The curious call sets the tone. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still glaring, the Dolphins used slot 75 on Michael Taaffe, a safety they were not exactly short of.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Makai Lemon · WR · rank 10
In the 11th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 27
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Joshua Josephs · DE-EDGE · rank 45
Joshua Josephs in pick No. 43 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Michael Taaffe · S · rank 71
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Michael Taaffe while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Kyle Louis · LB · rank 87
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Louis. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Zakee Wheatley · S · rank 90
A curious use of the 90th overall pick. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Zakee Wheatley did not.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Devin Moore · CB · rank 95
No drama and no debate, Devin Moore went about where he belonged in the 94th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
