Larceny in slot 94 lands the Dolphins a A-, Stowers and all. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Eli Stowers, the No. 53 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 94. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Dolphins paired the rookies with proven help, Kyler Murray leading the way.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick62
Rnd2
CJ Allen
CJ Allen at the 62nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They will replay Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick No. 75 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Circle this one: Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 13 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
They barely believed it either: Keionte Scott still on the board at the 90th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach slot 94 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in pick 116 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163
Rnd5
Charles Demmings
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 163 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick187
Rnd6
Marlin Klein
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Marlin Klein for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
They let Ephesians Prysock come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 16. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jimmy Rolder
They paid sticker price for Jimmy Rolder in pick No. 209, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227
Rnd7
Xavier Nwankpa
They took Xavier Nwankpa at par in pick 227, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
No edge and no loss on Eli Heidenreich in the 229th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Jatta at slot 231 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
No drama and no debate, Trey Zuhn III went about where he belonged in the 238th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in No. 256 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
