The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: D-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Adam Randall at the Round 5 slot, roughly 100 spots before his name belonged. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. That Stowers pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love slid further than he should have, and No. 11 is lovely value for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In pick 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the 43rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Chase Bisontis in pick No. 71, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 11 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at the 90th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94
Rnd3
Isaiah World
A big swing on Isaiah World at the 94th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112
Rnd4
Travis Burke
A real head-scratcher, Travis Burke in pick 112 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Kobi Lane reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at No. 147 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151
Rnd5
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at slot 151 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jeff Caldwell well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180
Rnd5
Adam Randall
Adam Randall at pick No. 180 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227
Rnd7
Enrique Cruz Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Enrique Cruz Jr.. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jaren Kanak
They did well to land Jaren Kanak in Round 7, Pick 22, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
