Dolphins Trade Up Three Spots, Select Chris Johnson 27th Overall

The Miami Dolphins have traded up from pick number 30 to pick number 27 to select San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Miami has sent picks 30 and 90 to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for picks 27 and 138. Johnson had a productive season as a senior at San Diego State in 2025, recording 36 solo tackles, nine passes defensed, and four interceptions. He returned two of his four interceptions for touchdowns, showcasing his big-play ability. The Miami secondary figures to be a relatively open competition for playing time, so Johnson should have a chance to step in as a starter immediately if he can produce in training camp and the preseason.
