What they're saying about Dolphins picks Kadyn Proctor, Chris Johnson

The Miami Dolphins selected Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor and San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson with their two first-round picks in the NFL draft on April 23. They traded down one spot before selecting Proctor and traded up three spots to grab Johnson. Draft reaction is always dubious in the hours after the selections so it's usually best to take anything said or written with a grain of NFL smelling salts.

But it does make for interesting conversation. Watch NFL Draft on Fubo Anyway, in the interest of public discourse, here is what they are saying about Miami's first two picks (with more to come the next two days): Bryan DeArdo, CBS Sports "Proctor isn't a terrible pick, but it's safe to say that Caleb Downs could have been the splashier move after the former Ohio State safety fell out of the top 10. Instead, the Dolphins essentially gave Downs to Dallas when they swapped picks with the Cowboys .

If Downs ends up being a stud for the Cowboys, rest assured that Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan won't hear the end of it. Regarding Proctor, concerns about his weight at the college level lingered throughout the NFL Draft process. " Colin Gay, Tuscaloosa News "Proctor looks like a top-tier offensive line starter, standing at nearly 6-foot-7 and 352 pounds.

He's massive. But he's not the most consistently athletic option out wide, and, while a star in rush block, he's struggled in pass protection. Whether at right tackle or a move to guard, Proctor will play a key role immediately with the Dolphins.
