How the Dolphins and Cowboys draft day trade went down – The Splash Zone 5/5/26

We got a behind the scenes look at how the trade between the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys went down during the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Cowboys traded up one spot to select Caleb Downs while the Dolphins ended up with two fifth round picks. Initially it was only going to be one fifth round pick and the clip shows that Miami was going to stay put. The Dolphins ended up selecting Kadyn Proctor and it sounds like he was going to be the pick over Downs anyway. But Dallas coveted Downs enough to add that extra fifth to move and get their guy.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
