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

You could see the war room lean forward. Eli Stowers at the 94th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The Taylor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Chris Brazzell II and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 30th pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
They liked Gabe Jacas enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 52. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at slot 63 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board fumbled Emmanuel McNeil-Warren all the way to No. 75, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 20 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devin Moore. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Eli Stowers in pick 94, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover slid further than he should have, and the 151st overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Taking Jeff Caldwell in No. 201 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
A conviction pick on Charles Demmings at Round 7, Pick 2 that the board grades a round light. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick227 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They talked themselves into Logan Taylor at pick 227, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at slot 238 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
