FutureD-
Ward is the plan now, and the Dolphins grade out a F. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Dolphins did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.
Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They are betting Slater proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Marks. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In slot 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In No. 14 they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 48th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in the 90th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Nice patience on Charles Grant, who had no business lasting to pick 98. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A slide stopped in pick No. 103, with Cam Skattebo worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Lathan Ransom at Round 4, Pick 15. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nohl Williams at the 127th overall pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
They paid a round early for Jackson Slater in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150
Rnd5
Denzel Burke
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Denzel Burke in slot 150, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jaylin Lane
They will replay Jaylin Lane at pick 155 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caleb Ransaw in pick No. 224. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick231
Rnd7
Woody Marks
A running back of that caliber at No. 231 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
No drama and no debate, Isaac TeSlaa went about where he belonged in the 232nd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 37 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
