Dolphins grab Boston College offensive lineman in Touchdown Wire mock draft

He could fill a number of roles if asked.

Here’s what Touchdown Wire’s Mark Schofield had to say about the selection:

“Another player generating some buzz coming out of the Senior Bowl is Zion Johnson, the Boston College offensive lineman. Johnson saw time at both tackle and guard while playing in Chestnut Hill, and even saw action at center during Senior Bowl practices. For the Miami Dolphins, who need to shore up their offensive line, Johnson could be an immediate contributor at guard. He also projects best to a zone run scheme, something we can anticipate being a huge part of Miami’s playbook next season under incoming head coach Mike McDaniel.”

I could see Zion Johnson. I think he added value by playing center during the Senior Bowl week. Reports were he stayed after practices to continue to work.

With Miami bringing in the Boston College offensive line coach, he will certainly know Johnson's value.

Would rather take a mid round flyer on Alec Lindstrom, also from BC, if we want to draft a center. Tired of us drafting guys who all end up being guards at the NFL level.

Just depends who is available. I think Johnson is solid, but maybe there could be a better option at wide receiver?

I also expect Grier to sign at least at least one, maybe two offensive linemen in free agency.

Lindstrom would be a nice add.

Why would you ever trust Grier to draft another o-lineman?

Because Grier has faith the coaching staff can actually coach (train, teach) the raw ingredient selected to use the skillset he brings. Coaching is the next step after drafting. Before you claim the players suck re-evaluate their teachers.

If the student isn't learning, then the teacher isn't teaching. I know that's a statement that can be debated but, these players have been playing their positions for a long time to get to the NFL ... they didn't suddenly suck. Yes, there are busts. But if you look at some of the players we thought were busts who have moved on to other teams and have had better success you have to know the reason he sucked here wasn't on him and it wasn't on Grier.
 
Zion Johnson might be there in the 2nd round. I really want us to draft a WR with our top pick but if we go oline at 29 it should be for an OT imo.

It's possible an OT could be there.

1) Edge
2) Wide Receiver
3) Cornerback
4) Offensive Tackle
5) Interior OL
6) Running Back
7) Tight End
8) Linebacker
9) Quarterback
10) Safety
11) Defensive Line


Note: Having trouble getting the link to work. When I paste it in the link, it thinks it is [media]. It's not code, but I was able to put it under that option so it is at least visible and can be copied and pasted for now in case anyone is interested in reading their thoughts on the depth of each position group.

Something tells me we are either trading up or trading out of the 1st round.

I don't think we are staying and picking at 29.

I don’t think so either.

I think we can trade up with Dallas and New Orleans in exchange for cap relief.

I also think it’s possible we trade down into the second round with a team that needs a QB and didn’t get one early in the first because they weren’t worth the selection.

Lions, Panthers, Falcons, Texans, Broncos….

Or if the Rams are inclined to buy the pick I’d listen. They don’t have a pick until the 5th round this year and don’t have a 1st next year so hard to imagine what they could offer. 2024 and 2025 firsts? I’ll do it.
