Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a B for the Dolphins.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Dolphins committed. Shedeur Sanders is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Conner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That Leonard pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 13 they get their quarterback of the future. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Good price on Darius Alexander in the 98th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
The board had Xavier Restrepo higher than No. 116, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish slipping to pick 135 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They let Brashard Smith come to them and pounced at slot 150. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at the 155th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at Round 7, Pick 8, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at the 231st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
A conviction pick on Brandon Adams at pick 253 that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
