No. 2: Trade With The Miami Dolphins

Pick: 22

Value: 780

“Backing up the truck” is how someone would have to describe this trade:

  • 49ers trade second overall pick (2,600) to the Dolphins for their 22nd pick (780), second rounder — 54th pick (360), fifth rounder — 167th pick (24.6), 2018 first rounder (~3,000-590), 2018 second rounder (~580-270) and 2019 second rounder (~580-270).
  • The trade value sits at 1,164.6 before the future picks come in. The total value can reach as high as 5,324.6 and as low as 2,264.6.

Why do the Dolphins make this move? Like the Redskins, this team is built for now.

They have had a taste of the playoffs, and with the likes of Ryan Tannehill, Jay Ajayi and Ndamukong Suh, Miami has players to build around. They will be yearning to return to the playoffs and will look to add to their defense: Jonathan Allen, Reuben Foster and Tim Williams. The three will all be in play for the Dolphins at No. 2.

Meanwhile, the 49ers can sit back and feel giddy about upcoming drafts. And they still can address needs for them on defense from the 22nd pick — whether that be Michigan safety Jabrill Peppers, UCLA defensive end Takkarist McKinley or Washington cornerback Sidney Jones.
