Nobody else had Seth Henigan anywhere near the 231st pick. The Dolphins did, by 213 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The Bassa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 17 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Malaki Starks at slot 49 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Tate Ratledge in the 55th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Earnest Greene III well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Mason Taylor at pick No. 114 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Circle this one: Carson Schwesinger at Round 4, Pick 32 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in the 149th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Taking Luke Kandra in the 157th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
They will replay Terrance Ferguson at No. 191 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They reached a country mile for Jasheen Davis at Round 6, Pick 38, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at pick 224 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Value said wait; Seth Henigan in slot 231 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
James Burnip in pick No. 252 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
