FutureA
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B to prove it. The Dolphins torched the value chart for Mason Reiger, taking him 68 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Hurst falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Nice patience on Christen Miller, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Eli Stowers
Nothing to complain about; Eli Stowers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
They did well to land Chase Bisontis in No. 75, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Devin Moore is a better player than pick 91 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92
Rnd3
Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in the 92nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Tyreak Sapp
Value said wait; Tyreak Sapp in pick No. 94 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96
Rnd3
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the 96th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Malachi Lawrence
A real head-scratcher, Malachi Lawrence in Round 4, Pick 9 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
They took Mike Washington Jr. at par in the 111th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in pick No. 119 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
Fair-plus on Harold Perkins Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130
Rnd4
Mason Reiger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason Reiger well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Isaiah World
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah World at No. 133, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick166
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 166th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in slot 198 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cole Payton
Cole Payton at pick 211 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
A clean, defensible pick in No. 227 with a little surplus value in Jeff Caldwell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228
Rnd7
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
