Quick thoughts from Sun Sentinel staffers on what the Miami Dolphins did in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday night:

No surprise, the Dolphins took a tackle in Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor to solidify the line and help quarterback Malik Willis. He’s big. He’s good. Just what this offense needed. The lingering question: Would Reuben Bain Jr. have helped more on defense?

I’ll admit it, would have selected Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. This is a shocker to everyone who produced or followed mock drafts. The Dolphins get an offensive tackle with their first pick, reinforcing the trenches, which they said is a priority, but this is a bit of a head-scratcher to most NFL followers

I’m shocked. The Dolphins traded down when Ohio State safety Caleb Downs was available at 11 and passed on Miami Hurricanes edge rusher Rueben Bain at 12 to pick Kadyn Proctor. He’s a mammoth lineman at 352 pounds, so the Dolphins are truly building from the inside out. He can start off at guard and maybe eventually kick out to his natural position of tackle. Proctor has all his college experience at left tackle, but he could be a contingency plan for the future at right tackle if the team moves off from Austin Jackson.
