Call it larceny. Jarrian Jones sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If Jefferson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
The Terrace Marshall Jr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
A quiet steal in pick No. 33: Troy Fautanu for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Roman Wilson at the 58th overall pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
No drama and no debate, Kamren Kinchens went about where he belonged in slot 65. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A big swing on Justin Eboigbe at pick 126, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The board fumbled Jarrian Jones all the way to the 184th pick, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Value with a capital V on Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Somehow Caedan Wallace was still sitting there in No. 241, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
