The rest of the league had time to spare on Christian Jones; the Dolphins did not wait, grabbing him 34 spots ahead at the 163rd overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 65
No drama and no debate, Zach Frazier went about where he belonged in pick No. 59. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 75
Johnny Wilson at pick 62 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
Junior Colson in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 85
Gabriel Murphy is a better player than No. 94 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
They talked themselves into Braelon Allen at the 130th pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 164
Joe Milton III at the 137th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Justin Rogers · DL · rank 161
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Rogers. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
Value said wait; Christian Jones in pick 163 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.24 · Pick 199 · Isaiah Neyor · WR · rank 218
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Neyor in the Round 6 slot, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 221
The board fumbled Sheridan Jones all the way to Round 7, Pick 19, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
