The Cincinnati Bengals have turned away multiple inquiries from the Miami Dolphins in recent weeks about trading the first overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Miami currently owns three first-round picks (Nos. 5, 18, and 26), and a league-high 14 selections overall.

The Dolphins have reportedly been in contact with the teams above them and are gauging the price of moving up to the Detroit Lions' third overall pick in order to potentially select an offensive tackle.

It was reported earlier in April that Dolphins general manager Chris Grier and head coach Brian Flores "are very much against trading the farm" to the Bengals in order to land quarterback Joe Burrow.

Burrow is widely expected to be the first overall selection in this year's draft as the top prospect in an upper tier of quarterbacks that also features Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert.
