Miami Dolphins

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Sarratt: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Elijah Sarratt, the 116th overall pick, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The Bowry pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 40
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick No. 43. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Caleb Banks · DL · rank 42
Caleb Banks in Round 2, Pick 15 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 63
The board had Keionte Scott higher than the 75th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 49
The board fumbled Lee Hunter all the way to pick 87, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Jude Bowry · OT · rank 130
Jude Bowry in No. 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Cade Klubnik · QB · rank 141
They reached into another round for Cade Klubnik, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elijah Sarratt in slot 116, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · CJ Daniels · WR · rank 144
A clean, defensible pick in slot 151 with a little surplus value in CJ Daniels. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.12 · Pick 152 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 150
Charles Demmings at the 152nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R5.28 · Pick 168 · Louis Moore · S · rank 168
Louis Moore in Round 5, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Chase Roberts · WR · rank 220
Good price on Chase Roberts in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Thaddeus Dixon · CB · rank 228
They let Thaddeus Dixon come to them and pounced at pick No. 238. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.39 · Pick 255 · Zavion Thomas · WR · rank 234
Zavion Thomas at No. 255 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
