Dolphins trade down to 12 Then Back to #6

I see they also swapped the #123 pick for #156 pick this year?

I've never seen anything like this before the draft.

 

So if I understand this right, we picked up #102 this year, swapped 1sts in 2022 with SF and have SF's 2023 1st and 2nd?

I like that #6 spot. I've seen a lot of mock drafts where Det takes Parsons. Assuming 3-4 QB's go ahead of us, that means we have access to either Chase, Smith, Parsons or Pitts.

A little curious as to why we didnt go after any 2022 picks, especially with all the contracts we have expiring next year. Maybe they don't like the talent or they just wouldn't have had the capital to still make the Philly trade work.

 

So, how many first round picks do we have next year now? Just 1? Or is it 2?

Sorry, I'm a little lost.

 

Jamarr Chase at #6, Najee Harris #18. Thats how you make a winning offseason.

 

Only 1.
We now own SF 2022 1st rounder.
Eagles own ours. So possible move up for us.

Thanks Pennington. Was afraid of that. Would've rather packaged 2023 1st rounder to Philly, but guessing they tried and Philly balked.

 

At the top of the thread.
"Thread tools".
"Edit thread".

Have a go and if you can't figure it out I'll sort it.

 

Maybe just merge with the other thread?

 

I can understand and appreciate trading back with the 9ers. I do not understand trading back up.

 

Rumor is the 49ers are hot on Trey Lance.

 

I just hope Tua is the guy man. It's going to feel awfully bad if the QB taken at #3 turns out to be a better player much less a superstar.

 

That's the gamble they've taken.
Tua is 100% getting his shot. Let's hope the crimson assassin shows up and starts to murder defenses.

 

Perfect... 4 QBs going before us!
Very likely to get same guy at 6, that we would have taken at 3.

 

Fields makes too much sense imo. They need a guy to play sooner rather than later and Lance isn't that guy. He would, however, be a good fit for the Falcons who will have Ryan for another year or two.

They wanted a premium talent and we have more than enough draft assets to do so while still being loaded.

We will have probably a choice of 2 of Sewell, Pitts or Chase. Either the top OT, top WR or the freak weapon athlete. At 12 we would still have some good players, but if we wanted a weapon we were looking at likely the 3rd or 4th WRs taken off the board or reaching for a defender.

 

Pleasure doing business with you

 

This trade has prrtty much ****ed the patriots chances of getting their franchise quarterback, while making us richer..... and i love it.


as i said before, and today is evidence of that.. teams are realizing whats at stake here, this is the draft for a quarterback.. next draft, the prospects are not looking very good... they may be in the Drew Lock or Daniel Jones level but nothing that will want you to spend a top 20 pick..

 

I mean it could be Lance. But my gut tells me that the Jets don't go QB and Wilson falls to #3.

I just don't believe they make this move and give up tha kind if draft capital for someone Shanny wasn't truly in love with and Wilson just seems like his type of QB. I feel like if it were Lance or Fields, they could have moved up to like 5 or 6. But in order to be in the conversation for Wilson, you need to have at the minimum, the 3rd pick. Our former DC is the Jets new HC. I'm pretty sure we got some intel about their intentions before we committed to this move.

Now if someone moves up to #2, my theory goes out the window. But for now, I think the Jets intent to ride it out with Darnold and will make it a point to surround him with better talent@the skill positions and O-Line.

 

I'm not sure I like this. In fact, I'm pretty sure I don't. I would rather have stayed at 3 or traded down to 4 if and only if it was someone we knew was going to take a QB. Given that we're at 6 and only 3 QBs are likely to go ahead of us, that means that Sewell and probably Chase are going to be gone. That leaves us with our second or third choice and we gave up a first rounder to get there. I would rather have taken two contributors in the mid first round and had two first round picks the next two drafts. This is like the worst of both worlds. Doesn't make any sense.

 

How come it doesn’t make any sense? We probably won’t get Sewell but he’s not the only really good OT in this draft + we‘re getting more picks. It‘s not like we‘re trading away Lawrence. With the draft you rarely really know what you gonna get, so it‘s better to have more picks and besides Iggy (where the jury is still out) the new regime did a good job so far when it comes to drafting players and adding talent to our roster.

 

This might sound insane, but the Texans will eventually have to cut Tunsil to fill out their roster. Maybe it's not this season, but once Watson is gone then Tunsil won't be far behind.

It would be EPIC if he ended up back in Miami...for free...after we gained like 7,146 draft picks from moving him.

 

If we're committed to Tua, we need to build a damn good O line to help him out and Sewell would have been a keystone of that line. "With the draft you rarely know what you're going to get," well, that should include the O linemen later in the round too. Sewell is pretty much universally acknowledged as a pro level player and I am tired of screwing around with projects on the O line.

 

I understand but Sewell (whom I like myself) might be the best OL project but there are others who are not far behind it‘s not like it‘s Sewell or bust and we picked up more picks, can’t understand how the trade makes no sense to you at all.

 

Well, I've explained it twice. If you don't agree, that's one thing, but you should understand it.

 

That's true, because now the #3 and #6 are out of play. #1 never was in play to begin with, the Jets need #2 too bad to trade it, so the Pats can attempt to snag #4 or 5...both of which are too late for the top-3 QB's.

So on top of our whirlwind of pick swaps today, we also screwed the Pats in the process! Beautiful stuff!

 

We don't know that a 4th QB isn't going to go. Really good chance it happens as desperate teams still exist.

They were going to take Chase or Pitts at 3 and now they will take Chase or Pitts at 6. You can complain that they aren't taking the guy they want but you can't say it doesn't make sense.

 

Did I see that we picked up #103 this year? Also, I thought we got a 3rd rounder in 2023, not 2022. Could be mistaken tho.

 

I guess he is just disappointed that we probably won’t pick Sewell.

 

What if the Jets pick Sewell, still a bad trade?

 

I don't think we were ever going to take Pitts at 3. Maybe Chase, but I don't think even Chase was worth a top 3 pick. If we weren't going to take a QB, the only player worth going after at 3 was Sewell, and he's at a position we badly need to upgrade.
