Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Milroe headlines a C+ weekend for the Dolphins.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Clayton Smith at pick No. 231 is 167 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Whatever Jalen Milroe becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Carter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

If Jalen Milroe and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In slot 13 they get a franchise quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 48th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Fair-plus on Jake Majors, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at the 115th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Value said wait; Zane Durant in pick 149 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Addison West
A big swing on Addison West at Round 5, Pick 19, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Aydan White
A wild overpay on Aydan White in the 224th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick231 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clayton Smith this early at pick 231. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 251st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
