Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Stowers fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Eli Stowers, the No. 63 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 3, Pick 23. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, running back and other spots went begging.

The Klubnik reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
They jumped the gun on Gennings Dunker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Thieneman at slot 43 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik in No. 75 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at pick No. 87 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Fair-plus on Darrell Jackson Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Genesis Smith while clear needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick149 Rnd5 Albert Regis
No drama and no debate, Albert Regis went about where he belonged in the 149th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 227 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
