Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent the 90th overall pick on Carson Beck, a name the board had a full 31 spots lower. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

However the rest shakes out, Klare at that price is a win they earned. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Keldric Faulk · DE-EDGE · rank 13
In slot 11 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 27
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Thieneman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Chris Bell · WR · rank 41
Chris Bell at pick No. 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Domonique Orange · DT · rank 73
They paid sticker price for Domonique Orange in pick 75, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Austin Barber · OT · rank 113
A wild overpay on Austin Barber in Round 3, Pick 23, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Carson Beck · QB · rank 121
Value said wait; Carson Beck in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Max Klare · TE · rank 76
Max Klare in pick No. 94 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Will Lee III · CB · rank 126
Will Lee III in the 130th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 138
They let DeMonte Capehart come to them and pounced at slot 151. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
