When a board-topper like Isaiah Williams slides to No. 243, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 22 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Dorlus. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
McCallan Castles at No. 159 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Aki Ogunbiyi in pick 200 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Isaiah Williams at slot 243 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
