The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a C+.

2024 NFL Draft

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jaheim Bell, 107 picks early at Round 2, Pick 23. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.
That Washington pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 21st pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A big swing on Jaheim Bell at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Circle this one: Malik Washington at the 157th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Jaylan Ford in No. 171 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
They reached into another round for Eyabi Okie-Anoma, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They barely believed it either: Jarrian Jones still on the board at slot 200. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They will replay Kendall Milton at the 239th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
