FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took CJ West at pick 135, roughly 52 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The Stutsman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In No. 22 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 17. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter is a better player than pick 86 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Fair-plus on Charles Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 119th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135
Rnd4
CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in the 135th overall pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at pick 150 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick153
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
Taking Brashard Smith in No. 153 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Value said wait; Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 17 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
The board had Pat Bryant higher than slot 158, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224
Rnd7
Ricky White III
Ricky White III in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
They took Cam Jackson at par in pick No. 231, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A wild overpay on Garrett Dellinger in the 253rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
