Future B-

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Dolphins spent pick No. 125 on Javon Solomon while interior defensive lineman sat unaddressed. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Schrader pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Landing Kneeland that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 32
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 59
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in Round 2, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 80
They read the board right and Marshawn Kneeland was the payoff at pick 88. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 130
They took Ben Sinnott at par in the 123rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 117
A want over a need in pick No. 125: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · James Williams · S · rank 125
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 174
Cody Schrader in No. 158 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
They went early on Joe Milton III in slot 184, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
Nothing to complain about; Ty'Ron Hopper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 208
Jaylen Harrell in pick 198 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 242
A straight-up fair deal on KT Leveston at slot 241, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
