Which I interpret to be the "maybe, but probably not" 3rd category which follows the euphemistic titles for "Sure Thing" and "Could Easily Happen" listings:

"A Change Is Gonna Come" - Jets, Cleveland, Denver, Buffalo, Arizona and

"Work Ahead" - Jacksonville, Wash, New Orleans, Minnesota

Miami Dolphins: The assumption is that the Dolphins will say goodbye to Jay Cutler and welcome Ryan Tannehill, who missed the entire 2017 season after undergoing surgery to fix his ACL, back into the fold. It's not so crazy to imagine coach Adam Gase instead looking to draft (or acquire) a hand-picked quarterback rather than staying with Tannehill, who was selected two Dolphins general managers ago.

I don't see it. Gase seems genuinely excited by Tannehill's potential...

Even so, I'd like for them to draft a guy in the 2nd or 3rd round to develop, even with all our holes.

No, not 2nd, but I'd accept 3-4th. For all the vitriol Gase gets as QB whisperer, Tannehill showed great improvement during the 2016 season. He HAS to know Fales/Doughty aren't the answer.

I agree...I would love to see Lamar Jackson fall to us in the 2nd or 3rd...mostly a pipe dream I know, but a dream worth having...
 
Didnt Gase rave that a large reason he came to Miami was to be able to work w/ Tannehill?

He is going to be the starter for the next few years, unless he regresses, which is unlikely. More like he will continue to improve in small areas.

Build a dominate D and we have a squad.


With that being said, Id prefer to draft a young QB in the later rounds and let go of MM.
 
If Ryan has no set backs before the draft, he is the undisputed starter and I even expect an extension to get done while you can still put some favorable terms on it. Will help with the cap hit.

That said, i would hope we draft a QB at some point during the first 4 rounds as we will need a backup and a guy with some development potential.
 
I think 2nd round is a great target area for a QB. I think a guy like Jackson or Josh Allen could be available early 2nd.
 
It's going to be Tannehill. No doubt several years. I've grudgingly accepted it. He's in that range that was logical based on his resume and skill set, and that I feared before we ever drafted him, that mid level tease area where you've got a split of coaches/fans/media on one side adjusting to the verge of greatness, while the other side tires of the trailer ride and prefers to aim for true greatness, even if meant a decline from our annual 6-10 wins.

Are Browns fans really that much worse off than we are? I have my doubts. That would be entertaining as heck. I'm at an age where entertainment means more than annual tedium.

I reject the calls for that cliche 2nd to 4th round quarterback. That's the one thing you don't want to do. It's the recent Jets method...the incredibly cautious and stupid half-maneuver, almost guaranteed to stall the franchise.

If we draft a quarterback we need to do it right -- first round. Make a commitment and don't worry about placing heat on Tannehill for the first time in his career. Otherwise you keep taking later round and free agent stabs until you stumble upon something special, instead of false hope in overmatched types who can't play like Fales and Doughty.

I believe the Tannehill era will eventually end with a very appropriate and long predictable thread, something like, "All Those Millions of Wasted Worthless Adjuster Words"
