Nobody else had Akheem Mesidor anywhere near No. 207. The Dolphins did, by 74 spots, and that gap is the whole story. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Rouse falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
They talked themselves into Adisa Isaac at pick No. 61, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at pick 166, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A big swing on Akheem Mesidor at No. 207, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
The board had Walter Rouse higher than the 250th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
