FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins. The Dametrious Crownover selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 47 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
On value alone, Golday makes the weekend a net positive. It is not that Kilgore is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 18th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Colton Hood
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick43
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at pick 43 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in Round 3, Pick 11, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Jake Golday at the 87th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dametrious Crownover well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Logan Jones
Logan Jones in Round 3, Pick 30 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Jalon Kilgore in the 130th overall pick leaves quarterback and tight end for later.
Pick151
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kevin Coleman Jr. at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington in pick No. 227 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Circle this one: Jeff Caldwell at No. 238 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
