The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Dametrious Crownover, 52 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lew. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
In pick 11 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Caleb Tiernan · OT · rank 53
In slot 30 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Chase Bisontis · OG · rank 71
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chase Bisontis in the 47th overall pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Markel Bell · OT · rank 105
Markel Bell in the 75th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 139
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dametrious Crownover this early at pick No. 87. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Connor Lew · C · rank 62
The board fumbled Connor Lew all the way to No. 90, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Isaiah World · OT · rank 141
Isaiah World at No. 96 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 112
Ted Hurst is a better player than slot 126 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Justin Joly · TE · rank 115
They let Justin Joly come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 30. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Zxavian Harris · DT · rank 150
Zxavian Harris at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.28 · Pick 168 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 171
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in the 168th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.7 · Pick 188 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 184
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeff Caldwell in the 188th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 229
A reach for Charles Demmings in pick No. 220; a little patience would have been rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Nolan Rucci · OT · rank 254
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nolan Rucci well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 251
A premium they did not need to pay, Bryce Foster a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
