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

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In pick 17 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 12
Malaki Starks at slot 49 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 75
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.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Earnest Greene III · OT · rank 160
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.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Mason Taylor · TE · rank 82
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.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 87
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.
R5.12 · Pick 149 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 105
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.
R5.17 · Pick 154 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
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.
R5.20 · Pick 157 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 115
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.
R6.16 · Pick 191 · Terrance Ferguson · TE · rank 120
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.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 317
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.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 131
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at pick 224 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
R7.15 · Pick 231 · Seth Henigan · QB · rank 444
Value said wait; Seth Henigan in slot 231 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.36 · Pick 252 · James Burnip · P · rank 168
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.
