What exactly does Miami need revenge on us for?
It's actually the "Thank You Kyle" game because without Kyle most of these UDFA and castoffs like McDaniel, Sherfield, Mostert, Jeff Wilson would've been cut and out of the league.
Just heard on KNBR that the current Mia team was made by possible by Trey Lance and the 3 number 1s we sent them. They should be thanking us !
1st Rd picks from the Niners:
2021 - Jaylen Waddle
2022- Traded for Tyreek Hill
2023- Traded for Bradley Chubb
Mia turned those picks into sure fire pro bowlers. Now they get a reliable back in Wilson that understands the system and can cover a fragile Mostert.
This keeps getting floated around today and is extremely misleading. It took much more then just those picks to acquire those players.
Maybe it's over simplified and happened over many months, but without the Trey Lance trade they wouldn't have these specific 3 players.
Maybe, maybe not.
2021 - Dolphins select Waddle at 3
2022 - Dolphins trade their first plus more for Hill
2023 - Dolphins don't cheat and use their first for Chubb.
Waddle was a swap pick so meh, they could have picked him at 3 if they really wanted to.
That same draft they sent a 2022 first to the Eagles to move up to 6 from 12. That could have covered Hill.
They were dumb enough to get caught tampering and lost their own 2023 first they could have used for Chubb.
So yeah, it can be over simplified to the Trey trade, but that's not to say the Dolphins couldn't have pulled it off without it either if they really wanted (and weren't caught cheating).
