The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: D.

2024 NFL Draft
· 7 picks
· 1 steals
· 3 reaches
It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jaylon Hutchings in the 198th overall pick, a good 156 spots before the room expected him.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 21 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
No drama and no debate, Adisa Isaac went about where he belonged in pick No. 55. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 1: Payton Wilson for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
The board had cheaper options than Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chau Smith-Wade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Kendall Milton in No. 184 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Jaylon Hutchings in No. 198 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
