Miami Dolphins

Scott should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Keionte Scott, pick 90, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Stephens has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Mansoor Delane · CB · rank 8
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Zion Young · DE-EDGE · rank 42
In the 30th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Derrick Moore · DE-EDGE · rank 62
This one needs a full-page explanation: Derrick Moore in the 43rd pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Sarratt at slot 75, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Treydan Stukes in Round 3, Pick 23 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 60
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent pick 90 on Keionte Scott, a cornerback they were not short of.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 90
Fair-plus on Bryce Lance, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 158
A real head-scratcher, Beau Stephens in pick No. 130 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 176
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaleb Elarms-Orr this early at Round 5, Pick 11. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Jalen Huskey · S · rank 240
They paid a round early for Jalen Huskey in pick No. 227, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Nolan Rucci · OT · rank 253
A reach for Nolan Rucci in slot 238; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
