Earlier this week, we outlined the reasons the Miami Dolphins should strongly consider trading back from the No. 8 overall pick in April's NFL draft. But Friday we're going to take it a step further.

Here are two potential trade partners for Miami at No. 8:

Team No. 1: Cincinnati Bengals

Analysis: The Bengals have two first-round picks -- No. 17 and No. 21. But one of Cincinnati's biggest needs is finding a starting running back. The lynchpin to a potential trade here is Alabama tailback Trent Richardson. Once thought to be a top-five pick, Richardson's stock has fallen somewhat after recent knee surgery and skipping the combine. There's a decent chance Richardson could fall to the Dolphins at No. 8, and Miami doesn't need a running back. Miami and Cincinnati could swap first-round picks, in addition to the Dolphins getting an extra second-rounder and a later pick to move back nine spots. The Bengals would get their new star running back and still keep the 21st overall pick. The Dolphins would have two additional picks and can still draft a right tackle, safety or possibly Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill at No. 17. Everybody could win under this scenario.
 
Lets not - unless they give both first rounders. We have some deep holes to fill.
 
I'll take there first rounder #17 and next year's first rounder as well forget the second round pick this year. That gives up ammo to trade up in next years draft and go after Barkely!!!!
 
No GM in his right mind would give up 2 first rounders to draft a running back coming off knee surgery, regardless of how minor it was. I think a 1, 2, and maybe a 3 package isn't out of the question, however.
 
to expand on the scenario that Richardson falls to the 8th spot, a better scenario would be to trade back to 11 with KC who could use a bruiser like Richardson to pair with Charles. We could possibly snag an extra 2nd in this trade. then trade back again to 14 with Dal so the 'Boys can snag Dre Kirkpatrick as they need CBs in a big way. We could snag an extra 3rd in this trade.

this would move us from 8th to 14th and add an extra 2nd and an extra 3rd to our coffers. we could still get a top OL if that is what Ireland wants, perhaps DeCastro or Adams or Glenn and go with BPA with our picks.

sounds simple but we all know trading back isn't easy as you have to have trade partners that are willing to do so as well. so it sounds good, but most likely won't happen.
 
I like trading back..But def would like more than just a 2nd..but hey beggers cant be choosers..Trent being on the board is big but it really matters who else is left on the board. That way we could have some kind of leverage. Also FA is going to help dictate what happens. All tho Cincy will end up still needing a RB...

Dude it's the Bungles, that alone makes it possible.
 
Based on the value chart, the 8th pick is worth 1,400 points

Bengals own the (pick... value)

17th = 950
21st = 800
53rd = 370 (2nd round)
84th = 170 (3rd round)
116th = 62 (4th round)
148th = 32.2


So it would take more like the 17th, 53rd and 116th to get the better end of the deal... in which I think I would do depending on how many of the DE pass rushers have been taken up to the 8th spot. With and aditional 2nd and 4th we can fill in the RT, saftey, CB and TE needs.

No shot! Cincy is not giving up the 17th and 21st pick in the draft for the 8th. No way. Maybe the 17th, their 2nd and a 5th but not both firsts
 
I would be down with giving up our #8 and our #42 for their #17 & #21 plus their third/fourth.
