@ckparrot Music to my ears

Of first round pick Kadyn Proctor, he said: "You pair us together, we're going to move" some people. "That's going to be our identity."

@KyleCrabbs Fresh pot of coffee is locked and ready to go. Let's have a day

I am armed with 1400mg of caffeine and ready for Day 3.

@nic_rohloff Big fan of a lot of this. Love Payne and Dennis-Sutton

Players I want Miami to target on day 3: Keionte Scott, DB, MIA Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, PSU Jalon Kilgore, DB, SC Jalen Farmer, IOL, UK Joshua Josephs, EDGE, TENN Zakee Wheatley, S, PSU VJ Payne, S, KSU Charles Demming, CB, SFA Cole Payton, QB, NDSU LT Overton, EDGE, BAMA

Payne (S), Denis-Sutton (DE), and Sarratt (WR). That's what I want from Day 3. We've got so many holes across the board, so I won't be upset with whatever we take. A lot of these Day 3 players are going to have a shot at a big role next year. Let's make it happen!!

Watching a man read names off flash cards for 3 straight days

On not selecting an edge rusher yet, Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan said: "You can't fix it all in one weekend."

@Tino9322 Would love to bring in Payne and Dennis-Sutton.

Here's the guys I would love to add on Day 3 QB - Taylen Green RB - Le'Veon Moss Jonah Coleman Kaytron Allen Jam Miller WR - Skyler Bell Elijah Sarratt Malik Benson Cyrus Allen Kendrick Law CJ Daniels Jordan Hudson Malik Benson TE - Dallen Bentley Michael Trigg DJ Rogers OL - Plenty of familiar names with positive opinions from people I trust to know there's still some talent there, but I personally can't say I have favorites DT - Gracen Halton LB - Kyle Louis Deontae Lawson Harold Perkins Edge - LT Overton Caden Curry Trey Moore Max Llewellyn Dani Dennis-Sutton CB - Keionte Scott Malik Muhammad Jadon Canady Chandler Rivers S - Jalon Kilgore Kamari Ramsey VJ Payne Louis Moore Cole Wisniewski

@JT_Evans97 Only thing I disagree with here is Kacmarek. With the amount of 12 and 13 personnel going on around the league, we're gonna see a lot of both TEs. Underrated part of Kacmarek's game is his ability to simply catch everything he touches, going to be a major boon for the offense IMO

How I currently prospect playing out Procter: RG year one and eventually shoot for RT, they have conviction Johnson: CB2 to start this season Rodriguez: Rotational guy to start, starter by end of the year Douglas and Bell: Future starters Kackmarek: Run block packages

@BurghFinsFan3 Definitely some moves I would've done differently, but the part I respect is that for once I can see a vision for what the front office is trying to do with the team. Not going to be a team of mercenaries / plugged holes anymore.

Perception I see so far from most Dolphins fans: Picks they love: Bell and Rodriguez Picks they like: Chris Johnson Picks they are divided on: Proctor and Kacmarek Picks they don't like: Douglas

@KevHarlanEffect Big fan of this. To hell with the big boards and consensus picks. Go get the guys you have conviction about and want in the building. Would love it if my feeling that this is the foundation for something special for this team in the future comes true.

Chris Bell to the Dolphins at 94 might be my favorite pick of the draft so far If he's healthy he is insane value at this spot

Dolphins Thru 3 Rounds ⤵️ 12th - OT Kadyn Proctor 27th - CB Chris Johnson 43rd - LB Jacob Rodriguez 75th - WR Caleb Douglas 87th - TE Will Kacmarek 94th - WR Chris Bell Sully is prioritizing size, physicality, and athleticism. Throw everything else out the window. #PhinsUp

12 and 13 personnel are massive in the league and Miami wants to play to its strengths: mashing people in the run game with a top five runner and the 2nd best running QB in the game. Kacmarek is an absolute crusher and perfect for what they want to do.

Need to investigate whether texas tech boosters are holding JES family hostage

.@MiamiDolphins @TexasTechFB @Jacob_R_10 is a Phin; and a "takeaway machine". One of my FAV's in this draft. #BaldysBreakdowns

New Dolphins OT Kadyn Proctor = 6-7, 352 pounds Current Dolphins OT Patrick Paul = 6-7, 326 pounds

@KevHarlanEffect Can't agree more. Not the pick I expected, but I couldn't believe how upset I saw what seemed like the majority of the fanbase be last night. Grier got blasted for failing to prioritize the line. JES goes and gets an absolute brick shithouse, and it's like we drafted a waterboy.

I know many don’t wanna hear it and this is going to piss a lot of people off, but I want to try to highlight the positives and reasoning for Kadyn Proctor. ⤵️ I’ll start by saying that my immediate reaction was not great. I thought we had our choice between Downs and Bain, and I believed leaving the draft with one of them was a 100% guarantee. Like many of you, I am not a football “expert” by any means, so I’m not going to try to pretend I know more than people who get paid a lot of money to know the game. I simply watch and love the sport. Here we go: ▫️This year’s draft was truly all over the place. Positional rankings, mocks, nobody was consistent. The only thing that was consistent was Fernando Mendoza. Go look at some top mocks and see how many picks were correct. It’s staggering. Try not to judge the pick based on where your favorite draft analyst had Proctor going in the first round. For all we know, he could be the best OL in this draft. He may also not be. Only time will tell. ▫️For years we’ve been rightfully bitching about our offensive line. We’ve never been healthy there, we’ve never had consistent play. Proctor should help us build a real wall from day one. ▫️There was a huge run on OL in the teens and early twenties. Some of the guys that many thought were going to be available at 30 didn’t even make it that far. If Sullivan wanted to target this position, 11-12 was the time, and the Dolphins obviously think they got the best player out of that group. ▫️I can’t say for sure that Mauigoa was Sully’s initial target, but if he was, he was smart to trade down one spot and pick up two additional fifths and still walk away with one of his guys. ▫️Kadyn Proctor is a massive 6’7, 350+ lb man. “Fast gets slow but big don’t get small.” Size is extremely important to our GM. ▫️JES also believes that Proctor can play both tackle spots and both guard spots. This will allow us to plug Jonah back at his original spot on the right side, and Paul/Proctor can completely lock down Malik’s blind side. Versatility was another box that Sullivan needed to check. Someone like Vega Ioane does not provide versatility, as good as he may be at the next level. ▫️Kadyn Proctor is only 20 years old. Plenty of room for growth, development, and maturing. Not to say that he’s “raw”, because he isn’t. He’s been extremely productive at Alabama in three years. One of the highest graded linemen in the country. ▫️He is also an absolute mauler in the run game, per many scouts. He can get downfield quickly and explode into second-level blocks, much like Aaron Brewer. Very impressive for his size. ▫️Bama lined him up at receiver. They also lined him up in the backfield. Rare athlete. At the end of the day, the Dolphins front office spent a ton of time with this kid and they fell in love with him. They’re trying to build this team from the inside out and they covet physical traits. Proctor checks all the boxes for Sully and Haf and the foundation they’re trying to lay. Again, my intention is not to tell people they’re wrong for feeling how they feel. I just wanted to try to provide some positivity and rationale for a player who could very well end up being a cornerstone piece for this football team. I know this was a surprise selection, but let’s give this kid, and this front office, a chance to put in the work and show us what they can actually do on the football field. I am choosing to trust this process, and I think you should too. #PhinsUp

Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan explained passing on Caleb Downs and Rueben Bain, calling Kadyn Proctor “rare.”

I’m not actually upset about the Kayden Proctor pick on its face. I’m just upset we let Caleb Downs go. It’s frustrating to have that talent fall to us and not act on it. I’m glad we addressed trenches. Remember, JES said: “in the cold, big doesn’t get small” He backed it up
