We still land with 11 in 2021 and have now added a high pick in 2022. I dunno, I like. I liked the trade down because this year's draft has a lot of talent, so 2 #1's this year instead of next year would have been better from my perspective, who knows what the talent level will be next year.

RICWOOFLAIR Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 To trade away from Smith and Pitts is just moronic. I love the trade if the Dolphins stink this year...... But for a team that SUCKS at drafting...it sure takes some balls to trade AWAY From the premiere talent to the lesser talent. Already setting Hurts up to fail.

It's really hard to judge due to the pandemic leading to a lot of teams not playing or players opting out. Crazy year to get a good evaluation.

Looking back over the past few years, it's certainly not completely out of the question. In 2020, first WR taken was Ruggs (coincidentally, at 12). In 2019, first WR taken was Brown (at 25). In 2018, first WR taken was Moore (at 24). In 2017, first WR taken was Davis (at 5). In 2016, first WR taken was Coleman (at 15). Can you imagine still getting one of the players most here have wanted and end up with yet another high pick in 2022? In 2017 we did see the top 3 WR all go in the top 10, but I do agree there is a decent chance we can still end up with one of Chase, Smith, Waddle or Pitts at 12. My guess is Waddle is the most likely of the four to be there. However it is a bit of a gamble if we're having our heart set on a pass catcher. If you were strongly considering a defensive player at 6 then this trade actually makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Waddle remains, then I hope we go with the best CB (Horn or Surtain) and hope Bateman falls to 37 (or we make a trade up from 37 into the latter part of the 1st to get him).

Road to Victory Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 5 minutes ago, downundermike said: Waddle or Bateman would be the options at 12 IMO. I would take Batemen, I think he is the second best WR in this class. I like Bateman too but I think Howie is hung up on where a WR lines up. I think Bateman can play all 3 WR positions. Let’s not make the same mistake by taking Reagor over Jefferson just because of positional preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad67 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Does it really matter if Howie screws 12th pick instead of 6th? ... but possible 3 1st round picks next year sound kinda good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is not the guy, then they have the ammo next year to move up and get the QB. At this point general consensus is that there aren't top QBs coming out next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 2 minutes ago, downundermike said: It actually makes sense Howie (reportedly) wants Wilson. Miami deals the pick to SF (assuming so they can get Wilson), so Howie jumps in front of SF to get his guy. It really is too Howie like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weko Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 43 minutes ago, Cochis_Calhoun said: Honestly the fact that we took a first next year rather than multiple second and third day picks this year makes me think this is cap related, a contract for a #12 pick is about $2million cheaper cap hit wise than #6, plus you don't have to find a million in cap space for multiple second rounders. We're in a deep hole this year and Howie is cutting his cloth. Yes could be cap related with the trade down in the 1st but 2nd and 3rd round picks don't make much money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a stroke of genius. The stroke of genius was Miami dropping from 3 to 6 and picks up TWO 1st round picks next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroundAttack Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The only good thing I see from this is we can possibly have 3 first round picks next year. Parsons isn’t a bad take at 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
