Your grades of the Miami Dolphins’ first two draft picks

Fan Grade – Kadyn Proctor, T, Alabama – 12th pick

The results for Miami’s select of Proctor probably reflect the analyst grades fairly well – and by that I mean without a clear consensus. A “B” grade received the most votes, coming in with 31 percent of the responses, but exactly 50 percent of the responses gave either an A or B grade while the other 50 percent was split between C, D, and F. Proctor is clearly a polarizing pick for the Dolphins, both for the analysts and the fans. He will have to prove himself before fans are ready to fully jump on board with this pick.

Fan Grade – Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State- 27th pick

The fan response to the Johnson pick was much more positive, with 42 percent rated the selection an A grade and 80 percent had it either as an A or B mark. A C grade received 14 percent while the remainder was just about evenly split between D and F. Johnson should immediately be installed as a starter at cornerback for Miami, but there has to be some concern about the jump from San Diego State’s competition to the NFL level. If he can continue to be a ballhawk like he was in college, Johnson will be a very successful pick for the Dolphins.

AFC East roundup

Using our SB Nation Reacts surveys from across the AFC East, we can get an idea of how the fans of Miami’s division rivals are feeling after the first round. Starting with the Buffalo Bills, 58 percent of their fans gave the team an A for their multiple trades, which ultimately led to trading out of the first round, adding additional picks. That positive feeling jumps to 88 percent when you add in the B-grade responses. Like Miami, the Patriots made moves around the draft board on Thursday – including being a part of the Bills’ trades. New England made the 28th pick, just behind Miami’s selection of Johnson, and added Utah tackle Caleb Lomu. Their fan grade poll saw 50 percent of the response land on an A mark while another 38 percent gave it a B. Finally, the Jets made three picks on the night, starting with the second overall pick when they added Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey. They then used the 16th pick to acquire Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq. Just before the end of the round, New York came back into the first round to pick Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper, Jr., with the 30th overall selection. Jets fans gave the Bailey pick an A with 42 percent of the votes, the Sadiq pick a B with 32 percent, and the Cooper selection an A with 55 percent of the responses.
