The real work happened on the phones. The Dolphins fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.
That Robinson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
In No. 22 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
They barely believed it either: Darius Robinson still on the board at pick No. 55. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 57 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They went early on James Williams in the 158th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A reach for Grayson Murphy in slot 184; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Taylor at pick 241. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
