Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent Round 5, Pick 36 on Tyrice Knight, a name most had 41 spots down the list.

Landing Jackson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 22
In No. 26 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 57
Zach Frazier in the 55th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 65
Cooper Beebe in the 57th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 92
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Bishop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 114
A premium they did not need to pay, Mohamed Kamara a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Jalyx Hunt · DE-EDGE · rank 128
Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 120 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
They barely believed it either: Khyree Jackson still on the board at the 125th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Erick All · TE · rank 129
No edge and no loss on Erick All in pick 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 131
The board had Javon Foster higher than Round 5, Pick 3, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.13 · Pick 149 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 152
Mason McCormick at No. 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 165
McKinnley Jackson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 161
Value with a capital V on Jordan Magee in slot 171, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 213
They reached a country mile for Tyrice Knight at the 172nd pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
