The Dolphins did not so much draft Jared Wiley as overpay for him, 47 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
The board had cheaper options than Adisa Isaac at the 54th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Justin Eboigbe. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Barrett. The roster fit checks out.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Restrepo well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They talked themselves into Jared Wiley at Round 7, Pick 23, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
