FutureB-
The Dolphins bet the future on Ward. The board says B. The search is over. The Dolphins handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
That Mondon Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If Dellinger pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots.
The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In the 14th pick they get a franchise quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach No. 48 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slid further than he should have, and pick No. 98 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malachi Moore adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
They read the board right and Jared Wilson was the payoff at slot 116. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 135: Emery Jones Jr. for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the 151st overall pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 156th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in slot 226 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
The board had cheaper options than Cody Lindenberg at pick 233, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at No. 234 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252
Rnd7
Cooper Mays
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cooper Mays well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
