It wasn’t the guy I expected us to draft, but it was the position I wanted without question. The O-line is a joke, we have 2 players on that line that are solid in LT Patrick Paul and C Aaron Brewer. That’s it! Jon-Eric Sullivan’s first move in the 2026 NFL Draft was trading back from #11 to #12, one spot with the Dallas Cowboys. We acquired two 5th RD picks, #177 and #180 to move back one spot, and break the hearts of quite a few fans here who wanted S Caleb Downs. One guy who probably was thrilled with the pick was RB De’Von Achane, and another guy was certainly QB Malik Willis. I’m looking forward to having these massive bookends on our O-line, it’s been way too long since this O-line was a strength, and not coincidentally, way too long since this team was a legit contender. Patrick Paul at 6’7 326 and Kadyn Proctor 6’7 352.
Jon-Eric Sullivan’s next trade in the draft was a trade up, as the Dolphins moved from RD1 Pick #30 to Pick #27 by trading Pick #30 and Pick #90 (RD 3) for the #27 Pick and and a 4th RD pick #138. The Dolphins at #27 selected San Diego St. Cornerback Chris Johnson. The 6’0 193lb CB will undoubtedly be pushed to start at the very important CB position. I had hoped we never traded up in this draft, I want more picks, but we really didn’t lose any picks, we just moved back from RD 3 to RD 4. Listen, it’s way too early to judge picks, but I would say the majority of us figured we’d go O-line and CB, and that’s precisely what we did. If/when S Caleb Downs is a perennial All Pro, and Kadyn Proctor is 6’7 380 and the fattest turnstile in Dolphins history, go ahead, pound your chest because you were right. On the other hand, if OT Kadyn Proctor is a motivated player here, and is mauling defenders at the LOS and downfield with regularity and provides solid protection for our QB, I won’t have a care in the world what Caleb Downs is doing.
Day 2 coming up tonight at 7:30 will have the Dolphins waiting 11 spots at Pick #43 and then we’ll have three selections in RD 3, #75, 87 and 94. I won’t be shocked (or disappointed) if we tap a guy for the O-line again in RD 3. LT Patrick Paul, LG Jonah Savaiinaea, C Aaron Brewer, RG Kadyn Proctor, RT Austin Jackson (if healthy). 2 gaping holes bigger than the space between Michael Strahan’s two front teeth that needed to be filled. I personally do not want to hand Big Jonah that job, and I also didn’t want to see OG Jamaree Salyer start at RG. I’m aware we could have selected an OG later and we still might do that. How many times have we been failed by the O-line? How many times have we had to watch an injury torpedo the success of that unit? Two injuries? If not injuries, just out and out subpar play? It’s been a nightmare, and we took one step in attempting to fix that. You all saw the run on the O-line, it was real, and it will probably continue.
I think we’ll probably grab a WR and possibly a TE as well, but where, who knows? I’m curious to see if we move back again in RD 2, that wouldn’t surprise me. We definitely need EDGE help so RD 2 would be a good place to grab one. Players still available at the EDGE position are Zion Young, Cashius Howell, T.J. Parker, Gabe Jacas, Derrick Moore and R. Mason Thomas. We’ll see if we nab one of those guys in RD 2, and then maybe find a WR and another O-lineman. I know some of you love Penn St. EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton. Maybe we take him. Maybe he would help you guys recover from us not taking Caleb Downs. I know you guys liked him, I respect that, but how did he all of a sudden become a Hall of Famer? I’ll wait for your responses later!
What do you guys think we do in RD 2? Move up? Move back? What position do we target in RD 2? Then what do you think we do in RD 3? Let me know, I want to hear . . .
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
we’re draft tanking for the #1 pick in 2027
I was going to say that no one has shown Arch Manning more dedication than Sully this draft.
this women looks like she’d rather be anywhere else
Fuck!
I’m not sure I want to watch day 3 at this point.
I dig this draft. Taking players at positions we’ve all talked about all offseason. Good mix throughout the roster.
Clark
That’s why we love you Tim
good thing we traded out of 90, we aren’t using it
next pick will be a LS
I’m going to say it now: NO, it’s not about Sully didn’t draft my or your favorite player. Rather, WTF is he doing?
I suppose(?) he’s trying to build a foundation that isn’t so good to win games next year… in order to get the highest possible 2027 Draft pick?
I dunno… it isn’t correlating to me in the here and now.
Did we trade?
There goes Jaishawn Barham to the Cowbells.
NOOOOO!!! My man-crush Keagan Trost to the Rams!!!
This draft reminds me of an incident that happened to me Wednesday night.
I was tuning my push mower in the garage. I had to walk out to my shed in the dark corner of the backyard to get some engine oil. I didn’t turn the floodlight on as I knew right where it was. Got to the shed, got the oil. No problem got though it. That’s day 1 of the draft.
When leaving the shed walking back I stepped in a heaping pile of fresh steaming dog shit in my flip flops. I’ve got some BIG dogs. It gushed all between my toes. That’s day 2 of the draft.
At least you didn’t choose to step in the dog shit lol
I believe that PERFECTLY describes our day 2 of the Draft!
Commercial!!!
Damn pole smokers
commercial, now we know why they scheduled one right before all of our picks, they’re hoping they can be hidden
Sorry guys I enjoy the draft and evaluate it in a few years. I’ve read good things about every one of our picks. They all have the skills they were drafted for.
Taylen Green QB is my guess
Jacob Rodriguez looks like a thumb with a porn mustache
His wife can launch a sidewinder at you from miles away.
We chose… Chris Bell!!! Not bad, but for his injuries.
that’s a risk worth taking in the 3rd round
I just can’t believe it. I don’t know how many times I have taken RB Kaelon Black in recent mocks at pick #90. Where does he go? Pick #90 that we traded to the 49er’s. SMH
okay. Okay. Thanks for that pick. Wow this draft has been something
finally back to sanity
Ross came down and made the pick
my favorite picks are Chris Johnson and Chris Bell
some of the other ones have me about to lose it
