Revisiting the Vikings’ 2016 draft day trade with the Dolphins

In the 2016 draft, the Miami Dolphins traded up with the Minnesota Vikings to draft wide receiver Leonte Carroo in the third round, giving the Vikings a 2017 third-rounder, a 2017 fourth-rounder, and a 2016 sixth-rounder in exchange.

Now, a little over a year after giving up three draft picks to acquire Carroo, the Dolphins are reportedly considering cutting the second-year pro. While that news realistically has little to no impact on the Vikings, it certainly makes it interesting to revisit the trade and see where each side stands a year later.

At the time, the move to trade out of the third round in exchange for future picks was met with a lukewarm response.
