The Miami Dolphins acquired rookie offensive weapon Lynn Bowden Jr. from the Las Vegas Raiders for a Day 3 pick swap, the team announced Saturday. The Raiders receive a fourth-round pick from Miami while sending back a sixth-round selection.
Bowden, a third-round pick out of Kentucky who primarily played running back in training camp for the Raiders, may get a shot to play receiver in Miami. He was thought of as a versatile playmaker, potential slot receiver and returner coming out of the draft. Bowden played quarterback, slot receiver and running back in college -- and he had 1,816 yards from scrimmage in his final year.
