Phins mini news wire7/22/2023 If Grier were sold on one of these players they’d of stuck with the 3rd Overall. Obviously the smart bet with the pay per head bookie sites is that Dolphins have their eyes on any of the following: Ja’Marr Chase, DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Kyle Pitts, or Penei Sewell. It would seem Miami has these players valued pretty much the same. … so I don’t see jumping back to #6 for him. Micah could be an option, but a decent amount of mock drafts have him going just outside the top 10…. Unless we trade Howard before the draft, I really don’t see us taking one of these two cornerbacks. The only worthy Top 10 defensive players are probably LB Micah Parsons, CB Patrick Surtain II, and CB Caleb Farley. Phins will certainy go offense with the first pick since this draft is a heavily loaded with Top 10 offensive players. So, in the worst case scenario, the Dolphins will be able to select at least one of the Top 2 non-quarterback players in this draft. Clearly, the Bengals aren’t going to draft a QB, so they go with OT Sewell to protect Burrows.The Falcons have Matt Ryan, but they could equally look for his replacement as a weapon to help him out.The Jets are still a bit of a mystery, but there is still a good chance they pull the trigger and draft a QB as well.They didn’t attend Lance’s Pro Day, though. San Fran is definitely taking a QB because no team is going to trade away three 1st RD picks for anything but a franchise QB.The Jaguars are definitely taking Lawrence!.They have to to have spent all that ammo to trade back into the Top 10. Miami must really love one or more of these top prospects in this draft. Instead, Chris Grier saw the value of their unique position and traded from the 3 rd Overall pick to a QB hungry team to help both their young quarterback and the future. It’s now Tua or bust and with an offensive weapon on deck with the 6th Overall pick to help him out. This was a loaded QB draft and Miami was in position to draft the 2nd or 3rd best QB in the draft… if they wanted to. Given all these moves, it appears Miami is all in on Tua. On the down side, they swapped their 2021 4 th round pick for the Eagles 2021 5 th round pick. But, Miami traded back into the Top 10, using a 1st Round Pick and a little extra, to grab some top-tier talent to help the team now.Īll in all, Miami ends up with an extra 1st Rounder in 2023 and an extra 3 rd round pick in 2022. Initially, it looked like Miami was stocking up on future 1st Round picks for success down the road. General Manager Chris Grier pulled off two different trades with two different teams in the span of a few hours. The Miami Dolphins just pulled off what many Phins News fans were hoping for with a trade back in the upcoming draft.
