FutureB-
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: B. The Dolphins did not so much draft Will Kacmarek as overpay for him, 229 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Dolphins indulged a want in Moore while a need in quarterback stayed open. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The Rodriguez pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chris Johnson
In No. 30 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Bell
Chris Bell at pick No. 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
A linebacker of that caliber at the 75th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85
Rnd3
Kyle Louis
No drama and no debate, Kyle Louis went about where he belonged in the 85th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Caleb Douglas
They talked themselves into Caleb Douglas at No. 87, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
Will Kacmarek
They left a pile of value on the table to take Will Kacmarek this early at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Kevin Coleman Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kevin Coleman Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99
Rnd3
Mason Reiger
Mason Reiger at the 99th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121
Rnd4
Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the 121st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Max Llewellyn
Max Llewellyn at pick No. 130 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Louis Moore
A want over a need in pick 135: Louis Moore adds a safety while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick151
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in slot 151 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
Value with a capital V on CJ Daniels in the 161st pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216
Rnd6
Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Donaven McCulley
Donaven McCulley at pick 224 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Nick Barrett
Somehow Nick Barrett was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230
Rnd7
Wesley Williams
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Wesley Williams in slot 230, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237
Rnd7
David Gusta
They barely believed it either: David Gusta still on the board at No. 237. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nyjalik Kelly
Nyjalik Kelly at the 238th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
