Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B weekend for the Dolphins.

You could see the war room lean forward. Wyatt Milum at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 13th pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 48 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Armand Membou
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Armand Membou in pick No. 98, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 135 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
Circle this one: Elijah Arroyo at the 144th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
You do not let an edge rusher like Jordan Burch reach the 151st overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Restrepo at Round 7, Pick 15 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to slot 252, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
