Miami Dolphins: Five exciting potential draft-day trades
By Ian Higgins
After making the inevitable mistake of trading up for a quarterback of the future, Aaron Rodgers clapped back at the Green Bay Packer’s front office with an MVP season at the age of 37 throwing for 4,000+ yards and 48 touchdowns to five interceptions as well as an NFC Championship appearance. Coming into his own within Matt LaFleur’s offense, Rodgers has excelled within the play-action based scheme reminiscent of Goff & McVay’s 2018 Rams.
Currently surrounded by big-body downfield targets, the Green Bay Packers have been unable or unwilling to pair Rodgers with a true number-two receiver alongside route-running perfectionist Davante Adams. This mistake will not be made again though, as the Green Bay Packers jump the line in order to lock in Minnesota wide receiver Rashod Bateman.
Having moved back 11 spots in order to re-enter the fourth and fifth rounds as well as collect a future second-round selection, the Miami Dolphins continue cashing out on their excess draft capital for additional future assets. Despite moving back eleven spots in the first round, Flores and company will still be fully capable of grabbing an immediate impact player for their defense.
Having already nabbed San Francisco’s third-round selection next year, the Miami Dolphins now find themselves with five selections in the first three rounds in back-to-back drafts.
