There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Gabe Hall a full 41 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Bertrand steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 26th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Adisa Isaac in the 54th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A real head-scratcher, Kamal Hadden in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They talked themselves into Gabe Hall at pick No. 159, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They reached a country mile for Jalen Green at slot 188, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and JD Bertrand at No. 200 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanner McLachlan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
