Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureA+
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Kalil Alexander at No. 227, roughly 68 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stowers. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at the 11th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick30 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
A big swing on Elijah Sarratt at slot 43, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
They liked Skyler Bell enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 11. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at pick 90 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalon Kilgore at cornerback with quarterback, running back and other spots open.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at the 130th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World in pick 151 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kalil Alexander in slot 227, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Deven Eastern
Deven Eastern in Round 7, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
