Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B.

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Eric Gentry, 97 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Stowers pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 11th overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In the 31st pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A clean, defensible pick in No. 47 with a little surplus value in Caleb Banks. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
A tidy bit of business in slot 75, where Zachariah Branch graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Somehow Keionte Scott was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in pick No. 92 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 94 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Raridon. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
By-the-book stuff, Zxavian Harris at the 151st pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
They took Jeff Caldwell at par in pick 180, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock is a better player than the 198th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder in slot 218 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in No. 227 is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick231 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
No drama and no debate, Eli Heidenreich went about where he belonged in No. 231. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Jatta in the 234th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in pick 235 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They liked Nolan Rucci enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 238. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They reached a country mile for Logan Taylor at Round 7, Pick 23, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Adam Randall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Adam Randall. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Foster at pick No. 244, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Marvin Jones Jr. in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in the 256th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at No. 257 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
