Hopefully this all goes down as the best trade in in NFL history. Wouldn’t it be nice to finally have a GM that’s worth a damn . My god would n’t it be.
 
The Dolphins are violating everything they should have learned from that Tunsil pick. Every other team got scared. The Dolphins patiently waited, and it led to maximized value. Then years later the Texans got desperate for a specific position and wildly overpaid. Miami took advantage again.

But this time the Dolphins did not patiently wait. With a prized #3 pick smack in the middle of the franchise quarterback desperation zone, and with 3-4 quarterbacks potentially coveted for that spot depending on the team, Grier brainstormed to back out a month early. Then within minutes Grier panicked for positional need, forcing his way back up to #6.

I dont think he panicked minutes later. Both trades were likely already planned and agreed to before they even executed the 49ers trade. The plan was always for pick #6 and I doubt they would have traded back to 12 without knowing they were going back up.

I have no complaints about the trades Grier pulled off on Friday. There is a saying in the stock market, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Grier could have held out a bit longer and maybe, maybe, gotten a better deal. Then again, we could have had to keep the number three picks as team maneuvered around us. I think the 49ers jumped because they realize the Jets are taking a QB. Possibly from their relationship with the HC. We are sitting pretty good for the next two years in the draft. Maybe we trade down from 18 to 22 and still grab Harris (we have to draft ahead of Pittsburgh if that is who Grier wants) and collect more draft capital.

PS, I like that we have SF 1st round pick as it gives me someone to root against just as we did against Houston last year. Can you imagine if they bomb and we end up with another top 10 or 5 pick. I know, pinch me so I come back to reality. But, I have been a Fin Fan for 40 years so I have the right to dream.

Man, I tend to love a lot of what you write, but do you really believe he "panicked" and made that trade back up in 5 minutes? No way. He lined that up before he accepted the sf trade.

Exactly! They had it all worked out before hand. Fleece the 9ers, n give up some of that fleecing, NOT ALL, to move back to where they wanted to be all along. Great moves!
