FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for JJ Pegues. He came off 47 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
However the rest shakes out, Thornton Jr. at that price is a win they earned. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In slot 24 they get a seam-stretching tight end, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They paid sticker price for Charles Grant in the 98th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
The board had Jalen Milroe higher than the 115th pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at Round 4, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151
Rnd5
Cody Simon
A tidy bit of business in the 151st overall pick, where Cody Simon graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
No edge and no loss on Damien Martinez in slot 156; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Jackson this early at the 185th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233
Rnd7
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 233 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Circle this one: Ja'Corey Brooks at Round 7, Pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
