What happened: The Miami Dolphins, on the clock in the 2026 NFL Draft, finalized a trade with the San Francisco 49ers. Details confirm Dolphins acquired the 49ers' No. 14 overall pick in exchange for their No. 20 pick and a 2027 third-rounder. This is the Dolphins' second trade today.

Why it matters: The move allows Miami to target a top edge rusher amid Tua Tagovailoa's contract extension push. San Francisco gains flexibility to address secondary needs post-2025 playoff exit.

By the numbers: Trade: MIA receives SF No. 14 (2026 Rd1); SF receives MIA No. 20 (2026 Rd1), MIA 2027 Rd3. 2025 records: Dolphins 11-6 (AFC East 2nd), 49ers 13-4 (NFC West 1st).

What to watch: Monitor Dolphins' selection at No. 14 and potential follow-up trades in Rounds 2-3.
