Somebody took the Dolphins to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Hit on T.J. Tampa and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 38
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in pick 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
Nothing to complain about; Patrick Paul went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 65
Payton Wilson in slot 67 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 70
Brandon Dorlus at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 73
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 78
Value with a capital V on Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 27, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 95
Tyler Davis in pick No. 101 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cole Bishop at the Round 5 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 139
Cam Hart is a better player than pick 155 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 183
Fair-plus on Jaylan Ford, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.24 · Pick 199 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 186
A tidy bit of business in the 199th overall pick, where Javon Baker graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 216
Circle this one: Miyan Williams at No. 239 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
