Brenen Thompson
A real head-scratcher, Brenen Thompson in pick 129 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Marlin Klein
They reached a country mile for Marlin Klein at the 130th pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139
Rnd5
Drew Allar
No edge and no loss on Drew Allar in No. 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141
Rnd5
Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in pick 141, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Isaiah World
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah World at the 149th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart slid further than he should have, and slot 150 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
They paid sticker price for Domani Jackson in pick No. 151, and that is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick153
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They took Davison Igbinosun at par in Round 5, Pick 15, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick163
Rnd5
J'Mari Taylor
The board had J'Mari Taylor higher than the Round 5 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aaron Graves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
No drama and no debate, DJ Campbell went about where he belonged in No. 176. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187
Rnd6
Dae'Quan Wright
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dae'Quan Wright in slot 187. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock slipping to Round 6, Pick 14 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick194
Rnd6
VJ Payne
A straight-up fair deal on VJ Payne at the 194th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick195
Rnd6
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
Good price on Pat Coogan in the 197th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205
Rnd6
Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott in pick 205 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
No drama and no debate, Zxavian Harris went about where he belonged in pick No. 215. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in No. 217 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at slot 226 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Value said wait; Trey Zuhn III in No. 227 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Raylen Wilson at pick No. 229 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
A reach on Bryce Foster in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
A conviction pick on Nolan Rucci at the 239th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marvin Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241
Rnd7
Kamran James
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kamran James in pick 241, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243
Rnd7
Korey Foreman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Korey Foreman this early at the 243rd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248
Rnd7
Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper at No. 248 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
