FutureB-
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Bernard: D+. The Dolphins lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Payton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jeremiyah Love at Round 1, Pick 11. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick30
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In the 30th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles is a better player than slot 32 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43
Rnd2
Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in pick No. 43 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
You do not let a wide receiver like Germie Bernard reach pick 87 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94
Rnd3
Sam Roush
A clean, defensible pick in pick 94 with a little surplus value in Sam Roush. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A slide stopped in slot 130, with Bryce Lance worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
A tidy little value on Beau Stephens in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Nwankpa at the 188th pick is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick227
Rnd7
Cole Payton
They jumped the gun on Cole Payton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238
Rnd7
TJ Hall
The board had TJ Hall higher than No. 238, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
