The Miami exit from the first round of Thursday's NFL Draft was short-lived as the wheeling-and-dealing 'Phins made a splash back into day one of the draft festivities in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings.
The Dolphins will receive the Vikings 1st rounder Thursday (#23) and a 2016 5th rounder (#160).
Minnesota will receive Miami's 2nd round pick (#36 from San Diego), tackle Luke Joeckel, a 2016 3rd rounder (#124) and a 2017 6th rounder (from the New York Jets in an earlier trade for LeGarrette Blount).
Miami's front office obviously has their eye on a certain player or position, but the team was coy when asked.
"We could go a lot of different ways," the owner said. "We need depth at quarterback, wide receiver, and defensive tackle."
You do not trade into the first round for "depth," so Dolphins fans should be excited for whom the team targets at #23 on Thursday.
