The Miami Dolphins' 2024 draft is done.  The Dolphins managed to add seven players across seven rounds to bolster their roster going into the 2024 season. 

From offensive line to edge rusher to running back and everything in between, the Dolphins beefed up some areas in their roster that they needed to – as well as perhaps some that they didn't immediately need to either at the expense of other pressing needs. 

Here are three overreactions from the happenings in Detroit over the last three days. 

1) The Dolphins simply didn't do enough to fix their offensive line. 

Call it what you will, but the Dolphins whiffed on their biggest area of need in the 2024 draft.  Yes, they managed to pick up Houston offensive tackle Patrick Paul, but Paul really shouldn't be on the field in 2024 provided their two starters stay healthy – a prospect that admittedly has been an issue with this roster over the last two years.  

Paul is a developmental project at tackle, and he'll get that time to do just that: develop into a quality starter.  But that doesn't help in 2024, and the clock could be ticking on Miami's chances to win with Tyreek Hill on the roster.  This is a team, simply put, that's built to win now, and there wasn't enough done to address their biggest immediate roster shortcoming. 

2) The Dolphins paid a substantial premium for a massive luxury pick (but for perhaps one of the best value pickups of the draft). 

I don't love the move to go get Jaylen Wright, but I do very much like the player and where the Dolphins got him in relation to his ability.  I thought he could have been the first or second running back taken.  A to Z Sports' James Foster had him as the 71st best overall player and second best back.  Good value there for who should be a very good player. 

I just think paying a third-round pick for a running back to add to a room that has two very good ones in Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane is icing on a cake that isn't close to baked yet.  That's a move that makes sense if you're the Kansas City Chiefs or San Francisco 49ers.  Both have good foundations, are maulers on both sides of the ball, and have good depth.  The Dolphins do not have those things, and this is not the kind of move that's going to get them there. 

3) Miami is recklessly kicking the can down the road on the back end of its defense. 

No picks in the secondary before #198?  With the issues the team has had with injuries and attrition in the back?  That's a very risky proposition for the Dolphins.  Jordan Poyer is on a one-year contract and likely on the back side of his career.  Jevon Holland hasn't been signed to a long-term extension.  There isn't much behind starters Kendall Fuller and Jalen Ramsey on the outside, as Cam Smith was a whole bunch of nada last year.  

Patrick McMorris in the sixth round gives them SOMEONE, but a potential starter or high-quality reserve was not had when they were available in earlier rounds (this goes back to beef/overreaction #2).
