The Lions are “making plans for having the No. 5” pick in tonight’s draft, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald (via Twitter) hears. The Dolphins own that choice and they’ve been discussing a potential trade for the last few days.
At one point, the Dolphins were hoping to land the Lions’ No. 3 overall pick without sacrificing No. 5. Instead, they wanted to move up the board by dealing from the rest of their stockpile, which includes the Nos. 18 and 26 picks, plus a pair of Round 2 picks. No dice, it seems. If the Dolphins are to acquire Detroit’s No. 3 pick, they’ll have to cough up their own No. 5.
Had the Dolphins landed No. 3 and kept No. 5, they could have used those picks to address their two biggest needs at quarterback and tackle; not necessarily in that order, but probably in that order. If they send the No. 5 pick to Detroit, they could go either way at No. 3, where Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert should both be available. After weeks of Herbert talk, the Dolphins are now said to be eyeing the Alabama star.
Trade or no trade, the Dolphins will also have to address their tackle situation early in the draft. This year’s top tackles include Alabama’s Jedrick Wills, Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs, Georgia’s Andrew Thomas, and Louisville’s Mekhi Becton.
As long as Young’s not Avail. At 3
Yes for sure. No pre draft trade
If they really wanted tua, should have just kept 5 then.
Great move by Detroit.
Someone would trade ahead of Miami in that situation. Trade up, ensure you get your guy.
time to get a real QB
I’d just sit, Chargers are not going to trade up.
Dolphins are so dumb I could see them drafting too QB!
Read your comment again before calling the Dolphins dumb…

Ps- pleasd learn the difference between to, too, two, 2 and tua…. lolz
David-45; please learn how to spell please
David,
That’s got to be one of the worst handles ever. It was a typo you dumb yank
This is about getting ahead of the NYG
So maybe Wirfs is the pick and then they’ll trade back up for a QB or wait until one falls to them at #18, which means they like Love just as much as the other two.
Detroit would be smart to give Miami #3. They can still take Jeff Okudah at #5
I’ll believe it when I see it.
It’ll be for Tua. I’m sure they were worried about someone jumping them in a trade with NYG for 4
Somebody could Trade with Redskins to Draft a QB. Maybe send Stafford to Dolphins to.
Regardless by the value of the draft picks the differents between 3rd and 5th is only 500 points so we sh
Tua blows !
Should be able to move up and get a qb or best player available

Just a dry run. Next season they get to do it all over again.
