Dolphins Have Been Desperately Trying To Trade For The No. 1 Overall Pick To Take Joe Burrow

The Cincinnati Bengals are locked in on taking LSU quarterback Joe Burrow with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft but that isn’t stopping the Miami Dolphins from trying to get him.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Dolphins have made “multiple calls” to the Bengals to try to trade up to No. 1 but have been denied on several occasions:

Over the last couple of weeks, the Dolphins called the Bengals on more than one occasion to see if Cincinatti would be willing to trade the No. 1 overall pick. The Dolphins were told, in no uncertain terms, no. Cincinnati would not trade the pick and would stay put at No. 1.
