The Dolphins' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Kinchens. If Lindberg pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 21 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Good price on McCallan Castles in the 158th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Isaiah Davis at Round 6, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Aki Ogunbiyi in pick 199 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Value said wait; Chad Lindberg in pick No. 242 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
