The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: Denzel Boston, the No. 30 name on the board, sitting there at No. 94 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Carnell Tate · WR · rank 12
In No. 11 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Peter Woods · DL-EDGE · rank 16
In the 30th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Gennings Dunker · OT · rank 49
Gennings Dunker at pick 43 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
They robbed the room for A.J. Haulcy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in Round 3, Pick 23, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Chris Bell · WR · rank 40
Chris Bell at the 90th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Denzel Boston · WR · rank 30
They will replay Denzel Boston at pick No. 94 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Mike Washington Jr. · RB · rank 75
Mike Washington Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Jack Endries · TE · rank 121
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Zavion Thomas · WR · rank 224
Zavion Thomas at Round 7, Pick 11 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Diego Pavia · QB · rank 241
A straight-up fair deal on Diego Pavia at pick 238, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
