Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent the 149th overall pick on Gunner Stockton, a name the board had a full 69 spots lower.

The Bowen pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman still on the board. On value alone, Cole makes the weekend a net positive.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Cole
Chris Cole is a better player than pick 43 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
The board had Greg Johnson higher than the Round 3 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Peyton Bowen
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman to take Peyton Bowen, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick90 Rnd3 LJ Martin
A big swing on LJ Martin at pick No. 90, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Luke Reynolds
Luke Reynolds at No. 111 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
They talked themselves into Gunner Stockton at slot 149, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
A wild overpay on Evan Stewart in No. 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
