FutureA-
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Slaughter: B-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Slaughter tumbling to the Dolphins in the 90th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
They barely believed it either: Kenyon Sadiq still on the board at the 40th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Taking Caleb Banks in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Dillon Thieneman in slot 61, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74
Rnd3
Christen Miller
Christen Miller in No. 74 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jonah Coleman
Circle this one: Jonah Coleman at pick 75 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at Round 3, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 90th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Josiah Trotter
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 94 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in the 95th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Nice patience on Jack Endries, who had no business lasting to slot 111. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trinidad Chambliss at pick No. 130. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
They let Max Iheanachor come to them and pounced at the 149th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156
Rnd5
David Oke
David Oke at No. 156 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198
Rnd6
DJ Harvey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ Harvey in Round 6, Pick 19. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
