Miami Dolphins

Cowing should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jacob Cowing fell into slot 184. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
In pick 21 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 58
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 163
Walter Rouse in No. 158 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Jacob Cowing · WR · rank 147
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 184th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 186
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Daijun Edwards at pick No. 198. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
Circle this one: JD Bertrand at Round 7, Pick 21 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
