The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Stowers: A-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Eli Stowers, pick 89, roughly 36 picks past where he belonged.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Allar reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
The Dolphins paired the rookies with proven help, Antoine Winfield Jr. leading the way.
Bottom line, with Omar Cooper Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Omar Cooper Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel Pregnon in the 47th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Value with a capital V on Caleb Banks in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick No. 80 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach the 89th overall pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Max Klare
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Klare at slot 90. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Jake Golday at pick 94 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Kobi Lane at No. 113 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
No drama and no debate, Mike Washington Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
They paid sticker price for Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 129, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Drew Allar
A real head-scratcher, Drew Allar in No. 130 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147
Rnd5
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover slipping to slot 147 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151
Rnd5
Isaiah World
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 151, where Isaiah World graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155
Rnd5
Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings is a better player than Round 5, Pick 15 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in the 157th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
A slide stopped in the 197th pick, with Ephesians Prysock worth more than the price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick205
Rnd6
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the 205th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
A conviction pick on Xavier Nwankpa at pick 214 that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick227
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
They paid a round early for Isaiah Jatta in Round 7, Pick 11, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Owen Heinecke
Owen Heinecke at the 231st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick238
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 238 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
A reach on Nolan Rucci in pick No. 239; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
A reach for Logan Taylor in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Adam Randall
They reached into another round for Adam Randall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
