The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tyrone Tracy Jr. fell into slot 184.
If Reed pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick-by-Pick
A tidy bit of business in the 21st overall pick, where Joe Alt graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Brennan Jackson in Round 5, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in No. 184 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trevor Keegan reach pick No. 198 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Fabien Lovett in the 209th pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Reed well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
