You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Jalen Farmer at the Round 1 slot, roughly 76 spots before his name belonged.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Francis Mauigoa · OT · rank 6
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.3 · Pick 3 · Spencer Fano · OT · rank 10
In pick No. 3 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
R1.4 · Pick 4 · Kadyn Proctor · OT · rank 14
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. A real need, handled.
R1.5 · Pick 5 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
Olaivavega Ioane at slot 5 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
R1.6 · Pick 6 · Monroe Freeling · OT · rank 26
In the 6th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
R1.7 · Pick 7 · Caleb Lomu · OT · rank 28
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caleb Lomu well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
R1.11 · Pick 11 · Blake Miller · OT · rank 45
In pick No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Jalen Farmer · OG · rank 106
In slot 30 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
They paid sticker price for Emmanuel Pregnon in the 33rd pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Gennings Dunker · OT · rank 49
Gennings Dunker in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Caleb Tiernan · OT · rank 54
Caleb Tiernan at No. 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Slaughter this early at the 37th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
