Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The Dolphins spent the pick that matters most on Shedeur Sanders, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Webb reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Castro pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get their quarterback of the future. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Mbow at the 48th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at slot 98 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in No. 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A reach for Pat Bryant in pick 135; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Value with a capital V on LeQuint Allen in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 155th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at pick No. 224 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick253 Rnd7 Alijah Clark
A premium they did not need to pay, Alijah Clark a notch or two before his time. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
