I want #10, not the leftovers.
18 isn't going to be leftovers....there are a handful of premium guys that will be gone well before ten

2021 NFL Draft Rumors: Dolphins looking to trade up for second top-ten pick?

The Miami Dolphins have already been busy in the 2021 NFL Draft, trading out of the third position, back to the 12th spot, then back up to the sixth-overall pick. Rumors over the past few days have the Dolphins considering another trade, with the common though that Miami could trade back to add additional picks either this year or in 2022. Now, however, there is some speculation that Miami could be looking to trade up, but not from the sixth spot, but rather from their second first-round pick, the 18th-overall selection.

Dolphins currently own the (1st round) 6th, 18th and (2nd round) 50th overall picks (in RED) within the first 2 rounds.
The Cowboys own the (1st round) 10th and (2nd round) 44th overall picks (in GREEN) within the first 2 rounds.
If the Cowboys and Dolphins agreed to make a trade:
Dolphins move up from the 18th pick and get the Cowboys 10th overall pick, the Cowboys would move down 8 spots and get the Dolphins 18th overall pick while also getting the Dolphins 50th overall pick. Those 2 picks (18th & 50th) would equal the trade value (700 points difference) to trade away the 10th overall pick to the Dolphins. That would move the Cowboys down 8 spots in the 1st round, but it would also give the Cowboys another mid-2nd round pick, thus giving them 2 picks in every round (2nd, 3rd & 4th rounds) while still having a pick in the teens in the 1st round (Cowboys have snatched up great players in the teens spot in the 1st round in the past).
Would you rather stay put and only have 1 pick to use in each first 2 rounds, or would you make the trade down while still getting a 1st round pick in the teens while grabbing an extra mid-2nd round pick, thus securing 2 picks in each round (2nd, 3rd & 4th rounds)?
Lots of holes to fill on this team, especially Defense.
What say you? Should the Cowboys trade down a few picks in the 1st round while gaining an extra mid-2nd round pick or stay pat?
If Surtain, Pitts, Sewell are all off the board come time we go on the clock then I’d probably do it.
Otherwise no, I want one of those three likely probowlers

Now, think about this, though.... Do you trust the Cowboys scouting department? The ones who picked Diggs, Gallimore in rounds 2 and 3 last year. Wouldn't you want them to get another shot at players in those round 2 and round 3 talent levels?
At 18, Dallas could get Farley, or JOK, or Newsome, each tremendous picks. I'd go with filling the CB spot there, with such a talent drop after that.
Then they could also use the ammo to trade up to the top of the second to get one of the 2 best remaining linebackers, Collins or Bolton. LB Talent dropoff after that is a sheer cliff!
Then, with the other pick in the 2nd, address safety position with Richie Grant, or if we got JOK, take the DT with Marvin Wilson, then hope for ArDarius Washington later in round 3.
All in all, some really good players in the 2nd round, and some left in the 3rd as well. It's a good good thing to trust the Cowboys scouting department. ESPECIALLY in a year where the combine was not centrally located. Lots of inflated times out there without standardization, so your scouts work is all the more important. Jerry needs to be at the yacht again.
Having 7 of the top 138 picks (and 3 top 50 picks) would be VERY nice.
Great minds think alike.
I don't understand why people keep saying this....its not great at the top? There are some great prospects at the top. Which is why the Dolphins want to get out of the 18th spot. Terrible spot to be in.I would because this draft isn't great at the top but has tremendous value mid first to end of the 4th round.
No. Zip, zero, nada.
They want 2 top ten picks because they want quality. They get silver dollars and we get a pocket full of pennies.
Thanks but no thanks. I want that #10 pick.
I say NO. Most of the "bluechippers" are at the top of the draft. We have 10 picks. use the extra 3rd and 4th picks and your 2nd to move up to the bottom of the 1st round to get a 2nd player with a 5th year option. We don't have a recent history of "coaching" up later round draft picks anyway.
Absolutely not. I didn't suffer through that awful season just for us to pick in the middle of the draft AGAIN, except we get an extra Jerry Jones gamble pick. It'd be like we've essentially had another 8 and 8 season
We've already had the shotgun approach in free agency last year and that was AWFUL. Which one of those guys are being retained for this year? The kicker? I'd much rather get one franchise cornerstone than a couple of guys that only fill one contract and they're out of here.
