The Justin Rogers selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 35 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McGlothern.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 27 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They paid a round early for Kiran Amegadjie in the 55th pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 10, with Kamren Kinchens worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
A real head-scratcher, Justin Rogers in No. 158 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Dwight McGlothern at pick 184 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They jumped the gun on Trente Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Cornelius Johnson is a better player than Round 6, Pick 23 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Ethan Driskell at slot 241 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
