Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Kalil Alexander at slot 227, a reach of 60 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They banked enough surplus on Stowers to cover a lot of smaller sins. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 11 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at the 43rd pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elijah Sarratt. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at pick No. 87 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in Round 3, Pick 28 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick 118 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They read the board right and Michael Trigg was the payoff at pick No. 125. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
They talked themselves into Nadame Tucker at the 131st pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings at the 151st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick168 Rnd5 Louis Moore
No edge and no loss on Louis Moore in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd5 Cole Payton
A real head-scratcher, Cole Payton in slot 180 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 J'Mari Taylor
No drama and no debate, J'Mari Taylor went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 8. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
A quiet steal in No. 199: Josh Cameron for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
They reached into another round for Nick Barrett, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
They took Keyshaun Elliott at par in slot 220, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at the 227th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall in pick No. 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
