Nobody had Eyabi Okie-Anoma this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 42 spots to get him at No. 241. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Sanders pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
They robbed the room for Ja'Tavion Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
The board had Nehemiah Pritchett higher than pick 158, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
No edge and no loss on Tahj Washington in the 184th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Drake Nugent in slot 198 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the 241st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
