Call it larceny. Kobe King sat on the board until the 224th pick, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Uiagalelei has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 12
In pick No. 22 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 17
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 106
Hollin Pierce at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 104
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Mason Taylor · TE · rank 98
Value with a capital V on Mason Taylor in the 114th overall pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.27 · Pick 128 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 110
Cam Skattebo at the 128th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
R5.12 · Pick 149 · Demetrius Knight Jr. · LB · rank 65
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Demetrius Knight Jr. in slot 149, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.17 · Pick 154 · Jake Majors · C · rank 92
Jake Majors at No. 154 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.27 · Pick 164 · DJ Uiagalelei · QB · rank 266
DJ Uiagalelei at pick 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.29 · Pick 166 · Shemar Turner · DL · rank 167
By-the-book stuff, Shemar Turner at pick No. 166 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Kobe King · LB · rank 124
Kobe King in pick 224 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.15 · Pick 231 · James Burnip · P · rank 158
They barely believed it either: James Burnip still on the board at No. 231. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.36 · Pick 252 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 260
They jumped the gun on Garrett Dellinger, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
