More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Eli Stowers, the No. 53 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 75th pick.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Rucci lower, and that gap is the story.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Brazzell II. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at No. 43 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
A tight end of that caliber at slot 75 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87
Rnd3
Sam Roush
They took Sam Roush at par in pick No. 87, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ted Hurst in the 92nd overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Isaiah World
They jumped the gun on Isaiah World, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
A reach for Jalen Farmer in the 151st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
They reached a country mile for Logan Taylor at No. 238, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
