If the Miami dolphins draft a qb in the first round. What should they do?

Personally I think that if they do draft a qb they should start tannehill one more year and let the rookie develop and become better, and then start him next year.

Ig Flores is who fans hope he is, he MAY be able to get to the playoffs with Tannehill. Personally, while I think Tannehill has the talent to be a good QB, I've not seen the mental talent Flores say he's looking for. Not good at pre-snap reads nor finding mismatches. Time to move on
 
I read that no team is willing to trade for Tanny. However, i think that it is a good idea to let a rookie set behind Tanny for a year or until he is ready to play. But, I would try to restructure Tanny’s contract and still look to draft another QB in 2020.
 
Tannehill is gone. Sounds like we were trying to shop him around at the combine but most teams see him as a back up and not worth that salary.
 
Step 1. Cut Tannehill and get his salary off our books and absorb whatever cap penalties. Step 2. Sign veteran stop gap to start 1 year. Step 3. Draft QB of the future. Step 4 Super Bowl.
 
I disagree with the veteran stop gap. If I'm trying to be bad to draft Tua, I want someone that will be young and will make more mistakes than a veteran will. Basically I'd take this year to find my backup QB for the future so I'm probably trying to draft a QB in the mid to late rounds and throw him into a QB competition with the QBs already on the roster. This way you could actually get really lucky and find someone that negates the need to even draft Tua putting you in a really good position.

But that isn't what's happening. 'Tank for Tua' is a myth. With a new coaching team and a raft of promising young players the damage that can be done by either being encouraged to intentionally lose would set us back longer than having to take Jake Fromm or Justin Herbert instead of Tua. We're going through a detox, purging our roster of bad contracts and not patching up holes with new bad contracts. One step back to take two forward. Nobody is intentionally aiming for 1-15 just to get the #1 pick.
 
The coaches and players can try and win all they want to. The GM is what is going to drive the ship on that and the losing will just happen organically. As a GM I'm not telling anybody else they should try to "tank", but I'm going to tie one hand behind their backs while I say it. If the team ends up going 6-10 like that Matt Moore year, everybody should be fired for trying to sabotage the franchise.

If you're going to do something, do it right.

The players and coaches aren't idiots, they will clearly know what's going on. Without honesty and transparency it's not exactly a great way for a new GM, new coaching team and young players to build a future together. In some cases the risk might be worth it, but we have inexperienced people from top to bottom and to risk the damage to them and their relationships with each other just to maybe have a shot at Tua is reckless. I mean if we were going to do that then why fire Adam Gase? Might as well have stitched him and his inept staff up and appointed a new coaching team next year instead.
 
we are moving on and that's good. Apparently no "hard" takers on 17. He will be cut imo.
 
Tannehill is done in Miami. They don’t want a guy that will get them enough wins to pick outside the top ten without making the playoffs. That’s been a recurring theme. Not only that the fans won’t tolerate another year of him and his inflated contract. Cut him and eat the dead money in 2019. The season is a wash anyways.

I’d rather role with Ruddock or Fales and win 2 games than watch another season of 6 or 7 wins with a QB that has no natural playmaking instincts and doesn’t go off script.
