Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
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 Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 21 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
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.
Pick158 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in No. 158 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 184th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Daijun Edwards at pick No. 198. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Circle this one: JD Bertrand at Round 7, Pick 21 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
