The Dolphins won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Micah Morris at the 257th overall pick is 70 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They banked enough surplus on Louis to cover a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Zion Young and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Zion Young
Zion Young at No. 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Cooper Jr. at slot 63 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at pick No. 75 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Devin Moore in the 80th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick90
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
A conviction pick on Nicholas Singleton at pick 90 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in Round 3, Pick 31 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97
Rnd3
Justin Joly
They jumped the gun on Justin Joly, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
They took Mike Washington Jr. at par in the 111th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
No drama and no debate, Bryce Lance went about where he belonged in slot 120. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
They paid sticker price for Eli Raridon in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
No edge and no loss on Dametrious Crownover in the 131st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Good price on Drew Allar in pick No. 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at Round 5, Pick 20 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick168
Rnd5
Kyle Louis
They read the board right and Kyle Louis was the payoff at pick 168. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ted Hurst. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in Round 6, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jeff Caldwell in the 196th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
A tidy little value on Raylen Wilson in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234
Rnd7
Cole Payton
Cole Payton at No. 234 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 249 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
By-the-book stuff, Bryce Foster at the 252nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
A straight-up fair deal on Nolan Rucci at pick 256, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257
Rnd7
Micah Morris
They talked themselves into Micah Morris at the 257th pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
