The Splash Zone 4/13/23: Should the Dolphins consider trading down?

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

NFL: Combine Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

The Miami Dolphins have a total of four picks in the upcoming NFL Draft and they don’t have a pick till the second round (#51). At that selection, the team has a pretty good chance of picking a rookie that could end up being a key contributor this upcoming season. Trading back a little would be ideal to add some more picks, but if the team likes a certain player and he is there, then pull the trigger and take him. If a team offers a good deal to trade up, go ahead and consider it.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
