Miami Dolphins

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

The war room fell hard for Joshua Braun, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 47 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Slaughter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 40
In No. 29 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Omar Cooper Jr. · WR · rank 34
In pick 30 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Caleb Tiernan · OT · rank 54
A conviction pick on Caleb Tiernan at Round 2, Pick 11 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in pick No. 75, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Sam Roush · TE · rank 89
No edge and no loss on Sam Roush in the 87th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 101
They jumped the gun on Nicholas Singleton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Michael Trigg · TE · rank 107
The board had cheaper options than Michael Trigg at Round 3, Pick 28, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 112
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ted Hurst this early at No. 94. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Ja'Kobi Lane · WR · rank 94
The board had Ja'Kobi Lane higher than the Round 4 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Mike Washington Jr. · RB · rank 116
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 120 with a little surplus value in Mike Washington Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Isaiah World · OT · rank 141
A reach for Isaiah World in the 130th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Zxavian Harris · DT · rank 151
Zxavian Harris in slot 151 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.22 · Pick 162 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 172
A reach on Domani Jackson in the 162nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.5 · Pick 221 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 247
A wild overpay on Bryce Foster in pick 221, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.10 · Pick 226 · Logan Taylor · OG · rank 258
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Taylor in No. 226, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Nolan Rucci · OT · rank 250
Nolan Rucci at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Joshua Braun · OG · rank 285
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Braun well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
