Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Stowers from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Eli Stowers sat on the board until the Round 3 slot, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Ioane to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 11, where Dillon Thieneman graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at slot 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at the 87th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach the 90th pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Treydan Stukes in No. 111. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick151 Rnd5 Albert Regis
A premium they did not need to pay, Albert Regis a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A slide stopped in the 238th pick, with Zavion Thomas worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
