The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Keaton Bills, 42 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 21 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. A need, and now a little less of one.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Layden Robinson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Keaton Bills at the 198th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They took Josh Proctor at par in pick No. 241, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
