The Dolphins torched the value chart for Beaux Limmer, taking him 47 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
That McGlothern pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Patrick Paul is a better player than the 78th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Beaux Limmer at No. 81 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They talked themselves into Layden Robinson at pick No. 158, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at slot 184 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Dwight McGlothern in Round 6, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 241 with a little surplus value in Dominique Hampton. It adds depth where they could use a little.
