FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Moore in the fold, and a C+ for the Dolphins. The Dolphins spent the pick that matters most on Dante Moore, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.
Landing Mateer that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Casey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Dante Moore
In slot 29 they get a passer to set the clock by at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chris Bell
No edge and no loss on Chris Bell in the 35th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62
Rnd2
John Mateer
The board fumbled John Mateer all the way to pick No. 62, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at Round 3, Pick 2 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128
Rnd4
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at No. 128 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146
Rnd5
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at pick 146 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
A reasonable price with a little left over, CJ Daniels in the 166th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196
Rnd6
Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223
Rnd7
Malachi Nelson
Malachi Nelson slipping to pick No. 223 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Kevin Jennings
They robbed the room for Kevin Jennings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
