After sliding down one spot and picking up a pair of fifth-round selections, the Miami Dolphins addressed a clear need by taking Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor at No. 12 overall.
Per usual, Dolphins fans had varying reactions to the move on social media, with some showing their love for the pick while others hated it. Here's what they had to say.
Thank God. Almost thought we’d have a competent GM for once. Thanks for keeping it consistent, Dolphins.
knew something was wrong when we hired leadership roles based on friendship
Trenches baby! Where games are won and lost.This was always gonna be a meat and potatoes draft where the Fins weren’t gonna go for the sexy positions early until a few years from now. Build the foundation first.#FinsUp https://t.co/zMz9nrbcFd
Love, love, love the Proctor pick! I can’t stress this enough. We need to build from the O-Line up. No matter how much I liked Bain or Downs. We needed a stud like Proctor on the line #FinsUp 🐬 https://t.co/KGDsvb9hcd
