Nobody had Phillip Webb this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 109 spots to get him at Round 6, Pick 12. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
However the rest shakes out, Burnip at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 14th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 16. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Malachi Moore at pick No. 98 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
They read the board right and Mason Taylor was the payoff at pick 114. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Darius Alexander slipping to slot 133 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Taking Danny Stutsman in the 149th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the 154th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Phillip Webb in slot 187 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Seth McLaughlin at pick 224 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
James Burnip in pick No. 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 16 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Graham Mertz in the 252nd overall pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
