Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody else had Taylen Green anywhere near the 94th pick. The Dolphins did, by 91 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Stowers at that price is a win they earned. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 11th overall pick they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the 43rd pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at Round 2, Pick 16 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in No. 77, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick No. 79 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
They talked themselves into Michael Trigg at slot 87, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at slot 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Taylen Green
They reached into another round for Taylen Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nadame Tucker well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore in pick No. 151 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in No. 155 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: J'Mari Taylor in pick 165, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
Nick Barrett at the 218th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Deven Eastern
They left a pile of value on the table to take Deven Eastern this early at pick 227. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at the 238th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
