Miami Dolphins

Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Hadden: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Dolphins never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Getting Hadden where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every board in the league had Keegan lower, and that gap is the story.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 44
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Guyton a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 60 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 64
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 107
By-the-book stuff, DeWayne Carter at the 104th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 140
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at Round 5, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.25 · Pick 200 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 202
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 256
Trevor Keegan at pick 243 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
