Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent the 241st overall pick on Eric Gentry, a name most had 111 spots down the list. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Stowers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They did well to land Caleb Banks in Round 2, Pick 14, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
By-the-book stuff, Gabe Jacas at slot 49 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Nice patience on Keionte Scott, who had no business lasting to pick 75. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at pick No. 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
A slide stopped in No. 91, with Mike Washington Jr. worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 93rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Value said wait; Michael Trigg in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick 130 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
No drama and no debate, Zxavian Harris went about where he belonged in No. 151. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
They took Demond Claiborne at par in Round 5, Pick 23, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick No. 168 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Taylen Green at slot 196 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 207th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick227 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Jatta a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A reach on Bryce Foster in the 238th pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 25 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
