Future B-

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Dolphins were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots. If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Worthy.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.6 · Pick 38 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
They read the board right and Graham Barton was the payoff at the 38th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 58
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Braden Fiske. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
Nice patience on Xavier Worthy, who had no business lasting to slot 69. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Renardo Green · S · rank 76
Good price on Renardo Green in the 82nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 123
A premium they did not need to pay, McKinnley Jackson a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 116
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in No. 117 leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots for later.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 121
Nothing to complain about; Josh Newton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 185
They paid sticker price for Jordan Jefferson in pick 184, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 193
Delmar Glaze in slot 185 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
R6.24 · Pick 199 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 187
Cornelius Johnson at pick 199 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
