Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Stowers. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 4, Pick 11 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Eli Stowers, the No. 56 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In No. 11 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Rueben Bain Jr.
The board fumbled Rueben Bain Jr. all the way to the 43rd pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A top-tier safety at a bargain, A.J. Haulcy in slot 75, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in the 87th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
They barely believed it either: Antonio Williams still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at pick No. 111 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick 149 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at Round 7, Pick 11 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
