#2:  Miami Dolphins trade up for Joey Bosa

Joey Bosa may be the best overall player in his class.  He’s a force as a pass rusher with that coveted size-speed combination that makes him a nightmare to stop because he can win with a bull or get around the edge fast.  Imagine what a talent like that might do if he’s lined up next to Ndamukong Suh.

That is what the Miami Dolphins will be thinking were they to make this move.  Then there is also the practical reasoning.  Star pass rusher Cameron Wake will be 34 at the end of January and is coming off a torn Achilles.  On top of that their other defensive end Olivier Vernon could be leaving for free agency due to salary cap problems.  This team is in danger of having no pass rush next season.

Desire and necessity both drive this trade.
