FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Dolphins. The Dolphins torched the value chart for Taylen Green, taking him 88 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Kite.
They will answer for taking cornerback early while linebacker went begging. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 43rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Devin Moore
The board had cheaper options than Devin Moore at Round 3, Pick 10, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
A wild overpay on Dametrious Crownover in pick 75, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Isaiah World
Isaiah World at the 87th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Drew Allar
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Allar in slot 90, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 8, with Nicholas Singleton worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker to take Tacario Davis, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick112
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at No. 112 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 126th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
A want over a need in the 128th pick: Domani Jackson adds a cornerback while linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick153
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
Value with a capital V on DeMonte Capehart in pick 153, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
A clean, defensible pick in slot 176 with a little surplus value in Marlin Klein. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Good price on Ted Hurst in pick No. 177, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
They paid sticker price for Zxavian Harris in slot 215, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
No drama and no debate, Jeff Caldwell went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 4. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Dane Key
They read the board right and Dane Key was the payoff at pick No. 227. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in No. 249 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick251
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. in pick 252 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
