Across the show, guests including Kyle Crabbs, Omar Kelly, and Mike Florio weigh in on Proctor’s massive frame, versatility, and development questions—especially his ability to manage his weight—while also noting that he will be compared to Bain for years to come. The conversation expands to Chris Johnson’s upside, concerns about his small-school background, and broader NFL draft themes, including unpredictability and early-round surprises. Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal also joins to reflect on a big draft night for players like Francis Mauigoa, Rueben Bain, and Akheem Mesidor, while discussing roster depth, spring practice, and his “adapt or die” approach in the NIL era. Meanwhile, NFL storylines involving Mike Vrabel and reporter Diana Russini add a messy off-field subplot to an already chaotic draft week.

Dolphins make offensive line a clear priority, drafting Kadyn Proctor in the first round and passing on local favorite Rueben Bain, who later lands in Tampa Bay. Proctor’s massive size and versatility to play both guard and tackle stand out, even as a circulating Nick Saban clip raises some questions about consistency. Joe, a big Bain fan, explains why he still trusts Jon Eric Sullivan and the front office’s vision despite strong fan backlash to the pick. Plus, reaction to early draft grades, and a look ahead to more University of Miami prospects expected to come off the board in rounds two and three.
