The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Matthew Jones, 73 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 56th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in pick No. 161 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Brian Ugwu in the 245th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
