The biggest question remains what happens after the top two picks. Who between the Chargers and Dolphins will trade up to draft a quarterback, whether that’s Oregon’s Justin Herbert or Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa? Will the Giants or Lions be willing trade partners to help them out? That will be answered soon enough. In the meantime, here’s our latest mock draft of the first round. 1. Cincinnati Bengals: QB Joe Burrow, LSU. There’s no chance the Bengals actually let him slip by and trade back. Right? 2. Washington Redskins: EDGE Chase Young, Ohio State. Ron Rivera is strangely comfortable with Kyle Allen if Dwayne Haskins doesn’t work out. Adding another QB into the mix seems unlikely. 3. Detroit Lions: CB Jeff Okudah, Ohio State. After trading Darius Slay, the Lions signed Desmond Trufant, but that’s not enough, especially since Okudah is probably the best player available here. ** TRADE ** Dolphins get: Giants first-round pick (No. 4), fifth-round pick (No. 150) and seventh-round pick (No. 248), 2021 sixth-round pick Giants get: Dolphins first-round pick (No. 5), second-round pick (No. 56), fourth-round pick (No. 141) and 2021 fourth-round pick *** 4. Miami Dolphins (via Giants): QB Justin Herbert, Oregon. The Dolphins have to compete with the Chargers’ desire for a quarterback, too, and the Giants are in the sweet spot. It’s a lot to give up for one slot, but they might have to pony up to stave off Los Angeles. This is just a guess, but with the lack of medical testing or private workouts with Tua Tagovailoa due to the coronavirus, it wouldn’t be surprising if a team fell more in love with Herbert. 5. New York Giants (via Dolphins): OT Tristan Wirfs, Iowa. Dave Gettleman has never traded back in the first round before so it’s always a risk projecting him to change his nature. Still, if the Giants were ever going to trade back to accumulate more picks, this is the year to do it especially with offensive line being their biggest need and three potential studs (Wirfs, Mekhi Becton, Jedrick Wills) on the board. Wirfs is an athletic freak with the versatility to play left tackle, right tackle or guard. He’ll start right away |
I would make the trade with miami even if it meant taking less as it assures of getting whoever we would have drafted at 4 while still picking up more draft picks.
It will be real interesting to see how it will all play out especially with teams unable to attend pro days or have personal visits
Now will this sweeten other offers?
Your preference, Wirfs or Wills?
If Miami absolutely must have Tua, they make the deal. But if they have balls, they could bet (fairly safely, IMO) that once again DG won't trade down (or at least not very far).
Then it's a chess match.
Could DG have an actual offer from a team lower than Miami that he would name on the phone to the Miami GM?
Could DG bluff Miami into thinking he has an offer from a team lower than Miami (that he doesn't name). And would Miami buy it?
Does any of that sound like DG to anyone here?
It doesn't to me.
+1
If they get a 2nd round pick for moving back a spot and a higher 4th, run to the podium for Simmons. We can get ER and OL in the 2nd round, the OL with first round grades not worthy of a top 5 pick. Simmons, Okwara and Jones/Jackson/Cleveland would be ideal.
I think IF there is competition between Miami and one of Chargers or Panthers we can do BETTER THAN 56. We can probably get their early 2nd at 36 or even their late 1st @26. They have 3 first round picks and giving up the late 1 gives them a definitive edge over everyone else. Does Detroit pass us Okudah or Simmons for a Miami late 1? If not then we are in the driver's seat potentially.
Agreed!
Nailed it. Miami specifically said at end of year we will use our draft capital for a QB or something to that effect.
Unfortunately I think Detroit gets the windfall not us. Detroit still gets Okudah or Simmons if they drop to 5. They only need to get past us. And we may be taking the OT.
Maybe we late third with 2nd rd grade
2 fourths safety and another ER or cover lb
No brainer.

DG also publicly stated "we're open for business" on that #4 pick. Does that sound like DG? Nope. But he said it.
Question is, can he negotiate that out?
Word
I don't want Simmons at #4 or near there.
