Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent No. 241 on John Morgan III, a name most had 101 spots down the list. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. On value alone, Baker makes the weekend a net positive. The Dolphins indulged a want in Hart while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 17
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 26
In the 30th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 35
Jordan Morgan in the 57th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 124
They reached a country mile for Beaux Limmer at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 174
They left a pile of value on the table to take Layden Robinson this early at pick 88. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · James Williams · S · rank 120
James Williams at slot 125 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 94
A curious use of the 126th pick. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Cam Hart did not.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 95
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 128 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 144
Tommy Eichenberg at the 144th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in slot 158 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 246
LaDarius Henderson at pick 184 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 254
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · John Morgan III · DL-EDGE · rank 342
John Morgan III at pick No. 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
