You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Micah Morris in the Round 7 slot.

They banked enough surplus on Stowers to cover a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Jeremiyah Love · RB · rank 2
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 43rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Chase Bisontis · OG · rank 70
Chase Bisontis at slot 75 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
Jake Slaughter in the 91st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.29 · Pick 93 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 53
Eli Stowers in pick 93 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Devin Moore · CB · rank 90
Fair-plus on Devin Moore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Michael Trigg · TE · rank 115
Value with a capital V on Michael Trigg in pick 130, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 143
They read the board right and Dametrious Crownover was the payoff at the 151st overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.25 · Pick 165 · Demond Claiborne · RB · rank 161
Demond Claiborne at the 165th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.2 · Pick 218 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 186
Jeff Caldwell at Round 7, Pick 2 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.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Logan Taylor · OG · rank 258
A big swing on Logan Taylor at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Joshua Braun · OG · rank 283
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Braun. The roster fit checks out.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Nolan Rucci · OT · rank 250
They paid up for Nolan Rucci at pick No. 239 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Micah Morris · OG · rank 324
Micah Morris at No. 241 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
