FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Dolphins. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Barryn Sorrell in the 198th pick, a good 113 spots before the room expected him.
However the rest shakes out, Harvey at that price is a win they earned. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 20th pick they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the 48th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick51
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 19 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104
Rnd4
Deone Walker
Circle this one: Deone Walker at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115
Rnd4
Charles Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Charles Grant at slot 115 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135
Rnd4
Fadil Diggs
They talked themselves into Fadil Diggs at No. 135, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jalen Milroe
Somehow Jalen Milroe was still sitting there in the 151st overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Quincy Riley well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick198
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at Round 6, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210
Rnd6
CJ West
No edge and no loss on CJ West in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230
Rnd7
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in pick No. 230 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233
Rnd7
Chimere Dike
You do not let a wide receiver like Chimere Dike reach the 233rd pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Nick Martin
The board had cheaper options than Nick Martin at slot 248, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jaylin Lane
A wild overpay on Jaylin Lane in the 252nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
