Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Stowers: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Eli Stowers got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at the 94th pick.

If Lance pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback and edge rusher went begging.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 11 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, even if it was a touch early.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing D'Angelo Ponds in Round 2, Pick 25. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick60 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Omar Cooper Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A curious use of the 80th pick. Quarterback and edge rusher needed the pick; a safety in A.J. Haulcy did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at No. 87 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at slot 91 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Eli Stowers in pick No. 94, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They jumped the gun on DeMonte Capehart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Joe Royer
A quiet steal in the 130th pick: Joe Royer for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A real head-scratcher, Kaleb Elarms-Orr in No. 151 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
They paid sticker price for Kaleb Proctor in pick 165, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
The board had Thaddeus Dixon higher than the 227th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They liked Trey Zuhn III enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 238. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
Jamal Haynes at pick No. 253 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
