The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: D-. Nobody else had Jackson Hawes anywhere near pick No. 135. The Dolphins did, by 115 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Landing Winston Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In slot 20 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick48
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63
Rnd2
Denzel Burke
A big swing on Denzel Burke at Round 2, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98
Rnd3
Will Howard
They took Will Howard at par in pick No. 98, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Value with a capital V on Kevin Winston Jr. in the 115th pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in pick No. 135, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Pat Bryant at No. 151 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156
Rnd5
James Burnip
A market-rate specialist, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Burnip. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick199
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 199th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Brady Cook
Brady Cook in Round 7, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252
Rnd7
Kai Kroeger
They paid a round early for Kai Kroeger in the 252nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
