The night just got longer for the Dolphins. And their quiver of arrows to use in this draft just got more full.
They have traded the No. 12 overall selection in the first round to San Diego for No. 28 overall. The Dolphins also gave up their fourth round pick (110 overall) and a sixth round pick (173 overall).
The Dolphins got the San Diego second-round pick, No. 40 overall, and a fourth round pick (126 overall). There is also a rumor, unconfirmed, the Dolphins got linebacker Tim Dobbins.
Dobbins is now oficially confirmed as coming to the Dolphins.
The Chargers used the pick to select RB Ryan Mathews of Fresno State.
Miami's pick will now come around 10:30 p.m.
The Dolphins have a total of 10 picks now in this draft. As I wrote today, this helps Miami pick up not one starter in a deep draft, but two starters in a deep draft.
I like it!

Awesome move Tuna, thats a huge move that will net us a 2nd and more!
Lots of value at 28th. Kindle may still be there, Hughes, etc.
I LOVE IT

Posted by: Dallasphinfan | April 22, 2010 at 08:53 PM
Its a good trade, 28 and 40 and the other one.
Posted by: MaCo | April 22, 2010 at 08:53 PM
we might end up with two line backers back to back
Posted by: FinFan In Orlando | April 22, 2010 at 08:53 PM
A 2nd and 4th round pic, talk about stacking up. I still really liked Thomas.
Posted by: Goose | April 22, 2010 at 08:54 PM
That's a good trade. Looking at getting 2 good players at the 28 and 8 from round 2
Posted by: Mark in Toronto | April 22, 2010 at 08:54 PM
Means that we got Brandon Marshall for a (low, I hope) secound round pick.
Very Nice job.

Two more very good players for the Dolphins in the second and fourth. this is really getting good value wise for the Fins!!
Posted by: Jrljr2 | April 22, 2010 at 08:54 PM

Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | April 22, 2010 at 08:54 PM
Great trade.
Posted by: Litos | April 22, 2010 at 08:55 PM
Im sure one of the OLBs will still be there at 28.
Posted by: MaCo | April 22, 2010 at 08:55 PM
cody for the pick, watch out pat white!!!
Posted by: nick | April 22, 2010 at 08:55 PM
Ouu, Mando's son coming off the board
Posted by: Mark in Toronto | April 22, 2010 at 08:55 PM
hell yeah, now we'll get two starting LB's!
Posted by: TexBacca | April 22, 2010 at 08:55 PM
Apparently Denver wants no one to play for them.
Posted by: Pbrown | April 22, 2010 at 08:55 PM
That places us right in the thick of it fellas... all those holes we've been sweating.... filler up!!!!! Great Job.... this is So much better then any one player..
Posted by: Ask Bill Ruger | April 22, 2010 at 08:55 PM
I love the marshall trade even more now
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM
Check out Ethan Skolnick's blog - much better and he knows what's going on, unlike Mando.
Posted by: jim | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM
What a terrific trade.
Posted by: Cam Cameron | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM
I love it, great move. I would have liked 24 and 37 from philly, but I'll take it. this is a deep draft!
Posted by: Sed | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM
A VERY EARLY second
Posted by: Belchos | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM
This also tells me the tuna likes Kindle or Hughes. One or both could be there at 28.
Posted by: Jrljr2 | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM
Take Tebow and trade out White
Posted by: Dolfan4life | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM

Posted by: JerseyPhins | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM
I think Mount Cody is back in the picture, along with Jerry Hughes, Kindle (if he's there), and Kyle Wilson
Posted by: paPhinsPhan | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM
Lots of happy people, some upset about not grabbing Thomas...lots more party time added tonight!!!
Posted by: bobbyd12 | April 22, 2010 at 08:56 PM
What an offseason this has been for Miami, looking at 4 instant starters brought in.
Dansby
Marshall
and the top 2 picks
Posted by: Mark in Toronto | April 22, 2010 at 08:57 PM
Whaaaat??? Sorry Mando..
Posted by: Robbyhenz | April 22, 2010 at 08:57 PM
Didn't see that coming
Posted by: Pbrown | April 22, 2010 at 08:57 PM
Chill all you doubters.....this is a SWEET move (as long as there are no more Pat White-type experiments they need to get out of their systems).
Good number of picks un a deep draft........and obviously, just like many of us, they had no real "WE Gotta have....X" feeling----esp since all the possibles were on the board).
Posted by: The Seer | April 22, 2010 at 08:57 PM
Holy Shyt!!! Graham!!
Posted by: bobbyd12 | April 22, 2010 at 08:57 PM
Danm. There goes the first one. Can you believe Derrick Morgan is still on the board?
Posted by: MaCo | April 22, 2010 at 08:57 PM
They're goes Mando's son off the board
