S
Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Eric Gentry. He came off 125 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That Stowers pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that.
Pick30 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
Nice patience on Olaivavega Ioane, who had no business lasting to the 30th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 45th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott is a better player than slot 75 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 87 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in Round 3, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in pick 94 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Trigg in No. 130. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 227th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shamar Easter in slot 238, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
