Dolphins acquire No. 6 pick from Eagles for No. 12, 2022 1st

The Philadelphia Eagles traded the No. 6 and No. 156 overall picks in the 2021 draft to the Miami Dolphins for selections No. 12, No. 123, and a 2022 first-rounder, the Eagles announced Friday.

The Dolphins reportedly acquired the No. 12 pick earlier in the day in a blockbuster deal with the San Francisco 49ers. In addition to its first-rounder this year, San Francisco sent Miami its next two firsts and a 2022 third in exchange for the No. 3 selection.

Miami sent Philadelphia its own 2022 first-rounder, not the one it received from San Francisco, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The Eagles also tried to acquire the No. 3 pick but only would've made the move if they could land BYU quarterback Zach Wilson, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport later clarified that while Philadelphia liked Wilson, it ultimately decided moving back and gaining more assets was a better team-building strategy.

Wilson is the favorite to be selected by the New York Jets at No. 2, with Trevor Lawrence widely expected to be the Jacksonville Jaguars' pick first overall.

Philadelphia could potentially own three first-rounders next season, depending on the conditions of the trade that sent Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts will reportedly send the Eagles a first-rounder instead of a second if the quarterback plays 75% of the Indy's snaps this upcoming season or 70% and qualifies for the playoffs.
