A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

2024 NFL Draft
· 8 picks
· 2 steals
· 2 reaches
The Dolphins' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
Landing Hadden that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If Robinson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
Fair-plus on Troy Fautanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Ricky Pearsall at the 55th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
No edge and no loss on DeWayne Carter in No. 97; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They paid up for Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 115 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A conviction pick on Layden Robinson at Round 5, Pick 22 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Trente Jones in slot 198 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Trevin Wallace slipping to pick 241 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
