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.

Dolphins OL Bayron Matos In Stable Condition After Training Camp Injury
Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Bayron Matos remained under observation at the Ryder Trauma Care Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital on Thursday, one day after he was transported there by helicopter from training camp with an undisclosed injury. The Dolphins said in a statement that Matos "has movement in all extremities and is in stable condition," but they did not provide any other details of his injury. The team also did not say how long Matos would be under the care of doctors. "It's a really heartbreaking part of the game," fellow Dolphins offensive lineman Austin Jackson said of the injury, which occurred in the final minutes of Day 1 of training camp. "Very tough." The 24-year-old Matos was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and played his college football at New Mexico and South Florida. He was undrafted in 2024 and signed with the Dolphins as a free agent through the NFL's International Player Pathway Program, an initiative that gives athletes from countries outside the U.S. a chance to play in the league. Matos, who signed a reserve/future contract in January, had spent time with Miami's practice squad over the past year. Matos only started playing football a few years ago. He grew up playing baseball and basketball, and after moving to Tennessee for high school, popped up on the radar of hoops coaches. Matos wound up redshirting and playing one season for New Mexico before transferring to South Florida, where he continued playing basketball and walked onto the football team. The 6-foot-7, 334-pound Matos started off as a defensive lineman and special teams player before switching to offensive line. Reporting by The Associated Press.

Dolphins provide encouraging update on OT who was airlifted to hospital
A day after Bayron Matos was airlifted to a local hospital following the Miami Dolphins' first training camp practice, the team offered an encouraging update about the offensive tackle's condition. "Bayron Matos sustained an injury at the end of Wednesday's practice and was transported to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he remained overnight for evaluation and testing," a team statement read. "He has movement in all extremities and is in stable condition. He will remain in the care of doctors for continued observation." The circumstances that led to Matos being hospitalized haven't been revealed, although one report said that the lineman "suffered loss of feeling to his right side" after a collision. Matos, 24, joined the Dolphins last year as an undrafted free agent as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program. The Dominican Republic-native was a college basketball player at New Mexico and South Florida before walking on to the football team at USF. The 6'7, 334-pound offensive tackle spent his entire rookie season on the Dolphins' practice squad.
