Would anyone honestly be mad if the Dolphins swapped first round picks and with the Cowboys and take their second rounder and drafted Demaryius Thomas at 27? Then we could use the two seconds on OLB. Maybe Brandon Graham drops to our early second rounder. This is also including the fact that OLB and Hybrid rushers go deep in this draft. We could use the third round pick on a NT, possibly Cam Thomas if he's there. Our fourth could be used on a FS for development while Miami could go after Darren Sharper or (Ken Hamlin?) as a stop gap (assuming Atogwe just isn't their man). I like these moves because I look at Thomas as an Andre Johnson/Brandon Marshall player. His QB was crap in college and they ran Triple Option all day. I think he can be special and we could be set up for success with this plan. Bash away now...

I'm like the idea of trading down, but trading all the way down to 27 seems a bit much, even if it garners an additional second rounder.
I'd love it if we traded up and nabbed Berry. Maybe trade our 3rd and 1st to Cleveland for #7 overall. -

I used the Cowboys as an example because I couldn't think of anyone else.

If we look at the Draft Value Chart the 12th (1,200) overall pick is worth more than the 27th (680) and 59th (310) pick respectively. With that said if we don't have what we consider a value pick at that spot then I wouldn't be to upset I guess.

everyone is using the cowboys as an option because jones brought dez in for a visit. we actually still have people that believe dallas would trade austin to move into the 12 pick to take bryant. That is not going to happen. -

the only way i see us dropping all the way down to 27 is if we trade it to DEN for Marshall -- but we'd have to get more than a 2 back in return. Getting Marshall and having 2 X 2d rd picks, and either 2 X 3d or 4th rd picks would be just fine ... we could still pick up 5 of the following:
S: Jones / Allen / Burnett
DE: Carrington / Alaulu
OLB: Lane
ILB: Butler / Chaney / Dillard
NT: Joseph
WR: Benn / White / Williams (of course not likely if we trade for Marshall)
even if you keep the late 1st rd pick:
WR: Bryant
NT: Odrick
OLB: Graham / Kindle / Worilds (Morgan / Hughes are gone for sure) -

Yep ... looking forward to a stellar draft this year !!
i really do see us trading down and picking up at least 1 more 3-4 rd pick (such as trading Smiley) ... 2 picks would be tremendous -- and offer us great flexibility.
of course, they'll throw in a surprise along the way -- but that is my blueprint ... -
I'd be fine with Bebe Thomas or Benn at 27, but it would take A LOT MORE than a late second round pick to drop from 12 all the way to 27. A lot more.

The best trade partner is the Giants as 15. Supposedly the Giants have the OG Inputi and LB McClain as their two top targets.

so its a low 1st, low 2nd and a low 4th for #12
I frankly think in a draft this deep that it is a great deal for us and that the Cowboys would not do it unless a very good LT falls to #12
