Eagles Trade Pick No. 164 To Dolphins

The Eagles have traded down in this fifth round for the second time, this time moving out of the No. 164 slot and opening the door for the Dolphins to move up and select offensive lineman Isaac Asiata out of Utah.

It’s a two-pronged trade between these teams. The Eagles also unloaded the No. 194 pick to the Fins, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. They will receive pick 166 and the Dolphins’ compensatory selection (No. 184) that doubles as the fifth round’s final pick.

Philly initially held pick No. 155 but dealt it to the Titans to begin this mini-spree.

David Njoku, Forrest Lamp To Slide?

For weeks, Miami tight end David Njoku and Western Kentucky guard Forrest Lamp have often been projected as middle first round picks. It appears both players could fall further than expected based on what Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com is hearing. David Njoku (vertical)

The Dolphins have been connected to Lamp for some time, but as Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald reported on Wednesday, Miami has cooled on the idea of taking him at No. 22. Instead, they’re expected to target defensive help. If the right guy isn’t there, Pauline hears that they may trade down if the opportunity arises. They’ll instead focus on guards in round two and their target there could be Utah’s Isaac Asiata, Pauline hears. At 6’3″ and 323 lbs, teams like his potential on the interior line.

Njoku could be a target of the Lions at No. 21, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com hinted earlier today, and it sounds like he’ll be available based on the word Pauline is getting.
