The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Micah Morris at pick No. 257, a reach of 74 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
On value alone, Scott makes the weekend a net positive. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher went begging. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, with Anthony Hill Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 43 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter slid further than he should have, and the 63rd overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eli Stowers at Round 3, Pick 5. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in pick No. 75 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at pick 90 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
They robbed the room for Keionte Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Devin Moore in the Round 3 slot leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick111
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Fair-plus on Michael Trigg, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
They paid sticker price for Mike Washington Jr. in pick 114, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dametrious Crownover. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129
Rnd4
Isaiah World
Isaiah World at Round 4, Pick 29 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Drew Allar
A reach for Drew Allar in the 130th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
They took Domani Jackson at par in slot 151, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick156
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
A tidy bit of business in No. 156, where DeMonte Capehart graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
No drama and no debate, Ted Hurst went about where he belonged in the 170th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick No. 191 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
A reach on Zxavian Harris in No. 207; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
They went early on Jeff Caldwell in the 211th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick 220 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Zuhn III this early at Round 7, Pick 11. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
They did well to land Raylen Wilson in slot 230, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick239
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
They jumped the gun on Nolan Rucci, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
They paid up for Logan Taylor at the 253rd pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
They paid a round early for Tristan Leigh in Round 7, Pick 40, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257
Rnd7
Micah Morris
Micah Morris in pick 257 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
