Nobody had Tahj Washington this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 108 spots to get him at pick No. 243.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The back end got a real overhaul.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 55
Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 54 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 183
This one needs a full-page explanation: Josh Proctor in pick No. 159, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Marcus Harris · DL-EDGE · rank 228
Marcus Harris at the 186th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.25 · Pick 200 · Aaron Lewis · DL-EDGE · rank 288
Value said wait; Aaron Lewis in No. 200 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Tahj Washington · WR · rank 351
A wild overpay on Tahj Washington in the 243rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
