Dolphins to draft a QB "on which the club's future hopes will rest"

[michael89156]

The Miami Herald expects the Dolphins to draft a quarterback "on which the club's future hopes will rest."

In other words, there's a good chance the Dolphins will use the No. 8 pick on a signal caller. Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill is by far the most obvious candidate, though it's quite possible he'll be gone by the time Miami is on the clock. If Tannehill is indeed the Dolphins' target, they'll likely have to trade up to assure they (finally) get their man.

I wonder if they coud be trade partners with the Bucs.

Dom did say he wasn't against trading his pick, and at #5 they'd certainly be able to draft RT.

I see your point Benchwarmer. But why trade for #5 when you posibly could trade to #6?

The Rams told the NFL they arent looking for a replacement for Bradford when they traded out of the top 2, So its not like the Dolphins have to trade with us to get right ahead of a team that doesnt need a quarterback.

Personally Im hoping for Claiborne in the first and Doug Martin in the second. If Claiborne is gone I might be allright with trading down to 8 for the right price.

As much as I want Claiborne at 5, I wouldn't mind trading back.  But I wonder who we'll select...maybe Kuechly or Barron??

Quick question, outside of Cleveland and Miami, which team are really looking at drafting a QB? If the Browns pass on Tannenhill at 4, what team is going to try a vault forward ahead of the Dolphins sitting at 8? I just can't see another QB needy team after all this QB movement over the last few days.

I wouldnt mind Kuechly if we dont sign any linebackers.

If you mean Barron the Bama safety, that would be the biggest reach in recent years. He is projected to go in the end of the first at the highest.

Minimum I'd take from Miami assuming Tannehill gets by Cleveland @4 is a swap of firsts this year, Miami's 3rd and next years #1.  I don't see the Phins making the deal though. Which team drafting behind Miami would be a threat to move up?  I don't see many trade back scenarios for the Bucs unless someone really want Blackmon, Richardson or a defensive player.

I'm really hoping that the Browns take Tannehill because that is going to leave either Claiborne or Kalil to the Bucs at 5

My cousin, a big Dolphin's fan, seems to think the Dolphin's (based on whatever papers and sites there are for the Dolphins), are going to try and trade down into the 20's and take Weeden.

Jacksonville - definitely
Arizona - maybe
Buffalo (perhaps) - though I think they're happy with Fitzpatrick.
Oakland - should be
Philadelphia - definitely

The question is how much is Tannehill wanted, is he a must have QB or will teams settle for Weeden, Oswieler or Cousins in the second..

[The Anti-Java]

Make that deal Dom.


Trade back for Reiff, Poe or Jenkins.

Don't know... we'll just have to wait and see.

Reiff maybe but no to Poe(workout warrior) and Jenkins(overrated and to much baggage) didn't we learn anything from Talib and Tanard yet. 

Now if you said Kuechly, Reiff or Krikpatrick then I'd agree with ya.

[The Anti-Java]

Hey... crazier things have happened.  Lets hope they fall in love with the guy between now and the draft.   I would trade back with Miami in a heartbeat.
