Miami Dolphins

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

The Dolphins bet big and early on Nadame Tucker, 44 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Ioane pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Mansoor Delane · CB · rank 8
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Gabe Jacas · LB-EDGE · rank 52
Gabe Jacas at the 43rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Skyler Bell · WR · rank 88
A reach on Skyler Bell in No. 79; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Caden Curry · DE-EDGE · rank 131
Value said wait; Caden Curry in slot 90 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Michael Trigg · TE · rank 115
Michael Trigg at the 120th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Nadame Tucker · DE-EDGE · rank 174
Nadame Tucker in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 149
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Demmings at slot 148, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Louis Moore · S · rank 166
They liked Louis Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 151. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.14 · Pick 154 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 150
Jaeden Roberts in the 154th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.34 · Pick 174 · J'Mari Taylor · RB · rank 192
A real head-scratcher, J'Mari Taylor in No. 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.30 · Pick 211 · Nick Barrett · DL · rank 254
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Barrett this early at Round 6, Pick 30. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Keyshaun Elliott · LB · rank 219
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keyshaun Elliott in pick No. 227. It fills a real need, too.
R7.13 · Pick 229 · Jack Kelly · LB · rank 256
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Kelly. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Deven Eastern · DL · rank 279
Deven Eastern at No. 238 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
