It depends. The 5th isn't the same as the 2nd in terms of value, and the Bengals wouldn't have to drop back as far as Miami did, either. This all equals out to them getting a lot less for the pick than the Dolphins did, logically speaking. There's no way we'd get 3 firsts back in that deal. Now, if we could get their 1,2 and maybe a 3 or 4 plus something in 2022, it's something to think about.
Being able to pick between 2 or 3 of the true elite prospects in the draft might just be more valuable than the quantity you'd get back. There's no guarantee you get that chance if you go back to pick 8.
