FutureA-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Cooper Jr.: B+. The real work happened on the phones. The Dolphins fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.
On value alone, Cooper Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
They are betting Brazzell II proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Malik Hooker deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In the 12th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at pick No. 43 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at slot 80 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Devin Moore
A tidy little value on Devin Moore in pick 90, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg is a better player than the 111th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115
Rnd4
Justin Joly
They did well to land Justin Joly in Round 4, Pick 15, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dametrious Crownover. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Fair-plus on Drew Allar, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
A reach on Zxavian Harris in pick No. 210; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Cole Payton
A reach for Cole Payton in slot 227; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Good price on Trey Zuhn III in pick 252, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
