If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Dolphins, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The McGlothern pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Knight left real value on the table behind him.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 32
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 58
Braden Fiske in the 62nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 73
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 71, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Jaden Hicks at Round 3, Pick 27 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 92
Gabriel Murphy at slot 93 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
They did well to land Kitan Oladapo in the 158th pick, just ahead of his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Justin Rogers · DL · rank 193
They paid a round early for Justin Rogers in Round 6, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
Taking Dwight McGlothern in the 186th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 192
A tidy little value on Delmar Glaze in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 256
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyrice Knight a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
