The Dolphins are planning to select a quarterback in the 2018 draft, and the club is even amenable to drafting a signal-caller in Round 1, according to Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald.
Miami, of course, had planned to utilize Ryan Tannehill as its starting quarterback for the sixth consecutive season, but were forced to sign the retired Jay Cutler after Tannehll suffered a torn ACL during training camp. Cutler, 35, finished just 21st in passer rating and 25th in adjusted net yards per pass attempt as the Dolphins posted a 6-10 record.
Given the timeline of Tannehill’s injury, he should be ready for the start of the 2018 campaign. The Dolphins have committed to Tannehill as their starting quarterback for next season, but they haven’t ruled out re-signing Cutler to serve as a backup. However, Cutler would almost surely have to accept less than the $10MM he received for the 2018 season. Cutler, who had originally agreed to serve as a commentator for FOX Sports before inking a deal with Miami, has indicated he wants to play in 2018.
The Dolphins own the No. 11 pick in the first round of April’s draft, so they may not have a shot at Sam Darnold (USC) or Josh Rosen (UCLA) without trading up. However, other options such as Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma), Josh Allen (Wyoming), and Lamar Jackson (Louisville) could be available.
Stay away from Mayfield
People said the same about drew brees
For completely different reasons. There were no concerns about Brees’ character.
No one is questioning Mayfield’s talent, its his character. Talent wise I think he should be fine as long as his game turns into more Russell Wilson than Johnny Manziel (scramble when you need to, but don’t rely on your legs).
Why??? Not the biggest area of need
They need a running back since the one they had is now in nfc game
Drake is a better back than Ajayi and he doesn’t have the knee issues. P.S. I like Ajayi but it’s the truth.
