FutureA-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Thieneman: C+. Call it larceny. Dillon Thieneman sat on the board until No. 75, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenyon Sadiq in the 34th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43
Rnd2
KC Concepcion
Value with a capital V on KC Concepcion in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at Round 3, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick94
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Somehow Keionte Scott was still sitting there in No. 94, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97
Rnd3
Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at slot 97 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette slid further than he should have, and the 102nd overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick104
Rnd4
Caden Curry
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caden Curry in pick 104. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
Good price on Zachariah Branch in pick No. 111, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Demond Claiborne
A straight-up fair deal on Demond Claiborne at slot 120, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kyle Louis
No drama and no debate, Kyle Louis went about where he belonged in the 141st overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 5, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174
Rnd5
Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton in No. 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181
Rnd6
Thaddeus Dixon
They took Thaddeus Dixon at par in pick No. 181, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick199
Rnd6
Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas in the 199th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212
Rnd6
Barion Brown
A clean, defensible pick in pick 212 with a little surplus value in Barion Brown. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
