The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaishawn Barham; the Dolphins did not wait, grabbing him 34 spots ahead at No. 87. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and running back. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rolder.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kenyon Sadiq and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Denzel Boston · WR · rank 30
Denzel Boston at Round 1, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 19
Kenyon Sadiq slipping to slot 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 34
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at pick 43 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 81
By-the-book stuff, Daylen Everette at pick No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Jaishawn Barham · LB-EDGE · rank 121
Jaishawn Barham in the 87th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Kyle Louis · LB · rank 84
Fair-plus on Kyle Louis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Devin Moore · CB · rank 87
A curious use of slot 94. Interior defensive lineman and running back needed the pick; a cornerback in Devin Moore did not.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 146
Jaeden Roberts at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 182
A real head-scratcher, Ephesians Prysock in the 151st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Jimmy Rolder · LB · rank 213
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jimmy Rolder at No. 227. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Cole Payton · QB · rank 236
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Payton. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
