Miami Dolphins

More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 36 picks early on Garrett Nussmeier, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They banked enough surplus on Lew to cover a lot of smaller sins. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Monroe Freeling · OT · rank 26
In No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Jermod McCoy · CB · rank 18
In the 30th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Garrett Nussmeier · QB · rank 79
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Nussmeier in the 43rd pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
A.J. Haulcy in pick No. 75 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Jake Golday · OLB · rank 58
Jake Golday at pick 87 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Jonah Coleman · RB · rank 67
Somehow Jonah Coleman was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Connor Lew · C · rank 61
Taking Connor Lew in slot 94 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 122
Bryce Lance slid further than he should have, and pick No. 130 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Chris McClellan · DT · rank 137
Chris McClellan is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Miles Kitselman · TE · rank 217
A slide stopped in the 227th overall pick, with Miles Kitselman worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Nick Barrett · DL · rank 251
Nick Barrett at pick 238 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
