FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-. The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Preston Stone, 131 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Slaughter. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In pick No. 24 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Nice patience on Caleb Banks, who had no business lasting to No. 52. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Anthony Hill Jr. reach the 58th overall pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They barely believed it either: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren still on the board at pick 75. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Steal is underselling it; Keionte Scott at slot 87 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg slid further than he should have, and the 120th pick is lovely value for the tight end. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
By-the-book stuff, Eli Raridon at Round 4, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
No drama and no debate, DeMonte Capehart went about where he belonged in pick No. 130. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Isaiah World
A slide stopped in the 147th overall pick, with Isaiah World worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in slot 160; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick168
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick201
Rnd6
VJ Payne
The board had VJ Payne higher than pick 201, and the safety fell to them anyway. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
They paid a round early for Jeff Caldwell in No. 209, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Raylen Wilson at pick No. 214, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nolan Rucci this early at Round 7, Pick 7. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor at slot 227 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
A big swing on Riley Mahlman at the 238th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in No. 248 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
A wild overpay on Tristan Leigh in pick 249, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
A reach for Robert Spears-Jennings in the 251st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick252
Rnd7
Preston Stone
A real head-scratcher, Preston Stone in Round 7, Pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254
Rnd7
Adam Randall
Adam Randall at pick No. 254 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marvin Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keaten Wade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
