All these trades reported around Miami's Pick (1 Viewer)

I see all these trades happenning or being rumored in the top 7, and then at the 10th spot to Houston, yet Miami is not involved at all. Is the #9 that irrelavent, is Miami a hard team to trade with (now with Mueller at the Helm), or are the Dolphins standing Pat for a reason?

If the fins could get a lower #1 with a #2 (giving them 3 this year) as well as a 2nd or third next year, they could still get a Joe Staley or Drew Staton rather than a Brady Quinn or Levi Brown. The only position where there is a real dropoff in Talent is at the DT. Wonder if that may be where Miami is headed.

The short answer is that Miami doesn't want to trade down because they're interested in Quinn, and that will likely require them to trade up to get him, with Washington at the 1.06 for example.
