Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Stowers: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Eli Stowers at Round 3, Pick 23 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

With edge rusher and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Singleton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel Pregnon in Round 2, Pick 11. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in pick 60 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
They took Zachariah Branch at par in the 63rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They talked themselves into Nicholas Singleton at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in slot 87 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A tidy little value on Devin Moore in pick No. 90, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 91 on Tacario Davis with edge rusher and linebacker unsolved.
Pick95 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
No drama and no debate, Michael Trigg went about where he belonged in the 95th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Justin Joly
By-the-book stuff, Justin Joly at the 111th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in Round 4, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaiah World
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah World. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in pick No. 149; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick158 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Drew Allar at pick 158 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ted Hurst at slot 189. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris slid further than he should have, and No. 227 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
