The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. Troy Omeire went at pick 242, a good 32 picks before the board was ready. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harrison Jr.. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 21 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Graham Barton at No. 53 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Good price on Braelon Allen in pick No. 158, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Jones a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Jefferson in pick 199, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A big swing on Troy Omeire at Round 7, Pick 22, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
