Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Williams: B-.

When a board-topper like Isaiah Williams slides to No. 243, 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.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 22 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Dorlus. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at No. 159 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi in pick 200 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at slot 243 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
