The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Eli Stowers slide 22 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Every board in the league had Eastern lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The back end got a real overhaul.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Mansoor Delane · CB · rank 8
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Denzel Boston · WR · rank 30
No edge and no loss on Denzel Boston in pick No. 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at slot 43 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 53
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at Round 3, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
Nice patience on Jacob Rodriguez, who had no business lasting to the 87th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Connor Lew · C · rank 82
Connor Lew slid further than he should have, and No. 90 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Isaiah World · OT · rank 146
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah World a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
R5.22 · Pick 162 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 157
Good price on Drew Allar in pick 162, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.30 · Pick 170 · Kevin Coleman Jr. · WR · rank 163
Kevin Coleman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 30 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Thaddeus Dixon · CB · rank 220
Thaddeus Dixon in pick No. 227 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · TJ Hall · CB · rank 222
A quiet steal in slot 238: TJ Hall for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.41 · Pick 257 · Deven Eastern · DL · rank 279
Deven Eastern at No. 257 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
