The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Dolphins torched the value chart for Noah Thomas, taking him 119 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stowers. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In slot 11 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In the 30th pick they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Markel Bell
Markel Bell in pick No. 43 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at No. 77 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
Value said wait; Dametrious Crownover in the 87th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92
Rnd3
Isaiah World
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah World in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in pick 94 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Sam Roush
Sam Roush at pick No. 130 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at No. 151 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Drew Allar
They paid sticker price for Drew Allar in slot 152, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 5, Pick 15 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor at the 227th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238
Rnd7
Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at the 238th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
