When a board-topper like Johnny Wilson slides to pick 198, 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.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 21 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Jordan Morgan at the 57th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
McKinnley Jackson at the 125th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
You do not let a safety like James Williams reach pick No. 158 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They will replay Josh Newton at slot 184 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They barely believed it either: Johnny Wilson still on the board at No. 198. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Jordan Magee at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
