Could the Dolphins trade down from No. 6 after move with Eagles?

There are two ways you can choose to look at the Miami Dolphins’ decision to leap back up in the 2021 NFL Draft order from No. 12 to No. 6 after making a monster splash and trading down nine …

This article makes the case and I think Grier wanted to put us in the position to further wheel and deal if the opportunity presents itself.

Excited to see what happens during the draft!
 
The amount of capital we have right now is just absurd in terms of first rounders. That capital isn't any good if you don't use it. It wouldn't have made any sense if you trade down from six anyways considering you traded back up there in the first place. Have to be quite the offer
 
Made that point in another post. If Atlanta trades out to a team looking for a QB, and Bengals take Sewell, we only have to worry about the Lions taking a WR/TE (assuming we trade back with Panthers). Given that we think the Panthers want a QB, and the Panthers could think the Broncos do, I wouldn't be afraid to consider moving to nine.

Would be sweet to get that 2022 first back and still get who we would have taken at 3.
 
There could be a case where there is a top 4 QB either Lance or Fields in play and the Panthers get desperate and give a good deal to slide down to 8. Now if Pitts is still on board and Dolphins want him they may not make the deal but if they feel that Chase/Smith/Waddle are all good to bring in then they can get additional assets and get their receiver. Point here is at 6 we are in a very good position to make better moves.
 
I have to believe Grier will always answer the phone but I think they like a player or two and won't risk losing whomever that is. He'll play the board
 
I think we could trade 1 spot down with Carolina if lets say Fields is there at when the Dolphins pick and get like a 2nd rounder next year.
 
If its not a guy you love, then yes trade away. If Pitts isnt there, trade back to 14 or so.
 
Potentially the only way Miami trades pick #6, is if a QB drops. We all now know both Denver and Carolina are the 2 teams left looking for a QB, within the top 10. So Its possible they'll contact Atlanta at #4 and Miami at #6 to attempt to trade up. With Lawrence, Wilson, Fields Potentially all gone by #3. Its going to be very interesting if any of the other QB's get to #6.

There is always a possibility there will be other teams behind Denver and Carolina that could get into the frenzy, driving up the price.

So yes, its very possible Miami trades out of #6. If they do let's hope its another San Francisco type deal?

for dropping 2 or 3 spots, I would take Carolina or Denver's 2nd this year and 1st next year.

but i would need to know who is on the board, and if we are guaranteed to get 1 of our top 2 or 3 targets at 8 or 9.

i don't know who we love, or how many people we love!

i think it has to be 3 players!

if it were 2 players, #6 might not be high enough to get one.

if it were 4 players, might have stayed at #12 and seen if one fell.

So, i think it's 3, but I have no idea which 3! lol

I agree and wouldn't discount a defensive player if they do trade down from #6.

I believe this is their plan. If QB's drop, open the door and see what you can get! If not, you get someone you wanted at #3, but now at #6. Our GM and staff are playing chess, while everyone else is playing checkers!!!
 
That's the beauty of trading back into 6........you literally get to decide when you're on the clock. If the teams ahead of them don't select who they're thinking they might the can trade back as far as with the Bears or Steelers if they decide the want to move up for a QB and get a ransom as high or higher than they got from San Fran. If not, one of their targets is still available at 6. If several are there, they can move back to 8 and pick up another pick this year.
