Larceny in slot 43 lands the Dolphins a B-, Stone and all.

The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: David Stone, the No. 9 name on the board, sitting there at the 43rd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

If Green pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Cam Coleman
In No. 11 they get a difference-maker at receiver, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 David Stone
They barely believed it either: David Stone still on the board at the 43rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Will Heldt
They paid up for Will Heldt at pick No. 75 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
They went early on Terrance Carter Jr. in pick 87, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 LJ Martin
A reach on LJ Martin in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Sam Leavitt
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 11 with a little surplus value in Sam Leavitt. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Blake Frazier
They took Blake Frazier at par in the 155th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Donovan Jones
Donovan Jones at slot 212 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick227 Rnd7 Stephiylan Green
Stephiylan Green at the 227th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
