Miami Dolphins

More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Eric Gentry at the 227th overall pick, a reach of 125 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Scott pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 11
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 89
Ted Hurst at No. 47 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 96
Bryce Lance at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 56
Eli Stowers at slot 75 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Michael Trigg · TE · rank 117
A real head-scratcher, Michael Trigg in the 90th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 64
They barely believed it either: Keionte Scott still on the board at pick No. 94. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Sam Roush · TE · rank 94
No drama and no debate, Sam Roush went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 112
Nicholas Singleton is a better player than Round 4, Pick 23 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Demond Claiborne · RB · rank 163
Value said wait; Demond Claiborne in pick 130 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.14 · Pick 154 · Travis Burke · OT · rank 172
A big swing on Travis Burke at pick No. 154, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.7 · Pick 188 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 192
By-the-book stuff, Jeff Caldwell at slot 188 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.23 · Pick 204 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 191
Value with a capital V on Ephesians Prysock in the 204th overall pick, a genuine coup. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.2 · Pick 218 · Eli Heidenreich · WR · rank 241
They reached into another round for Eli Heidenreich, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 352
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at the 227th pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Adam Randall · RB · rank 276
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Adam Randall well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
