FutureA-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B. The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Kamran James, 94 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Scott falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick No. 11 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick72
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in slot 72 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
The board fumbled Keionte Scott all the way to No. 84, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
No edge and no loss on Nicholas Singleton in the 94th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95
Rnd3
Markel Bell
Markel Bell in Round 3, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in pick 120 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in No. 149 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195
Rnd6
Taylen Green
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Taylen Green graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
The board had Ephesians Prysock higher than slot 197, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
They did well to land Jeff Caldwell in pick No. 227, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
A reach on Bryce Foster in the 246th pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Marvin Jones Jr. in the 254th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255
Rnd7
Kamran James
A big swing on Kamran James at Round 7, Pick 39, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
