As for thread topic, I would say that I have ENTERTAINED the idea that Miami could take a quarterback at pick 11. That's intentional word choice, because it implies that I'm just amusing myself.
In all seriousness, they're not taking one. Very little chance. Very, very little. They're 100% sold on Tannehill. It's tough to take a 1st round QB when you're sold on your starter. The argument that the backup QB spot is that important, see 2017, may make some sense, but it's a stretch. A big stretch.
The ONLY scenario where this happens, is they get stuck between a rock and a hard place, presented with a guy they rated high, not having any inkling of a clue that he'd make it to their pick, and then when it's their turn they're faced with having to explain to everyone in the room, the owner, scouts, coaches, even themselves, that the guy who is up there on war room draft board very clearly marked ahead of everyone else as the best player available, is not going to be their pick. That's hard to explain, no matter what the position is.
In other words, to end up taking a quarterback, they would need to get Laremy Tunsil'd.
So it's possible. The question is, which quarterback?
Adam Gase will like Josh Allen and I think he'll hit some of Dan Marino's erogenous zones as well. But even they will not like how he's played in bigger games against better defenses, and I can see Grier and Tannenbaum killing the guy on the much argued about accuracy issues.
I think the staff will like Baker Mayfield, possibly Grier as well. But Adam Gase hates the spread. Hates it. I don't know that I have ever seen him seriously entertain a short quarterback, and it could be because his system demands too much in the shallow areas of the field between the numbers. To whatever extent Gase has a relationship with Kliff Kingsbury, he's going to get an earful from Kliff about Mayfield's time at Texas Tech, and the way it ended.
The guy I come back to, though...the guy that I think every single voice in that room is going to agree is a good quarterback prospect...is Josh Rosen. Adam Gase will adore the way Rosen operates from the pocket. Dan Marino will like him. The staff will like him (I already know this to be true). Grier will like him. Everyone will like him. And I could see them being pretty damned convinced that there's no way in hell he makes it to pick 11.
But then...what if he does?
When I *entertain* this line of thinking, that's the thought that preoccupies me, most of the time.
