Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. Rondell Bothroyd went at the 243rd pick, a good 70 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barton. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In the 22nd pick they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They robbed the room for Graham Barton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Somehow Kamal Hadden was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick200 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 200th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Rondell Bothroyd. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
