Fins1981 DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins

Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesC+
FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B to prove it. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Eric Gentry at the 227th overall pick, a reach of 125 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The Scott pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot.
Pick47
Rnd2
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at No. 47 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at slot 75 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
A real head-scratcher, Michael Trigg in the 90th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
They barely believed it either: Keionte Scott still on the board at pick No. 94. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96
Rnd3
Sam Roush
No drama and no debate, Sam Roush went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton is a better player than Round 4, Pick 23 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130
Rnd4
Demond Claiborne
Value said wait; Demond Claiborne in pick 130 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Travis Burke
A big swing on Travis Burke at pick No. 154, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
By-the-book stuff, Jeff Caldwell at slot 188 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
Value with a capital V on Ephesians Prysock in the 204th overall pick, a genuine coup. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick218
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
They reached into another round for Eli Heidenreich, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at the 227th pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238
Rnd7
Adam Randall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Adam Randall well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
