Miami Dolphins

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent the Round 2 slot on Michael Hall Jr., a name the board had a full 27 spots lower. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Dolphins indulged a want in Solomon while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in slot 36. It fills a real need, too.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
A real head-scratcher, Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 55 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 116
A curious use of the Round 3 slot. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in the 100th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 137
They went early on Jaylin Simpson in No. 124, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kitan Oladapo while clear needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 179
A wild overpay on Jha'Quan Jackson in the 158th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 211
Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 221
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for JD Bertrand. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
The board had cheaper options than Kimani Vidal at No. 241, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
