Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jeffrey Bassa got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. More want than need.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Booker at the 48th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A straight-up fair deal on Mason Taylor at pick No. 98, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Tory Horton slid further than he should have, and the 114th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at pick 133. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Rylie Mills in slot 149 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A running back of that caliber at No. 154 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Jeffrey Bassa in Round 7, Pick 8 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Taking Connor Colby in slot 231 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Jack Kiser at the 252nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
