They would probably have to remain at #1 to do this though given the fact the Rams would probably draft J Long. Left Tackle is a difficult position to fill and the Fins need one........bad. I don't think the Dallas trade happens. This one draft will not fix all the Dolphins problems. So get what you can......a solid left tackle - a solid cover cornerback, an offensive guard, a wide receiver or two, and if you get that, be happy. The Dolphins problems will not be fixed in one season. I would rather the Dolphins remain in the top five and draft Jake Long.

If we did however I would never draft Kenny Phillips. He is really slow, I believe Chris Long ran a similar 40 time and he's 270 lbs. Trading down would be great but I just don’t see it happening.
