FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Noah Thomas at slot 245, a reach of 112 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Landing Golday that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Dolphins paired the rookies with proven help, Taylor Moton leading the way.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick75
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at slot 75 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 87th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Devin Moore
No edge and no loss on Devin Moore in No. 90; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92
Rnd3
Mason Reiger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason Reiger well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jake Golday
Jake Golday at pick No. 116 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
A slide stopped in pick No. 126, with Michael Trigg worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Drew Allar
A real head-scratcher, Drew Allar in the 130th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Taylen Green
They reached a country mile for Taylen Green at Round 5, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
They paid a round early for Domani Jackson in slot 165, more than the board wanted. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
By-the-book stuff, Jeff Caldwell at pick 182 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at No. 189 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209
Rnd6
Owen Heinecke
Value said wait; Owen Heinecke in the 209th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jimmy Rolder
No drama and no debate, Jimmy Rolder went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Jatta in No. 215, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryce Foster this early at the Round 7 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at pick No. 227 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
They reached into another round for Logan Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Adam Randall
Adam Randall at the 238th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun at the 239th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Riley Mahlman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241
Rnd7
Enrique Cruz Jr.
A wild overpay on Enrique Cruz Jr. in Round 7, Pick 25, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245
Rnd7
Noah Thomas
A big swing on Noah Thomas at No. 245, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246
Rnd7
Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams in the 246th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256
Rnd7
Micah Morris
They talked themselves into Micah Morris at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in slot 257 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
