FutureA-
Larceny in the 199th overall pick lands the Dolphins a D-, Phillips and all. Somebody took the Dolphins to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Powers-Johnson left real value on the table behind him.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 53 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
They jumped the gun on Braden Fiske, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Roman Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
They went early on Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jarvis Brownlee Jr.. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick132
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 32 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135
Rnd4
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in No. 135 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at slot 155 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199
Rnd6
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the 199th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick209
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They did well to land JD Bertrand in pick 209, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
