McNeil-Warren should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B. Thirty-one other rooms let Emmanuel McNeil-Warren slide, and the Dolphins were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery.
The Davis pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and linebacker. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Bell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 43 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They barely believed it either: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren still on the board at Round 3, Pick 8. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Devin Moore in pick 75 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick83
Rnd3
Markel Bell
A reach for Markel Bell in No. 83; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Sam Hecht
Nice patience on Sam Hecht, who had no business lasting to the 94th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96
Rnd3
Tacario Davis
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and linebacker to take Tacario Davis, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
A reach on Mike Washington Jr. in slot 97; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
They went early on Dametrious Crownover in the 120th pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
Fair-plus on Eli Raridon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in pick No. 149 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Good price on Domani Jackson in Round 5, Pick 19, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick158
Rnd5
Drew Allar
The board had Drew Allar higher than the 158th overall pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
They let Ted Hurst come to them and pounced at pick 187. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
No edge and no loss on Zxavian Harris in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the 227th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
