Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Danny Stutsman, the No. 85 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 5 slot.

They will need Brosmer to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Castro pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 20
In the 15th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tate Ratledge at pick 48 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 71
Andrew Mukuba at No. 98 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Maxwell Hairston · CB · rank 96
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Maxwell Hairston in the 114th overall pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 105
They let Luke Kandra come to them and pounced at slot 116. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Sebastian Castro · S · rank 86
A surprising call. With wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 133 on Sebastian Castro, a safety they were not short of.
R5.12 · Pick 149 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 91
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R5.17 · Pick 154 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 85
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach Round 5, Pick 17 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Max Brosmer · QB · rank 274
They reached a country mile for Max Brosmer at pick No. 224, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.15 · Pick 231 · Karene Reid · LB · rank 177
Karene Reid in the 231st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.36 · Pick 252 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 209
They robbed the room for Jake Briningstool here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
