The Dolphins spent real capital to be 113 picks early on Jaylon Hutchings, and the board is going to hold them to it.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Landing Rice that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 21st overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Bralen Trice at pick No. 55 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Sedrick Van Pran in pick 65 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A quiet steal in the 105th pick: Brenden Rice for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A conviction pick on McKinnley Jackson at slot 112 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Kitan Oladapo at No. 158 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
They took Kendall Milton at par in No. 198, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A wild overpay on Daequan Hardy in pick No. 225, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A real head-scratcher, Jaylon Hutchings in Round 7, Pick 21 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
