The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Marvin Jones Jr.. He came off 128 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
That Stowers pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In pick 11 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick43
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
A wild overpay on Gabe Jacas in slot 43, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
They read the board right and Keionte Scott was the payoff at No. 75. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the 87th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the 94th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118
Rnd4
Isaiah World
They reached a country mile for Isaiah World at pick No. 118, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jalen Farmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Farmer. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Raridon. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
No drama and no debate, Zxavian Harris went about where he belonged in No. 147. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Drew Allar
By-the-book stuff, Drew Allar at the 151st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Marvin Jones Jr.
They talked themselves into Marvin Jones Jr. at Round 6, Pick 28, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222
Rnd7
Lander Barton
They paid sticker price for Lander Barton in pick 222, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
A straight-up fair deal on Eli Heidenreich at the 227th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238
Rnd7
Adam Randall
Adam Randall at the 238th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246
Rnd7
Noah Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Noah Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at No. 247 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
