The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tyler Owens at the 184th pick regardless, 44 picks early.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. The SirVocea Dennis deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 17
In No. 21 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
They paid sticker price for Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 132
They took Ben Sinnott at par in the 125th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 168
Javion Cohen at Round 5, Pick 22 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 228
Tyler Owens at slot 184 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 204
Eric Watts in pick No. 198 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · Tayvion Robinson · WR · rank 234
A clean, defensible pick in slot 241 with a little surplus value in Tayvion Robinson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
