Miami Dolphins: 4 late-round picks ready for immediate impact
By Scott Gorman
Undrafted Free Agent Addition (Waivers): Trill Williams, DB, Syracuse
After the team selected Hunter Long in the third round (Pick 18), the options were limited for late-round impact players. The team only had two picks on the third day (Coleman and Doaks), which made this exercise a bit trickier. However, it appears the Miami Dolphins may have lucked out and claimed a few impactful undrafted free agent players. The first of those notable free agents is Syracuse hybrid defensive back, Trill Williams.
Williams possesses some attractive qualities to be an effective player at the next level. Based on those abilities and his potential upside, the big defensive back should have been drafted and could be a steal long-term for this Miami squad. He’s a big cornerback with the physicality and length to challenge bigger receivers and tight ends.
He also has fluid hips, terrific short-area quickness, and solid reaction time. Williams reads receivers well in and out of their breaks and does an exceptional job jarring pass-catchers off their routes. This skillset ensures Williams a roster spot and immediate time as a slot corner or rotational third/fourth safety off the bench. After being claimed as a waiver addition from the Saints, Miami may have a solid in-house replacement for the departed Bobby McCain.
