Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Dolphins.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Ben Sinnott, 51 picks early at No. 92.
Getting Speights where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
Troy Fautanu at the 46th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Steal is underselling it; Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Graham Barton at pick No. 82 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at No. 92, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Drake Nugent well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in the 158th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Michael Barrett in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Circle this one: Omar Speights at pick 242 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
