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

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Eric Gentry at No. 227 regardless, 125 picks early.

On value alone, Slaughter makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Jeremiyah Love · RB · rank 2
Jeremiyah Love slid further than he should have, and the 11th pick is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
In No. 30 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Blake Miller · OT · rank 45
Blake Miller in the 43rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Markel Bell · OT · rank 112
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Markel Bell well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
They will replay Jake Slaughter at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 61
You do not let a cornerback like Keionte Scott reach Round 3, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Demond Claiborne · RB · rank 162
Demond Claiborne in the 94th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 157
They talked themselves into Drew Allar at slot 130, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Taylen Green · QB · rank 188
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taylen Green this early at the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 352
They reached into another round for Eric Gentry, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Adam Randall · RB · rank 275
A real head-scratcher, Adam Randall in pick 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
