FutureB-
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: B. Nobody had Jalen Farmer this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 65 spots to get him at the Round 3 slot. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Washington Jr. at that price is a win they earned.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In No. 11 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that.
Pick31
Rnd1
Omar Cooper Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
A premium they did not need to pay, Caleb Tiernan a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Markel Bell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Markel Bell in slot 79, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dametrious Crownover well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Isaiah World
They talked themselves into Isaiah World at pick No. 92, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jalen Farmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Farmer. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Washington Jr. in pick 130. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at No. 151 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeff Caldwell. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at Round 6, Pick 7 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Value said wait; Nolan Rucci in pick No. 227 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
They reached a country mile for Logan Taylor at slot 238, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
