REPORT: Lions/Dolphins trade

One final thing on the Dolphins-Detroit trade situation. I’ve been told tonight by person familiar with what Lions are thinking that they are making plans for having the No. 5 overall selection tomorrow night — Miami’s first scheduled pick of the draft tomorrow.

Yeah, I figured they would to make sure the Chargers didn't get in front of them.

Still think it will be Herbert

Rumor flying earlier, they were moving for a OT.

My money's on Herbert, but I can't write off Tua here

From Rapport

 

Sources: The #Dolphins have called the teams in front of them for a possible trade up from No. 5 and are gauging the price to come up to No. 3 to potentially take an offensive tackle. We could see a run on tackles in the Top 10 like never before.

that would be a massive reach

They got these picks by trading a good LT...now they trade up for one?

[TheSpecialJuan]

The Miami Herald reports the Lions are "planning" as if they will have the No. 5 overall pick in tomorrow evening's first round. 

Meaning, the Dolphins trade up with the Lions to No. 3 overall, likely to secure a quarterback. After weeks of rumor and misdirection, the Dolphins once again seem most likely to take Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa over Oregon's Justin Herbert, though no one seems to truly know. The Dolphins have played the coronavirus-affected rumor mill to perfection. This will not be the last Dolphins or Tua report you read between now and draft time.

I don't see why they would need to move up to 3 to do that though. I guess they are worried about the Giants taking one. Is there 1 tackle that is head and shoulders above the top 3 or so?

The NFL Network mocked Wirfs to the Dolphins.  Want to get him ahead of Giants.  Does that mean Simmons or Okudah to Giants?

I hope it’s a tackle or Herbert and we can get Tua. Trading up for Tua would probably not be super smart by the Dolphins. Too risky.

I can see falling in love with Wirfs---Wills, however, is the best T in the draft.

Derrick Brown to NYG would become a possibility

Wouldn't make much sense to go from 5 to 3 to take a QB they could get at 5.
