Grand theft in pick 231: the Dolphins steal Simon and grade out a B.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cody Simon, the No. 127 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 13th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A want over a need in the 99th pick: Andrew Mukuba adds a safety while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick115 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luke Kandra in pick 115. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 149 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Somehow Mason Taylor was still sitting there in pick No. 156, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonah Monheim at slot 224. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at the 231st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
You do not let a running back like Damien Martinez reach slot 251 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
