Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Williams fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Savion Williams, the No. 91 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 116. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Briningstool reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 13th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at the 48th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Zy Alexander at pick 98 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 116 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kobe King
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Kobe King worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kurtis Rourke in pick No. 150. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A premium they did not need to pay, Jake Briningstool a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to No. 224, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They took Jabbar Muhammad at par in No. 231, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A straight-up fair deal on Ty Hamilton at pick 253, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
