Dolphins Considering Trade Options for No. 13

Friday, April 22

According to ESPN.com's James Walker, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said that "all options are on the table" with regard to potentially trading the No. 13 overall pick.

Dolphins vice president Mike Tannenbaum confirmed that discussions have taken place, and he suggested that trading up or trading down are both viable options, per Walker.

Miami previously held the No. 8 overall selection, but it traded that pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for the No. 13 pick, linebacker Kiko Alonso and cornerback Byron Maxwell.

The Dolphins went 6-10 last season and missed the playoffs for the seventh straight year. They will be under new leadership in 2016, however, with Adam Gase taking over as head coach.

Miami has several needs on both sides of the ball, with running back, offensive line, cornerback and linebacker standing out above all else.

While a strong prospect at one of those positions should be available at No. 13, the Dolphins could potentially get an elite player by moving up, or they could stockpile depth by moving down.

Miami has a particularly big hole in the backfield, after losing running back Lamar Miller in free agency and having its offer sheet to C.J. Anderson matched by the Denver Broncos. 

That makes Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott of particular interest, and trading up may be the only way to get him.

The Dolphins have no shortage of options, which puts them in a position of strength, but after being a non-factor in the AFC East for so long, they cannot afford to miss on this year's first-rounder, regardless of where they end up picking.
