FutureA
The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. Micah Morris went at the 251st pick, a good 76 picks before the board was ready.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Cooper Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
A slide stopped in pick No. 47, with Anthony Hill Jr. worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Circle this one: Omar Cooper Jr. at Round 3, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Devin Moore
They did well to land Devin Moore in the 87th pick, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
A reach for Nicholas Singleton in the 90th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at No. 94 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
No drama and no debate, Michael Trigg went about where he belonged in pick No. 99. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Harold Perkins Jr. in the 111th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118
Rnd4
Justin Joly
Justin Joly in pick 118 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149
Rnd5
Isaiah World
Nice patience on Isaiah World, who had no business lasting to slot 149. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at No. 150 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the 166th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick177
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
No edge and no loss on Ted Hurst in Round 5, Pick 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Taylen Green in the 186th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at slot 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197
Rnd6
Eli Heidenreich
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eli Heidenreich. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Zxavian Harris at pick No. 213, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jeremiah Wright
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Wright at pick 214 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
They paid sticker price for Raylen Wilson in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221
Rnd7
Aiden Fisher
They went early on Aiden Fisher in No. 221, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings at Round 7, Pick 6 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey at pick No. 225 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in slot 226 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
A wild overpay on Bryce Foster in No. 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
A big swing on Riley Mahlman at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251
Rnd7
Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the 251st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
