The Dolphins drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: D. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Thor Griffith. He came off 130 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
That Fitzgerald pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In pick No. 3 they get the face of the franchise. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in No. 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick48
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at the 48th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick65
Rnd3
Xavier Restrepo
They paid sticker price for Xavier Restrepo in the 65th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 67 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at pick No. 94 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at slot 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
A big swing on Tyler Shough at pick 103, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
A tight end of that caliber at the 115th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Addison West
Addison West in Round 4, Pick 34 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
The board fumbled Carson Schwesinger all the way to the 146th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 151st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156
Rnd5
Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick165
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
You do not let a running back like Brashard Smith reach No. 165 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Clay Webb
They reached into another round for Clay Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188
Rnd6
Joey Slackman
A wild overpay on Joey Slackman in the 188th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194
Rnd6
Hayden Conner
A reach on Hayden Conner in slot 194; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202
Rnd6
Hunter Wohler
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hunter Wohler. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick209
Rnd6
Maxen Hook
Maxen Hook at the 209th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 41. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
A conviction pick on Cody Lindenberg at pick 217 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Shaun Dolac
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shaun Dolac well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
No drama and no debate, Jake Briningstool went about where he belonged in No. 233. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
They will replay Ryan Fitzgerald at pick No. 252 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
