If you get your top pick at 6, I'd rather have the top pick plus a 2nd rounder than just the top pick.
But yes, I would want more in a trade down as well.
The #3 pick has too much value to simply pick a player

You think Slater is going that high?

What Miami lacks are elite level players. X and Sanders are the only two on the team. Imagine where Miami would have finished without those two this year. Unless the price is right, the 4 elite players ( Sewell, Smith, Chase, Parsons) likely on the board at #3 when Miami picks are too good to pass up on one them. Dropping any lower than 6 would be a mistake imo unless they are sure Detroit would trade up for a QB at 7 ensuring one of those would be on the board.
Of course the Jets aren’t guaranteed to take a QB, so they would likely draft one of the 4. Maybe that would raise the offers coming Miami’s way.
At least the off season isn’t going to be boring as a Dolphin fan.

I'm with many, liking a trade down to 4-8, for picks and still getting Smith or Chase, but I don't think it's a sure thing that we get any decent offers. Do we go down to 10-20 or more for a massive draft haul over 2 (or 3) years, but give up any chance at the elite top non qb's?

If those are your 4 targets, you don't trade down further than where you are assured of getting one of them.

And I don’t see any Dion Jordans in this draft so I doubt a team is hungry enough to trade up to #3 to take such a infinitesimal impact player.

I think it is funny that some of you are projecting so many things that will not happen.
1. The odds of us trading down are low. First off the Jets probably want to trade down to. Last year the Lions and Redskins were begging to trade down and no one including us bit. That was with two QB's on the board.
2. Everyone thinking we are getting a treasure trove of picks to move down a few slots. I don't give a rats ass if we only get a 2nd, we will still get a stud if we only move down a few spots. We can get a decent haul but that entails moving down quite a bit.
3. Studs are had for the most part in the top 10 of the draft. If we trade back for quantity over quality we miss on the Earl Thomases of the World for the Koa Misi's and Jared Odricks, jags.
I predict if we are stuck at 3 we go in this order if available
Sewell
If Sewell is off the board, it will depend on what we picked up in FA, if we get a WR then Parsons will be in play, if not Smith/Chase will be it.

Agree 100% though we traded #14 where Thomas went and we went to the bottom of the first to get Odrick at 28. If we move from #3 hopefully it's still top 7-8 where we should still be able to get a big time difference maker along with another 2nd rounder/2022 pick.

I am definitely intrigued with trading back and can also see why we would want to stay at 3. It's still early yet, and I am curious to hear about the position depth of this draft after the combine, etc. Crossing my fingers that the deepest positions align with our major needs.
Both ankles....
Instead of getting Randy Moss....Jimmy Johnson got John Avery, Brad Jackson, Scott Shaw and John Dutton.....
I'm confused about your stance.
Do you think the past is relevant, or do you not?
If it is, historically, WR isn't a good value, without trading down.
If it isn't, then what different regimes have done in the past has no bearing on the present.
I'm not discounting the need for offensive weaponry, just the rationalization being made.

Trading down a few spots won’t change access to a blue chip player. I think that’s the OP’s point.

I think the point is that the number 3 pick figures to be a prime QB spot and Miami is unlikely to want a QB and can thus move down a few spots to a team that wants to ensure they get their QB. The package may be too good to pass up. It also depends on how much separation Miami sees in the talent between non-QBs in the top 10.
