The latest NFL Draft blockbuster trade has a chance to either really help or really hurt the Miami Dolphins

The number of names that the Giants are tied to coincides with a recent comment from NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero that there was a split inside their building on what to do with the No. 5 overall pick. Conveniently enough for Giants decision-makers, they can now get two of the aforementioned named in the top-10! That is good news and also, potentially, good news for the Dolphins. It depends on what the Giants’ intentions with the 10th overall pick are.

If New York ends up highly coveting Tyson as their preferred choice with one of those selections, that is a win for the Dolphins. It firmly puts two wide receivers in position to go in the first 10 picks. And while Miami does indeed need wide receiver help, the roster feels likely to get attention elsewhere early in this draft. Especially when you consider Tyson going before Miami picks removes a player with durability questions off the board for a Miami team that sorely needs to be hoarding durable football players.

May hurt the Dolphins, too

The other side of this coin would have the Giants going offensive line. The Miami Dolphins are at risk of seeing another tackle off the board by their pick at No. 11 overall. The two primary offensive tackle spots in the top-10 before this trade included Arizona at No. 3 and Cleveland at No. 6. Now, with New York owning two picks, they could get a defensive stalwart and also secure a mauler to play up front for John Harbaugh.

So this one could break either way. If New York drafts Tyson this week, the Lawrence trade is a win for the Dolphins. If the Giants draft, say, Francis Mauigoa? Well…not so much.
