The rest of the league will want that one back. Johnny Dixon tumbling to the Dolphins in pick 228 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The cost of the Barner reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 22
In pick 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 79
They liked Jermaine Burton enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 70
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in the 71st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in No. 90, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 100
Kamren Kinchens at pick No. 104 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 115
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at Round 4, Pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 143
A reach on Xavier Thomas in slot 130; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 166
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for AJ Barner. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 149
Tykee Smith at No. 158 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 163
Sataoa Laumea at Round 6, Pick 9 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Justin Rogers · DL · rank 225
Justin Rogers at slot 198 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Jalen Coker · WR · rank 211
A slide stopped in pick No. 226, with Jalen Coker worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 200
They barely believed it either: Johnny Dixon still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
