Some picks age like wine; Barryn Sorrell at the 160th overall pick will need to, sitting 133 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Judkins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Castro while a need in wide receiver, tight end and other spots stayed open. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jahdae Barron · CB · rank 14
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 20
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 15 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · JT Tuimoloau · DE-EDGE · rank 61
They took JT Tuimoloau at par in No. 62, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 78
Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 111
Luke Kandra in pick No. 99 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.36 · Pick 100 · Riley Leonard · QB · rank 156
A big swing on Riley Leonard at the 100th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Jake Majors · C · rank 95
Jake Majors in No. 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
R4.33 · Pick 134 · Sebastian Castro · S · rank 90
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Sebastian Castro adds a safety while wide receiver, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
R5.10 · Pick 148 · Joshua Gray · OG · rank 175
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joshua Gray this early at pick No. 148. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.19 · Pick 157 · Connor Colby · OG · rank 177
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Connor Colby well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.21 · Pick 159 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 76
Quinshon Judkins at pick 159 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.22 · Pick 160 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 293
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
