FutureB+
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Fadil Diggs in pick 167. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. However the rest shakes out, Starks at that price is a win they earned.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 49 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick102
Rnd3
Joshua Farmer
They paid a round early for Joshua Farmer in No. 102, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
A reach for Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 103; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116
Rnd4
Tai Felton
The board had Tai Felton higher than slot 116, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 4, Pick 17 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
A premium they did not need to pay, Hollin Pierce a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at slot 135 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 150th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153
Rnd5
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in No. 153 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in Round 5, Pick 17 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Fadil Diggs
They reached into another round for Fadil Diggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
A reach on Desmond Watson in pick 224; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 231st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246
Rnd7
Justin Walley
Justin Walley at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick253
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 253 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
