The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Akheem Mesidor at Round 7, Pick 12, roughly 120 spots before his name belonged.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mukuba. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 19
In No. 22 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 30
Somehow Tate Ratledge was still sitting there in slot 49, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 38
They let T.J. Sanders come to them and pounced at pick 53. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 58
Tyler Warren in pick No. 98 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Jake Majors · C · rank 65
Jake Majors at the 99th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Jaxson Dart · QB · rank 136
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaxson Dart this early at Round 4, Pick 15. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.22 · Pick 123 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 96
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.14 · Pick 152 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 212
Davison Igbinosun at the 152nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.20 · Pick 158 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 82
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at pick 158. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.12 · Pick 226 · Akheem Mesidor · DL-EDGE · rank 346
They reached into another round for Akheem Mesidor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.18 · Pick 232 · Jimmy Horn Jr. · WR · rank 298
A real head-scratcher, Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 232nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.37 · Pick 251 · Tony Grimes · CB · rank 260
A conviction pick on Tony Grimes at slot 251 that the board grades a round light. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
