The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Nolen: A-. You build a draft on nights like this. Walter Nolen had no business being available in slot 51, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
With quarterback and edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 30 they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach the 48th overall pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in No. 51 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 62 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 98th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Lathan Ransom in pick 116 leaves quarterback and edge rusher for later.
Pick135
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
The board had Nohl Williams higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore is a better player than Round 5, Pick 12 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Logan Brown
They read the board right and Logan Brown was the payoff at pick No. 155. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Donovan Edwards in Round 7, Pick 8, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Jackson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. at the 253rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
