00:00Just tuning in the Miami Dolphins select select select Chris Johnson cornerback San Diego State
00:08has been selected the second first round pick today by your Miami Dolphins Dolphins traded
00:14both picks they went back on the first one from 11 to 12 and then this one they traded up
00:21from
00:2130 to 27 what was the initial give what was the uh what was the the give up there Solana
00:26for the Dolphins to move up today do you have those details
00:30yeah let me get it for you here um the Dolphins move from 30 to 27 they send San Francisco
00:38their
00:3890th overall pick and they get 138 back from San Francisco but Chris Johnson on a lot of those
00:47uh boards about the third fourth cornerback you know Jermon McCoy is on a lot of high the boards
00:53but everybody very scared of the the knee I'd imagine and the the health issues Colton Hood's
00:59been there but uh he's been amongst those those top five corners that were there and uh the Miami
01:04Dolphins end up selecting him their first round from today Caden Proctor offensive lineman from
01:10Alabama gets picked at 12 after the Dolphins move back a slot and Chris Johnson the Dolphins get
01:16their DB which I mean is I mean also one of their big needs not fortifying the trenches necessarily
01:21but good god Solana they need some people uh in the DB room yeah they needed a corner you mentioned
01:27it earlier kind of thought Mansoor Delane was going to be the guy and the Chiefs end up trading up
01:33for
01:33him so um Dolphins go trenches with their first pick you just figured it was going to be a DB
01:41or maybe a
01:42wide receiver at 30 um but yeah I mean they need corners they need guys who can start right now
01:48and hopefully Chris Johnson Chris Johnson can start right now for the Miami Dolphins
01:57uh let me hit this uh this thing for the sounder yeah
02:10New England Patriots yes they've traded with the Buffalo Bills and they have selected
02:16marriage counseling with the 28th overall pick
02:24that's a plus one they've taken uh Utah tackle Caleb Lomu with their uh 28th
02:32pick let me tell you uh he looks like a patriot he looks so much yeah he's so he does
02:40look like a
02:40patriot they're showing him right now hugging it was very I was throwing up I put up the broadcast
02:45there and Mike Greenberg goes uh when Chris Johnson got selected he goes the California kid stays in
02:51California I'm like what huh I swear to god that happened I was like what what is he talking about
02:56dude did he not realize that there was a trade that then I don't know I don't know
03:00he must have he must have thought that uh he must have thought that the the 49ers didn't
03:05the 49ers were still there he's he's probably on fumes that's what happens when you're uh hey we feel
03:10you greeny we feel you buddy uh but there you go the Dolphins uh Chris Johnson their selection and now
03:17we uh we will go into day two tomorrow with the Miami Dolphins now having uh some more picks at
03:24their
03:24disposal but look they uh they go out there they add to the offensive line Solana that's uh you want
03:31to talk about hitting doubles it's kind of feels what this is like they had to go add to uh
03:35the
03:36cornerback room and they had to add to the offensive line they decide not to go with uh an edge
03:42a guy
03:42to get after the quarterback because they feel they already got that in chop Robinson and Ushay they can
03:47make things happen there um that they're going to get some step up on their defensive line we'll hear
03:52uh I'm sure tonight a little bit later on on what Sullivan had to say about this move do I
04:00love
04:00leaving Reuben Maine up for another team no I don't love that I I I'm but I I can acknowledge
04:06my bias on
04:06it I'm not trying to run from it I'm not trying to hide from it um and I don't want
04:12to kill Caden
04:12Proctor just because there's red flag stuff out there because look even with with that stuff this is
04:17things when he's young he's admitting to ballooning up when he was 18 years old he's you know still
04:23out there being able to uh to to be a force and and be that at this age like I
04:28think the Dolphins are
04:29going to get somebody in it you know put and I think can also have a trickle down effect on
04:33the rest
04:34of the line that will put them in a better spot than they were last year yeah and and look
04:38you still
04:38have a pick in in the second round you still have three picks in round three um you have a
04:45couple in
04:45the fourth round I think they have three still in the fifth round now Tobin because they get that
04:50one from San Francisco and then two in the seventh round not that that really matters that much uh but
04:55like there's still a lot of work to do for Sully and and this entire uh front office yeah I
05:02mean did
05:03you come away today feeling like you got a franchise changer I don't think so and I think maybe Reuben
05:10Bain would have felt that way not a franchise changer but like just like that game changer
05:15just because we know and you're right like our biases are towards Reuben Bain like that dude's
05:20going to be a stud but I I told you at the start of the broadcast I wanted to I
05:25wanted to learn about
05:27John Eric Sullivan today like what were we going to learn about him how he views uh uh the construction
05:33of his roster and I think we learned a little bit today which is dude like you said he wants
05:38to hit
05:38doubles he wants to play it safe he wants to build the trenches and then you go you get Chris
05:43Johnson
05:44um to me that's not drafting best player available that's him addressing needs in the backfield
05:50which the Dolphins desperately have yeah and that's the thing where you got to trust the coach I mean
05:55that's kind of the coach's bread and butter there and Halfley and that's not that he's necessarily
05:58gonna capitulate to his coach at all times because they've already talked about the arguments they've
06:03had but you would hope like he's gonna look and say hey is this a guy that will work for
06:08you
06:08because look the last time the Dolphins you know went corner early with uh with Cam Smith it was a
06:15disaster and all we knew from him is that that Chris Greer's uh son played with him or something
06:19like that right so this one you know you have a new regime new fresh set of eyes in a
06:25position that
06:25was definitely of need I think that's why we were talking about taking Delane at at second and this
06:29is a guy that was amongst the top three to four guys at his position not the medical red flag
06:34that uh
06:35that that uh McCoy had so all right again you're gonna hope that the Dolphins have a guy that they're
06:42gonna be able to start right out of the gate and uh and and blossom with the rest of this
06:46defense
06:46but certainly they needed it there's no doubt about that yeah there's no doubt about that I'm just
06:51reading here um Marcel Louis Jacques from ESPN says Chris Johnson good ball skills sound footwork
06:58likely a day one starter for the Miami Dolphins and then I don't know if you care about what Mel
07:04Kuyper says or not uh I know Crowder Crowder doesn't because he hates Mel Kuyper why but because
07:11Mel Kuyper had Crowder going in the first round back when he was drafted by the Dolphins so Crowder
07:16took out a three million dollar credit line and he ended up going in the third round and if you
07:21do the
07:22math there you'll understand why that's you know not the the wisest decision uh but he says on Chris
07:27Johnson who the Dolphins just took with the 27th overall pick quote he's an ascending player he
07:32keeps getting better and better he started um his last two seasons at San Diego State and um
07:42that's who the Dolphins get hey Tobin if he can start day one I I think that's huge you know
07:47that's
07:48what you're looking for in the first round yeah there's no doubt that's that you have to have that
07:52they have to come away from this draft feeling like these guys are going to grow together they're
07:56going to start right away um and these are definitely positions that you felt like the
08:01void was was filled are they are they right off the bat do we feel like the Dolphins are getting
08:07game records yeah but I don't know that they didn't either like I'm just telling you like these are not
08:10the guys that were probably I think anybody was really buzzing about but I think they're their
08:14picks that you feel okay about like you think that the Dolphins are going to come into this thing
08:19and but we'll see that that's what happens like that that's why I get frustrated with these drafts
08:25because and I get it man 25 years no playoff victory I get it you know I don't remember the
08:30last time the Dolphins won a playoff game I don't I was four years old so I genuinely don't remember
08:35I'm as frustrated as anybody but like people fall in love while they're doing mock drafts and they're
08:39reading like people fall in love with certain guys right and if your team doesn't draft that guy
08:44or the guys you expected or the the the guy you uh uh predicted would be drafted you want to
08:51crush
08:51them don't get me wrong I understand the Ruben Bain stuff I'm I'm with you I was crushed too that
08:56they didn't take Ruben Bain it felt like everything fell into place for the Dolphins it feels like
09:01Ruben Bain and it does and and we would all be jacked the hell up right now uh but I'm
09:09not surprised
09:09that this is the route they went by the way Chris Johnson second team All-American in 2025 this past
09:14year
09:14he was the Mountain West defensive player of the year first team all Mountain West as well out of San
09:20Diego State well they always say if you want the best you draft out of the Mountain West so that's
09:26what people say dude uh Peter Woods went to uh the Chiefs from Clemson defensive tackle so uh the Jets
09:34just trade back into the first round Vlad yes we did they did what did who do they trade they
09:38traded
09:38with the that would be the 30th would be then no it would be you guys oh yeah it would
09:45have been
09:46you guys not a Niners yes it's the Niners and they're gonna draft Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper
09:51Jr. his draft was so much cooler than ours
09:55ah so we got a DN three we got a receiver
10:00second second overall pick still got I mean they still got Geno Smith as quarterback that's a pretty
10:06cool draft he got two cool weapons and the Knicks lost tonight wait a minute time out it's okay
10:12yeah okay CJ McCollum what the hell I thought he was washed Brian Baldinger can I interest you in a
10:18little baldy update oh he knows football he knows football we already got the baldy breakdown
10:23Chris Johnson has all the necessary skills to be an elite cornerback from Brian Baldinger listen
10:31weird fingers but great football takes very weird fingers yeah crooked crooked finger from baldy but
10:39man that guy knows football he knows football
