MIA is an interesting trade partner only because they have very few mid-round picks to give up in order to move up. They have 1 2nd rounder, 1 3rd rounder, ZERO 4th round picks but then 3 5th round picks and 2 7th round picks.
Pretty much reality is that they have to involve their 2nd round pick this year as part of the trade (or else a future high round pick or a player) in order to move up because the combined value of ALL the rest of their 2017 draft picks 3rd round and below (177 points) is FAR less than is needed to make the move from 1-22 to 1-15 (270 points).
The one trade scenario that I can come up with for 2017 draft picks only is:
MIA gives us: 1,269.4 points
1-22 (#22 overall; 780 points)
2-22 (#54 overall; 360 points)
3-33 (#97 overall; 112 points)
5-40 (#184 overall; 17.4 points)
IND gives them: 1,267.8 points
1-15 (#15 overall; 1,050 points)
3-16 (#80 overall; 190 points)
5-14 (#158 overall; 27.8 points)
So, we slide back in the 1st round (7 spots), 3rd round (17 spots) and 5th round (26 spots) while gaining an additional 2nd round pick (#54 overall).
Nothing else really works without them giving us future year picks or a player.
Having three picks in the top #54 (#22, #46, #54) would allow us to find someone at all three critical positions of need on the defense (CB, OLB, ILB) with kids talented enough to start from day one.
Would you do it if it meant losing out on Foster, Riddick, Garcon or White?

Sure, I'll play along (big IF that these guys would still be available though, gave my 1st and 2nd choices)
#22 - Charles Harris/Lamp/Jarrad Davis
#46 - Tim Williams/TJ Watt
#54 - Awuzie/Mixon
