A series of blockbuster trades between the Miami Dolphins, the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles have had major changes to the 2021 NFL Draft order.

The top of the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft order looks completely different after the Miami Dolphins made a pair of trades with the San Francisco 49ers and then the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday afternoon.

While all three still have a top-12 pick in, the order in which they are picking in has changed drastically. San Francisco moved up from No. 12 to No. 3 in a massive trade with the Dolphins. Not long after that first deal was struck, Miami used the 49ers’ former No. 12 pick to move up to No. 6 in another blockbuster deal, this time with the Eagles.

NFL Draft order after Dolphins, Eagles, 49ers trades

  1. Jacksonville Jaguars
  2. New York Jets
  3. San Francisco 49ers (from Houston Texans via Miami Dolphins)
  4. Atlanta Falcons
  5. Cincinnati Bengals
  6. Miami Dolphins (from Philadelphia Eagles)
  7. Detroit Lions
  8. Carolina Panthers
  9. Denver Broncos
  10. Dallas Cowboys
  11. New York Giants
  12. Philadelphia Eagles (from San Francisco 49ers via Miami Dolphins)
  13. Los Angeles Chargers
  14. Minnesota Vikings
  15. New England Patriots
  16. Arizona Cardinals
  17. Las Vegas Raiders
  18. Miami Dolphins
  19. Washington Football Team
  20. Chicago Bears
  21. Indianapolis Colts
  22. Tennessee Titans
  23. New York Jets (from Seattle Seahawks)
  24. Pittsburgh Steelers
  25. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Los Angeles Rams)
  26. Cleveland Browns
  27. Baltimore Ravens
  28. New Orleans Saints
  29. Green Bay Packers
  30. Buffalo Bills
  31. Kansas City Chiefs
  32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

With the 49ers moving up from No. 12 to No. 3, it is clear they are looking to draft a quarterback, regardless of Jimmy Garoppolo still being under contract. Depending on what the New York Jets want to do at No. 2, the Atlanta Falcons’ No. 4 pick may become the next top-five pick to be dealt. Teams like the Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos could be looking quarterback.

For now, this is what the top-32 picks look like as we creep ever closer to the 2021 NFL Draft.
