There is reaching, and then there is Andrew Raym at the Round 6 slot. The Dolphins jumped the board by 55 and dared it to prove them wrong. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 21st overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They talked themselves into Layden Robinson at pick No. 158, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Andrew Raym in pick 184 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keaton Bills in Round 6, Pick 23, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Cornelius Johnson at slot 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
