Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State

The Dolphins shored up their offensive line with the addition of the University of Miami's Francis Mauigoa with the 11th pick. Now it comes time to address the defense - with either edge rusher or cornerback the main targets here. Based on the board, my choices came down to either Johnson or Texas A&M edge rusher Cashius Howell. Either would work, but concerns over Howell's measurables, the Dolphins likely needing to select two cornerbacks this year, and the depth of the edge rushers heading into the second round givers Johnson the nod here.

Johnson may need a little time to adjust to the NFL game from San Diego State, but his production cannot be ignored and his Combine performance shows he should be able to bring that production to the NFL level.
