FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Dolphins this weekend: B+. Nobody had Eric Gentry this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 128 spots to get him at the Round 7 slot.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Slaughter. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
A big swing on Gabe Jacas at Round 2, Pick 11, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
A premium they did not need to pay, Derrick Moore a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in slot 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
Markel Bell
Markel Bell at pick 75 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87
Rnd3
Devin Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Devin Moore at No. 87, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90
Rnd3
Isaiah World
Isaiah World in pick No. 90 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in the 96th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton is a better player than pick 114 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
They let Michael Trigg come to them and pounced at slot 120. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at the 130th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
They went early on Domani Jackson in No. 154, and the value did not follow. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick155
Rnd5
Febechi Nwaiwu
They paid up for Febechi Nwaiwu at Round 5, Pick 15 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
A tidy bit of business in the 180th pick, where Marlin Klein graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195
Rnd6
VJ Payne
Nothing to complain about; VJ Payne went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
They reached into another round for Jeff Caldwell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jimmy Rolder
They paid sticker price for Jimmy Rolder in No. 211, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
They reached a country mile for Marvin Jones Jr. at Round 7, Pick 4, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gentry well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 229 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick232
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
By-the-book stuff, Charles Demmings at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick238
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
A conviction pick on Isaiah Jatta at the 238th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in slot 246 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
No drama and no debate, Nolan Rucci went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 35. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
They jumped the gun on Logan Taylor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256
Rnd7
Adam Randall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Adam Randall. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Riley Mahlman in pick 257, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
