Last week, the world watched as the Dolphins made a blockbuster trade with the San Francisco 49ers to move down nine spots in exchange for a war chest of picks. But that wasn’t all. Instead, Chris Grier followed that move up with another trade, acquiring the 6th-overall pick from the Philadelphia Eagles.
It was a wild turn of events, but not one that was entirely unexpected. After all, we knew the Dolphins would be working the phones to trade down. But out of the top-10? That seemed like a risk if the goal was to land one of the draft’s top pass-catchers.
