Grier finally addressing the trenches...
If you really look at it, it wasn't that steep of a price to move up.
To go up from #48 to #37, the majority of the cost was trading away #98 outright (the compensatory pick).
The lesser cost was swapping #135 for #143.
The real question is whether the trade up was necessary to get their guy. Could they have remained at #48 and still landed Savaiinaea, or an equivalent talent? We'll likely never know.
My guess is that Grier/McDaniel had enough intel to suggest to them that they needed to make the move. So I don't have an issue with it. Although it does suck not having that 3rd rounder now. There are a few players I like that I don't believe will be available at the Dolphins next selection, #116.

"Overall, Savaiinaea is a starting-caliber guard right now and there will be more upside as he continues to develop." - Daniel Jeremiah
"The best remaining offensive guard left on the board after a flurry of selections on the draft's opening night." - Brian Miller
"His floor as a reliable interior starter makes him a valuable investment for teams looking to solidify their offensive line." - NFL Draft Buzz
"Arizona Wildcats offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea is a physical mauler in the trenches. He boasts positional versatility across his college resume, but his brute force power and heavy anchor will be best optimized at guard in the NFL." - thank you, Kyle Krabbs

A compensatory pick we were awarded in the 3rd and in the 4th. We got this kid and the Raiders 5th.
Is this guy as nasty as Tate?

Uhhhh... we also gave up our 2nd round pick too. I have no idea how this guy has a job. Panic buying period.

I’ll consider the pick we traded away, was worth Ech not seeing the field as a starter was so worth it!
