Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins robbed the room for Stowers. Final grade: A-.

When a board-topper like Eli Stowers slides to pick 87, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Every board in the league had Cooper lower, and that gap is the story.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Somehow CJ Allen was still sitting there in pick No. 59, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to pick 83, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Devin Moore at Round 3, Pick 31. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Justin Joly
They paid sticker price for Justin Joly in the 106th overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Lance. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A reach on Eli Raridon in No. 115; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth at the 120th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
They liked Mike Washington Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 126. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaiah World
They took Isaiah World at par in slot 131, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at No. 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick154 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They let DeMonte Capehart come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 16. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They went early on Taylen Green in the 173rd pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in pick No. 194 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
No drama and no debate, Zxavian Harris went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the 227th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in No. 235 is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at the 249th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at Round 7, Pick 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
By-the-book stuff, Nolan Rucci at pick 253 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper at the 254th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
