Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Braelon Allen. He came off 31 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
However the rest shakes out, Robinson at that price is a win they earned. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Chop Robinson in the 53rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Cooper Beebe in the 76th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They reached a country mile for Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 24, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They took Justin Rogers at par in pick 158, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Joe Milton III in slot 174. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
De'Corian Clark at pick No. 186 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Ethan Driskell in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Nice patience on BJ Mayes, who had no business lasting to slot 242. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
