More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Tahj Washington, 121 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 27 they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at No. 90, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
The board had cheaper options than Kitan Oladapo at the 158th overall pick, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Harrell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick No. 199 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Tahj Washington in the 242nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
