Larceny in the 226th pick lands the Dolphins a B, Thornton Jr. and all. Somebody in the 226th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Dont'e Thornton Jr., the No. 185 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Booker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In the 25th pick they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at No. 48 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in the 98th overall pick, where Donovan Jackson graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Value with a capital V on Savion Williams in slot 115, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe is a better player than pick 116 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
Nice patience on O'Donnell Fortune, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 34. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
The board fumbled Jeffrey Bassa all the way to pick No. 151, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156
Rnd5
Joshua Farmer
They barely believed it either: Joshua Farmer still on the board at No. 156. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 7, Pick 8 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trey Zuhn III reach pick No. 233 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in the 252nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
