Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Dolphins grade out a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Addison West at the 98th pick is 96 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. The Lachey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 13 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Addison West
Addison West at the 98th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A conviction pick on Darius Alexander at No. 115 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in slot 135 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Taking Jacob Parrish in pick 151 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in slot 156 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at the 226th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach Round 7, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Alijah Clark
No edge and no loss on Alijah Clark in No. 252; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
