With the 13th overall pick in the POD Community Mock Draft, the Miami Dolphins select...
Will Johnson, cornerback out of Michigan
Here's nrs001 explaining the pick:
Dolphins brought in some names like Westbrook-Ikhine WR, Daniels G, and Melifonwu S during free agency. They still have some holes at guard, cornerback, and safety. 13 is a little to rich to be taking a guard. The Dolphins cut ties with Kendall Fuller this offseason leaving a hole across from Jalen Ramsey. With a run on WR and OT this allowed the board to fall favorably for the Dolphins. Travis Hunter may end up being the top cornerback, however this allowed both Will Johnson and Jahdae Barron to both fall to the Dolphins.
The Dolphins selected cornerback Will Johnson and here is why. He is a big corner with smooth hips. He's not afraid to play press on the line. He's got pretty good instincts. With Ramsey and Johnson, the Dolphins could have two top-tier cornerbacks that could lock down the outside for the next few seasons. Dolphins can look to fill some of the other needs later in the draft. The Dolphins will be chasing the Bills in this division. Having two top-tier cornerbacks will put them in a good spot to chase the top of their division.

Minkah Fitzpatrick gets a $16.245 million signing bonus in his restructured Dolphins deal
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins agreed Sunday to a restructured contract that adds a $16.245 million signing bonus to the All-Pro safety's deal. Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the restructured deal, which was first reported by ESPN. The Dolphins acquired Fitzpatrick in a trade with the Steelers last month that sent All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh. Fitzpatrick, who became one of the top safeties in the NFL with the Steelers, returned to the team that drafted him 11th overall in 2018 and traded him away at his request in 2019. There previously was no guaranteed money left on Fitzpatrick's contract that runs through 2026. No years were added, but Rosenhaus said they're seeking a multiyear extension. The Dolphins cleared $11 million in cap space in the restructured deal by converting part of Fitzpatrick's salary to a bonus, according to NFL Network. Fitzpatrick had $2 million of his 2026 salary moved up to this coming season. He is now due $17.5 million in 2025 and $15.6 million in 2026. Fitzpatrick had signed a four-year extension with the Steelers in 2022 that made him the highest-paid safety in the NFL at the time and gave him $36 million in guarantees.
