The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Branch: B. The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Zachariah Branch fell into pick No. 87.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Wheatley pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, running back and other spots.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They took Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at par in Round 2, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick43
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 43rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Connor Lew
They let Connor Lew come to them and pounced at the 72nd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at No. 75 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 87 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
A want over a need in pick 90: Zakee Wheatley adds a safety while edge rusher, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick111
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in pick No. 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Nothing to complain about; Drew Allar went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197
Rnd6
Rayshaun Benny
No edge and no loss on Rayshaun Benny in slot 197; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Dane Key
Value with a capital V on Dane Key in pick 227, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in No. 248 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
