Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

Nobody else had Keaton Bills anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Dolphins did, by 42 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 21st overall pick they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 55th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at No. 158 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They talked themselves into Drake Nugent at slot 184, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keaton Bills well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A safety of that caliber at pick 241 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
