Miami Dolphins general manager Mike Tannenbaum acknowledged the team is willing to discuss potential trades with teams regarding picks in next week's NFL draft.

"When that opportunity becomes available, we'll measure it against the board, what our needs are," he told reporters. "We'll see what happens. Sometimes you get a trade offer that's hard to say no to."

This team picking at the bottom of the 3rd rd is very disadvantageous. Any trade that would give the team a mid-third and maybe a 4th would be great!
 
You can't make that public knowledge
 
He's saying about what you'd expect anyone to say. Everything has a price.
 
As opposed to announcing, "we, the Miami Dolphins, would never trade the 22nd pick. Never. Never have we ever. We would not trade it for a guard. We would not trade it for 10 yards. We would not trade it for a ferret. We would not trade it for Myles Garrett."
 
I think the Dolphins are in a great spot right before the giants who are at least interested in Patrick Mahomes II. Teams like the Browns, Texans, Steelers may think they have ro move up to 22 to gwt him before the Giants do.
 
Misleading title is misleading.

oh this is so great! Laughing way more than someone my age should.
 
I was hoping Trader Mike could have another draft day inspiration to trade a third, fourth and sixth round pick for a seventh round quality WR with a funny name.

That's one sure way to Make the Fins Great Again!

Seriously, its' bizarre. You give up three picks -- arguably all three above where the WR should have been drafted -- and now, because the Phins could have massively used those picks in a deep draft at any number of NEED areas -- now you are willing to give up your best shot at immediate impact player in order to reacquire the picks you burned for a 4th rate WR.

SERIOUSLY!

It hurts sometimes to be a Fin fan.
 
Sad thing is a trade down will just re-acquire the mid-round picks we should already have.

You got all that from a football person saying they would trade a pick if the right offer is made?

Actually, it's just basic logic. IF the Phins had 3 more picks in THIS draft, the talk would be moving up. Not moving down in desperation for more picks in a deep draft.

There is always the possibility to move up or move down


And we traded this year's third and fourth for Carroo. Two picks, not three (the sixth was last year).

I wish we had those picks this year, of course, and glad we got a third round compensatory pick.
