The Dolphins drew a line under the quarterback search with Simpson: B-. The Dolphins spent the pick that matters most on Ty Simpson, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Golday. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The cost of the Miller reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Ty Simpson
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Blake Miller
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
The board had Chris Johnson higher than pick 43, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at No. 75 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Steal is underselling it; Germie Bernard at pick No. 87 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Golday
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 90th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94
Rnd3
Connor Lew
A quiet steal in slot 94: Connor Lew for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Michael Trigg at the 130th pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151
Rnd5
Chris McClellan
They read the board right and Chris McClellan was the payoff at the 151st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jeremiah Wright
They took Jeremiah Wright at par in pick No. 227, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238
Rnd7
Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington in slot 238 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
