The Drake Nugent selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 27 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Latu pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 23rd overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
They took Xavier Worthy at par in No. 55, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Javon Foster at slot 108 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
A premium they did not need to pay, Layden Robinson a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in Round 6, Pick 9, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Julian Pearl in pick No. 198 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Josh Proctor at No. 230 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They paid a round early for LaDarius Henderson in the 241st pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
