A costly weekend of dealing drags the Dolphins to a B-. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 22. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
Stowers falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in pick 45 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick47
Rnd2
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at the 47th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Value with a capital V on Keionte Scott in pick No. 75, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach slot 90 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Mike Washington Jr. in the 94th overall pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Circle this one: Germie Bernard at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 116th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118
Rnd4
Treydan Stukes
They robbed the room for Treydan Stukes here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick126
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
They read the board right and Michael Trigg was the payoff at pick No. 126. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Joe Royer
A tidy little value on Joe Royer in pick 130, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the 151st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152
Rnd5
Drew Allar
They paid sticker price for Drew Allar in slot 152, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd5
Demond Claiborne
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Demond Claiborne graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182
Rnd6
Taylen Green
A straight-up fair deal on Taylen Green at Round 6, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bryce Foster. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaiah Jatta well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227
Rnd7
Caleb Douglas
A big swing on Caleb Douglas at pick No. 227, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun at pick 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in No. 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at Round 7, Pick 30 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.
Pick254
Rnd7
Enrique Cruz Jr.
Enrique Cruz Jr. in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256
Rnd7
Micah Morris
They reached into another round for Micah Morris, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in No. 257 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
