Grand theft in slot 75: the Dolphins steal McNeil-Warren and grade out a A-. Whoever sat across the table from the Dolphins should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback and running back went begging. Landing McNeil-Warren that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Harris reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in pick No. 43 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at No. 52 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board fumbled Emmanuel McNeil-Warren all the way to the 75th pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84
Rnd3
Devin Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Devin Moore at pick 84, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick94
Rnd3
Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht slipping to the 94th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 31: Zakee Wheatley adds a safety while quarterback and running back keeps waiting.
Pick111
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Nice patience on Michael Trigg, who had no business lasting to No. 111. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Bud Clark adds a safety and leaves quarterback and running back untouched.
Pick126
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in slot 126 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick No. 158 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick168
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
No edge and no loss on Marlin Klein in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 6, with Ted Hurst worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in the 196th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jeff Caldwell. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in Round 7, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Value said wait; Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 227 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
