Dolphins trade 1st pick San Diego Chargers

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!

The swapped 4th round picks according to NFL.com real time draft listings. Chargers now pick 12th and Dolphins pick 28th. Who picked whose pocket again??

[Cam Cameron]

Why do any of you want us to take a WR? We've got Marshall, Bess, Camarillo and Hartline looks like he could be a solid No. 2.

[Mark in Toronto]

DAMN ATLANTA!

Who can't play in a 3 4 now???

[Rob NOVA]

Ithaca Phin Fan yo I grew up in Ithaca NY!!

[COWKILA]

THAT'S RIGHT .WE CAN PICK 40 AND 165

[AK]

Does Dan Williams fall to 28?

[paPhinsPhan]

jeez dan williams may slip all the way to 28. wouldnt that be value for you!

[kris]

My bad Leips,

Let me clarify. I THINK THAT WITH THE GIANTS PICKING JPP THEY WIS TRADE OSI UMENIORIA TO SOMEBODY FOR CHEAP...HOPEFULLY MIAMI

[mmmtravis]

God dammit. The Patriots are going to get Dez Bryant. GOd DAMMIT. GOD DAMMIT.

[swamysez]

The Big Tuna picks CODY and puts him the the Big Tuna diet.

He might be fat but he takes up two blockers! That's what they want!

Hartline is going to be our new Wes Welker....What's the blog's thoughts on a TE if one is availble early?

[NJ PHIN FAN]

Spoon is a excellent fit at OLB ( like i said ) in the 4-3 for the falcons.

[Mr mojorisin]

guys damn I'm good

INFO ON TIM DOBBINS:

http://www.chargers.com/team/roster/Tim-Dobbins/0e925a92-cd31-40b8-958d-22f26544a25f

In his stats you will notice he had two 11 tackle games last season so he could be a surprisingly nice pickup.

I think we spent our 6th rd pick on him. Not bad for a 6th rounder

[Mark in Toronto]

Texans = Jahvid Best or ???? Kindle???

[Robbyhenz]

If Belicheat gets Bryant, that'll make the Thomas non-pick more painful, but I'm over it; let's go Fins!

[Chase]

Will jermaine Gresham be there at 28?????

[Phins79]

Aloco as in A Loco Motherf---er, you're wrong, dead wrong. You couldn't be any more wrong. Do some reading up on players. Jason Taylor was a 3rd rounder, Zthomas was 5th, and thousands of other great and hallof fAME players taken in rnds 3 through 7. JasonFerguson was 7th rounder. Stop the ignorance

[Ithaca Phin Fan]

Sorry to hear that Rob NOVA... I mean.. cool man. haha

[bobbyd12]

Lots of news reports today called Miami to trade down to late 20s and pick Williams...might be

[Stra8balla]

If the Pats get there hands on Jhavid Best or Dez Bryant we should be very afraid. Smith and Davis stand no chance against moss...welker...and Bryant. That would give them the best wr core in the NFL hands down. Moss beasted Smith and Davis last year. Imagine Dez who is more physical and almost as fast running around in our secondary.

[Mr mojorisin]

houston maybe KYLE WILSON CB

[Tommy_A]

Sergio Kindle?!?

[F-Rod]

Tebow will be good, fellas. Keep hatin' hell do better w all that scrutiny.

[mikefins]

Michael Strahan (sp) 2nd round pick! There is tons of talent avaiable...we made a great trade!

[Jrljr2]

Belicheck won't take Bryant. I hope. I hope. Please take Gresham Bill, so I don't have to think what if for the next 10 years like I have with Randy moss.

[BlazzinAce]

Man I hope the New England doesn't get Dez Bryant!

[DyingBreed]

Tim Dobbins:

[aivan]

Either u don't read or just don't know anything about the draft...we also get a high 2nd round pick! 1st rounders are not the only starting potential players people! great move dolphins!

[Robbyhenz]

Bryant to Bengals.. Phewph

[Ask Bill Ruger]

Hard to believe some of the thinking I have read on hear... what... do you people think the talent stop at #12?.... I suppose the remaining 6 1/2 rounds are all for show... none of the players in the league have ever came after 12... For you JT homers... Go find where he was drafted or where Zack Thomas was drafted or Mark Clayton, then come back and tell everyone how ridiculous you have sounded in your posts.

[COWKILLA]

Whoever hijacked my name spelled it wrong you f"in waterhead....I'm out.. Too bad we got queens in here stealing names. That's why you hide behind others names because you are scared little children.

[Darryl Dunphy]

Rumor has it Denver may take Tebow. What is going on over there? I hope this is true !

[Armando Salguero]

I told you guys it was going to be a longer night for the Dolphins. The team just got a delivery of four more boxes of pizza to carry them through.

[Scooter]

Hey Bill Ruger- Tebow wants you-Or are you a bible thumper.

[Rob NOVA]

hahaha true that! thats why I moved.. did u go to IHS? what year

[boulderfinfan]

the good thing is we are still in front of the jets. Ha

[Ask Bill Ruger]

**here

[MaRk]

Why are paeopl insisting we take offense when we're already set there and have no starting nose tackle, no starting free safety, no starting OLBs? Are you people joking or just escapees from some mental hospital? Our defense was horrible last year and we lost players. Our offense was good and we picked up Marshall andd Incognito. Think for once in your life

[mikefins]

Tebow is a special player, would be great for our young team.

[bobbyd12]

Got depth behind Crowder at ILB, or did we replace Crowder with that trade??

[THUNDERBOLT]

Cody Bryant Williams still there!

[Mark in Toronto]

Bryant at 21 to cincy

[Jrljr2]

I'm from NE and they are saying the TE Gresham up here. K Jackson another reach just went.

[Cam Cameron]

I guess it won't be Gresham either.

[TarheelFootballPro]

There's a LOT of idiots in here that don't know JACK about drafting and building a team.
If you'd get your collective noses out of Mel Kiper's draft board butt and realize that getting 2 starters for next year is better than banking everything on one pick in first round and then hoping that the 3rd rounders work out. There are still lots of top grade picks left on the board and we are less than 10 picks away. I wouldn't even mind trading the #28 for a couple more picks in 2nd round.
Just wait and see who we are able to get before judging the entire draft a bust.

These draft "gurus" are clueless! Love it!

[San Antonio Phin Fan]

Mr mojorisin...swing and a miss...

[Robbyhenz]

If Dan Williams is there that'd b crazy luck for fins. Don't really know him, but tons of experts had fins taking him 12th

[Beerphin]

amazing trade hopefully we get J Odrick or S Weatherspoon at 28 and J Hughes K Misi 40th overall is great

[Ithaca Phin Fan]

Naw man, I'm a transplant. moved here for Cornell Grad.

[Fake GM]

This is a very, very deep draft. It was fantastic to pick up an extra 2nd round pick, great trade. Look at all the great players left.

[carlito from golfito]

Jerry Hughes!

Jerry Hughes!

Jerry Hughes!

Jerry Hughes!

Jerry Hughes!

[bobbyd12]

8 more left!!!

[The Dolphin That Goes Eek!]

It's going to be Bryant or Kindle - depending on whoever is available.

[orlando in orlando]

Scooter why so afraid of Bible thumpers?

[Mark]

gresham is gone
