Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jeff Caldwell, 53 picks early at pick 169.

However the rest shakes out, Stowers at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In pick 12 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They paid up for Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 43 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to slot 75, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nicholas Singleton. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick96 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sam Hecht at Round 3, Pick 32 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at the 111th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Nothing to complain about; Eli Raridon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Good price on Drew Allar in slot 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Value said wait; Taylen Green in pick No. 150 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the 169th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
