Dolphins and Colts

What Miami received: Evan Boehm and a conditional draft pick for a conditional draft pick

Following the trade with the Vikings, the Dolphins quickly announced a 2nd trade, this one with the Indianapolis Colts.

Unlike the trade with the Vikings, this trade didn’t involve the Dolphins giving up any draft capital or any players. Instead, the Dolphins swapped picks with the Colts for Evan Boehm. What round the picks were is unknown but it sounds as though the Dolphins may be giving the Colts a 6th round pick and receiving a 7th in return.

Why this may work: Boehm was a former 4th round pick of the Cardinals and has spent three years in the NFL. He has 13 starts under his belt and can play both guard and center giving the Dolphins some versatile depth. It is not clear if the Dolphins view him as a potential starter.

Why this may not work: Similar to the situation with Isidora, Boehm doesn’t make the Dolphins offensive line any better than they were prior to the trade. He has value due to his versatility and considering he has some starting experience, he could adjust quickly if he is needed to start.
