The Dolphins torched the value chart for Noah Thomas, taking him 119 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stowers. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Kadyn Proctor · OT · rank 14
In slot 11 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
In the 30th pick they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Markel Bell · OT · rank 112
Markel Bell in pick No. 43 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at No. 77 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 143
Value said wait; Dametrious Crownover in the 87th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Isaiah World · OT · rank 145
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah World in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 53
Eli Stowers in pick 94 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Sam Roush · TE · rank 93
Sam Roush at pick No. 130 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
R5.11 · Pick 151 · Zxavian Harris · DT · rank 154
Zxavian Harris at No. 151 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.12 · Pick 152 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 156
They paid sticker price for Drew Allar in slot 152, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.15 · Pick 155 · Taylen Green · QB · rank 185
Taylen Green at Round 5, Pick 15 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.11 · Pick 227 · Logan Taylor · OG · rank 258
Logan Taylor at the 227th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Noah Thomas · WR · rank 357
Noah Thomas at the 238th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
