Miami Herald......

It would surprise if Minkah Fitzpatrick makes it to the Dallas Cowboys game next Sunday. The Dolphins have been talking with three teams who are seriously interested in the former No. 11 overall selection, according to sources.

The Dallas Cowboys, interested early on, have dropped out of the derby and would have to do much work to make up the ground they’ve lost to those three teams.

The Dolphins are certain -- certain! -- they’re going to get a first-round draft pick for the defensive back. And they’re confident they might get an extra piece of compensation in the deal as well -- perhaps a player, or maybe a lower-round draft pick.

They must have hung up on old jerrah, whenever he said staightup Taco for him, and old jerrah kept saying HELLO HELLO?

It’s not about where he was taken in the college draft coming out of Alabama. It’s about the tape he’s created as an NFL player.

Guess what: his NFL tape includes a lot more than the little highlight reel you might have watched. He hasn't graded out very well. Some have even called him a mini-bust.

Teams interested in trading for him think they can unlock his potential, but this is no sure thing. And the big issue is that he's a bit like Byron Jones...he's a guy who doesn't have an obvious position. Can play safety, but he isn't super at it. Can play outside corner but it's not ideal. Again, his most natural spot--slot corner--just doesn't have as much value.

Even Minkah himself says, "Strong Safety isn't suited for me". He's outspoken that he wants to be a slot corner.

Dang it Steelers.

I get why Miami would do it though, Pittsburgh's 1st round pick will be higher than other rumored teams (I doubt Commanders were going to give up a top 10 pick for him)
