Call it larceny. Dillon Thieneman sat on the board until No. 87, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Avieon Terrell · CB · rank 17
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 19
In slot 30 they get a security blanket over the middle, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · R Mason Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 33
A slide stopped in pick 43, with R Mason Thomas worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Omar Cooper Jr. · WR · rank 34
They barely believed it either: Omar Cooper Jr. still on the board at No. 75. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
They will replay Dillon Thieneman at pick No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in Round 3, Pick 25, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Antonio Williams · WR · rank 64
The board fumbled Antonio Williams all the way to the 90th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Max Klare · TE · rank 78
A quiet steal in the 94th pick: Max Klare for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Billy Schrauth · OG · rank 119
Billy Schrauth in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Taurean York · LB · rank 117
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Taurean York in pick 129. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Will Lee III · CB · rank 124
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Will Lee III in the 130th overall pick leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Isaiah World · OT · rank 145
A clean, defensible pick in No. 151 with a little surplus value in Isaiah World. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · TJ Hall · CB · rank 217
They read the board right and TJ Hall was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 11. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
