Nobody else had Keaton Bills anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Dolphins did, by 42 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 21st overall pick they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Kingsley Suamataia in the 55th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Layden Robinson at No. 158 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
They talked themselves into Drake Nugent at slot 184, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keaton Bills well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A safety of that caliber at pick 241 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
