The Miami Dolphins entered the first round of the 2026 NFL draft with a pair of picks at Nos. 11 and 30. However, after trading down from No. 11 to No. 12 to select offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor, they traded up from No. 30 to No. 27 for cornerback Chris Johnson.

Johnson addresses a huge need for the Dolphins, as he can play both boundary or slot cornerback in the NFL. Despite that, some fans of the team were upset with the pick and shared their displeasure on social media.

Let's take a look at the mixed bag of reactions that the Dolphins received for taking Johnson at No. 27 overall.

And when I think this team can’t be any worst, they found a way of course.

So we end the day with Kayden Proctor and Chris Johnson and lost #90 for a couple of late ass 5th round picks and a 4th, YAY! man wouldnt it have been cool to have Rueben Bain at 12 and McCoy would have been there at 30 and not traded away #90

Terrible decision to trade up especially where you have Hood and Terrel but great player

There’s no way that this player was on anyone’s draft board in the first 30 picks and we moved up to grab somebody from San Diego State 😂 the Miami Dolphins organization is a two pack of ass
