Dolphins Trading the #3 Overall to the San Francisco 49ers

[Shanemansj13]

The key words are " this year ".

Again, you don’t give that much up for a non-QB...bc you are mortgaging your window. If they take a QB...fine.

The Niners can easily walk away from Jimmy without much financial ramifications.

There you go then. I am unsure of their cap and contract situation.

 

[Montalban]

I don't think 49er management is stupid enough to give up all that for a guy like Fields. I bet they have some further moves planned

• Dolphins acquired the No. 6 and No. 123 overall picks from the Eagles in exchange for No. 12 overall, No. 123 overall, and a 2022 first-round pick.​

  
  49ers acquired the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 draft from the Dolphins in exchange for the No. 12 pick, a 2021 third-round pick, and first-round picks in 2022 and 2023.
  
  The deal ensures San Francisco surrounds a quarterback for the entirety of his rookie contract with LT Trent Williams, George Kittle, and receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, not to mention the luxury of working with Kyle Shanahan in that time. Whether it's Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, or Trey Lance that GM John Lynch distinctly made this blockbuster move for remains to be seen. It also entails the end of Jimmy Garoppolo in the Bay Area as he's due $26.4 million in 2021 and a total of $53.4 million over the next two seasons. The Dolphins in turn now hold the No. 12, 18, 36, and 50 overall picks in this year's draft.

Damn if the Phins aren't trying. Good for them.

Miami goes from #3 to #6 and still nets a 1st rounder, a 3rd rounder, and a late round bump? Big win for them especially if somehow the top 5 all end up being QBs.

....when Washington traded up to the #2 spot to take RG3 from the #6 spot, the Rams got 2 future 1sts and a 2nd.

Dophins took significantly less. So it is not like they made out like gangbusters.

But draft specific, they basically are still going to be able to nab one of the top 2 WR targets, get an extra 1st round out of the deal and then get roughly a mid round 3rd (SF is giving up a comp pick in their trade as they didn't have their regular 3rd rounder) additional.

Pretty good value when you consider all they lose is the ability to choose between Chase and Smith.

So maybe I am not the only not sold on Fields?

I think they will be choosing between Smith and Pitts as I think the Bengals are now going to take Chase at #5.

they are all a ? mark until they aint

Kind of what I mean. At #3, the Phins likely would have selected Chase or Smith. Now at #6, they will be taking whichever one of those 2 are left in all likelihood.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

If Fields is legit in short time, this is the most complete team in the league

I think the Dolphins wind up with Pitts personally. Get arguably the best offensive weapon in this years draft and an extra draft haul from the trade.

They could probably still trade with the Falcons go from 6 to 4, give up nothing more than the 3rd rounder and maybe a 5th to move up, and still wind up with an extra 1st round pick in two years.

The pick could be Zach Wilson, too. I'd be happy with either. Lance would make me nervous, but who knows? Maybe he'll be very good.

Dolphins? I think they will be lucky see any of Pitts/Smith/Chase/Waddle

Pitts would never get past Dallas at 10, Jerry can’t help himself

Bengals/Lions/Eagles, and still think the Giants should all be in on those guys

....also I don't think you can COMPLETELY rule out Sewell to your Bengals. Reiff easily could be shifted inside still.

But I was bored the other night and watched some Sewell tape and if I am drafting any position other than QB, it would be him that I took. He is the best prospect by not even a small margin in this draft when you aren't looking at the QB's.

 

[Thomas Anderson]

Great News

I think they may have rolled the dice and stood pat hoping Lance gets to 13

could be Wilson, I’ve been assuming the Jets but it’s the Jets so you never know

Fields had a good year in 2020 and a mediocre year last year. I bet they are positioning themselves for a shot at Watson if Houston decides to let him go.

I doubt the Phins take Pitts. They already have a decent receiving TE that isn't a great inline option.

Gesicki was quietly a really good player down the stretch last year for them.

Pretty doubtful now considering the only real asset they have is 1 first rounder
