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?

There absolutely is a way. I don't think they ignore corner and the numbers dictate a LB. But they could definitely bypass DT and S in terms of devoting a premium pick.
Notice the period after absolutely?
Just go back to previous drafts and 80-90% of the time anything outside the first 50 picks is nothing more than a backup. I would love for us to trade up back into the end of the first round to get a guy we love. I would give up our 2nd, 3rd and the late 4th if there is someone who has a mid first round grade.
I personally don’t believe Henry would be having the same success in Moore’s offense that he is in the Titans offensive scheme.
What does Mo have to do with the 2021 NFL Draft?
C’mon, man - that’s just dumb thinking. We can still get a starter at 18 (Farley, Horn, Darrisaw) AND get a 2nd starter at 50 Bolten or Browning) for ONE PICK.
