If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Rondell Bothroyd at the 242nd overall pick is 34 spots clear of where he belonged.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
Patrick Paul at pick 53 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 104. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Fair-plus on Cole Bishop, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cedric Gray at No. 140 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A straight-up fair deal on Austin Booker at Round 5, Pick 22, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Nice patience on Javon Baker, who had no business lasting to pick 186. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
By-the-book stuff, Omar Speights at Round 6, Pick 24 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Rondell Bothroyd at slot 242 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
