Liufau should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Marist Liufau got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at the 198th pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the All reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
The Mike Evans pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Kingsley Suamataia in No. 55 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nelson Ceaser. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Erick All well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Marist Liufau in pick No. 198, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A tidy little value on Donovan Jennings in Round 7, Pick 21, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
