FutureB-
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: B. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent the 51st pick on Dante Dowdell, a name the board had a full 207 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Roland falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Trevor Goosby
In slot 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Cam Coleman
They liked Cam Coleman enough to skip the value, taking him in the 12th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick19
Rnd1
David Stone
David Stone at Round 1, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick20
Rnd1
Trey'Dez Green
In No. 20 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in the 43rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51
Rnd2
Dante Dowdell
A real head-scratcher, Dante Dowdell in pick No. 51 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery at No. 75 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83
Rnd3
Will Heldt
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Will Heldt in slot 83. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander slipping to pick No. 87 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Joenel Aguero
They robbed the room for Joenel Aguero here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111
Rnd4
Darian Mensah
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darian Mensah. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kade Pieper this early at pick 112. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119
Rnd4
AJ Green
They reached into another round for AJ Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Noah Carter
Noah Carter at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jayden Jackson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 150, where Jayden Jackson graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156
Rnd5
Sullivan Absher
They reached a country mile for Sullivan Absher at No. 156, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177
Rnd5
Maraad Watson
Maraad Watson at the 177th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198
Rnd6
TJ Metcalf
TJ Metcalf at pick 198 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick215
Rnd6
Boo Carter
A clean, defensible pick in slot 215 with a little surplus value in Boo Carter. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick221
Rnd7
La'khi Roland
Taking La'khi Roland in the 221st pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick225
Rnd7
Laurence Seymore
Laurence Seymore in Round 7, Pick 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227
Rnd7
Cody Jackson
No edge and no loss on Cody Jackson in pick 227; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235
Rnd7
Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams slid further than he should have, and slot 235 is lovely value for the cornerback. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
