The Asante reach set the tone, and the Dolphins never recovered: F. Nobody else had Eugene Asante anywhere near the 200th pick. The Dolphins did, by 231 spots, and that gap is the whole story. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In slot 2 they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick No. 13 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Quinn Ewers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Quinn Ewers in No. 33, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jordan Phillips
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Phillips well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 67 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94
Rnd3
Addison West
Addison West at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98
Rnd3
Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at No. 98 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Andrew Armstrong
A big swing on Andrew Armstrong at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116
Rnd4
Dante Trader Jr.
A wild overpay on Dante Trader Jr. in pick 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135
Rnd4
Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in Round 4, Pick 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
They reached into another round for Ollie Gordon II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155
Rnd5
Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jalin Conyers
They talked themselves into Jalin Conyers at the 179th pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at pick No. 192. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200
Rnd6
Eugene Asante
Eugene Asante at pick 200 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
No drama and no debate, Jordan Hancock went about where he belonged in slot 216. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224
Rnd7
Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga in Round 7, Pick 8 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick231
Rnd7
Seth Henigan
Value said wait; Seth Henigan in No. 231 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255
Rnd7
Brandon Adams
A reach for Brandon Adams in the 255th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick257
Rnd7
Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at pick No. 257 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
