FutureA-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Nick Gargiulo in pick 250, a good 31 spots before the room expected him.
The Smith pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
They paid sticker price for Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 55, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 63rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at pick 84 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 94th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter slipping to slot 124 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in No. 149 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to the 158th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
No edge and no loss on Jaheim Bell in pick 164; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
The board fumbled Tykee Smith all the way to No. 178, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick184
Rnd6
Myles Cole
They jumped the gun on Myles Cole, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Tupuola-Fetui well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They did well to land Joe Milton III in pick No. 205, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
A wild overpay on C.J. Hanson in Round 7, Pick 21, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nick Gargiulo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Gargiulo in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
