FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B. The Dolphins did not so much draft Eric Gentry as overpay for him, 115 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They banked enough surplus on Slaughter to cover a lot of smaller sins.
It is not that Jackson is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In slot 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Emmanuel Pregnon
In pick No. 30 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick47
Rnd2
Max Iheanachor
No drama and no debate, Max Iheanachor went about where he belonged in No. 47. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick 75 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87
Rnd3
Devin Moore
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devin Moore. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 3 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92
Rnd3
Sam Roush
They took Sam Roush at par in the 92nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
A conviction pick on Nicholas Singleton at the 94th pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eli Raridon. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to take Domani Jackson, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jeff Caldwell in slot 151, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177
Rnd5
Logan Taylor
Value said wait; Logan Taylor in pick 177 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227
Rnd7
Hykeem Williams
They reached a country mile for Hykeem Williams at Round 7, Pick 11, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
