Willing to Trade Down?


Recommended Posts

With the Dolphins trading Tannehill to the Titans puts us in an interesting situation with Miami selection 17. 

You never know how this draft will sort its way out.  But if one of the decent QBs fall to #16 we could be in a position to trade our pick away and pick up an additional pick maybe even a 2020 1st rounder.

Would you be willing to trade down to a lower 20ish pick and get more picks?

What would you consider if you were Hurney?

Did I miss something?

 

Doesn't the Dolphins have the 13th pick?

Generally speaking since the draft is deep at our positions of need, trading down makes sense. However, if an elite DE is there you have to take him. 

I say we work with Cleveland to get Ogbah and then the pressure is really off and just take best available.

I don't think that a guy with 12.5 sacks over the past three years is going to do much to take away from our need for pass rushers.

Totally agree, but getting a guy that is a serviceable starter would keep us from having to reach in the first round if say 5-6 edge guys go before we pick. It's not likely but it is possible. 

I love Brian burns, but If he is the only top edge left does he fit our system? Also, I think Ferrell is overrated at 16 and rashan gary is a very boom or bust selection. Could be great, but hia production in college is mediocre for a guy with his athleticism. We need a sure thing. That's bosa, Allen, sweat and burns. 

Ferrell has some red flags as does Gary as first rounders and burns may not fit our scheme. Those first two are fine later in the first, imo.

I'd prefer to take Charles omeniure (sp?) If he's available in the 2nd round.

Depends.  Let's say we have 3 players on top of our board of relatively equal value---for example, Cody Ford (T), Brian Burns (DE/OLB), and Jachai Polite (DE/OLB).  Does not  matter how you  have these players rated--that would be missing the point.  Then yes, make  the trade.

Agree all three of those guys are great players but a little rich at 16 to me. Polite and burns may not be great fits at 4-3 end and Ford seems more a guard to me. I don't want to spend a 16 pick on a guard. If we knew he was a sure fire tackle then yes, draft him. Some risk though

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
