Grand theft in slot 252: the Dolphins steal Dart and grade out a C+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Jaxson Dart, the No. 39 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 252. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

If Cross III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonah Savaiinaea. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
They reached into another round for Jalen Milroe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Value said wait; Howard Cross III in slot 115 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
By-the-book stuff, Pat Bryant at No. 135 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw in the 151st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns in the 156th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Joe Huber
A real head-scratcher, Joe Huber in pick No. 226 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jaxson Dart in pick No. 252, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
