The Miami Dolphins are STILL on the clock! (MERGED DISCUSSION ON 1st overall pick)
I was listening to Sirius radio today, and on The End Zone they were discussing this topic.
Ross Tucker said that he could see a situation in a couple of years where a team like the
Dolphins would actually give up a 7th round pick in order to trade DOWN out of the 1st
overall pick. That's how messed up the rookie contract structuring has become.
He thought it was unlikely that Miami would "pass" on the 1st pick this year, but they did
entertain the possibility that they could, and then laughed at the scenario where Atlanta
might not want to pay an extra $8 million guaranteed to sign the guy they have slotted at #2.
