Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesD
FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-. The Dolphins clearly saw something nobody else did in Eric Gentry, taking him 151 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
The Stowers steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick52
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in the 52nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
Keionte Scott
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keionte Scott. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick70
Rnd3
Christen Miller
A slide stopped in pick No. 70, with Christen Miller worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard is a better player than the 74th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Markel Bell
Markel Bell at Round 3, Pick 11 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
They talked themselves into Michael Trigg at pick 77, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in No. 90 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
They read the board right and Mike Washington Jr. was the payoff at the 91st overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne in pick 94 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120
Rnd4
Treydan Stukes
They robbed the room for Treydan Stukes here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick128
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at Round 4, Pick 28 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Steal is underselling it; Bud Clark at pick No. 130 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in slot 147 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151
Rnd5
Taylen Green
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taylen Green in the 151st pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
A quiet steal in slot 165: Marlin Klein for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
They reached a country mile for Jeff Caldwell at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189
Rnd6
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They barely believed it either: Ar'maj Reed-Adams still on the board at pick 189. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick201
Rnd6
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 6, Pick 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at pick No. 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They reached into another round for Bryce Foster, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
A real head-scratcher, Trey Zuhn III in the 223rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nolan Rucci well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joshua Braun this early at No. 227. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229
Rnd7
Enrique Cruz Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Enrique Cruz Jr.. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236
Rnd7
Zach Rice
Value said wait; Zach Rice in pick No. 236 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248
Rnd7
Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the 248th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
