The interesting twist to all of this is that Nick and the scouts are working out other draftable quarterbacks as well....quarterbacks that will be drafted on the first day. He's certainly sending out signals that he is very interested in quarterbacks right now. What he's doing is covering all his bases. He's going to take into account what he has seen in Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith, and he's going to compare that to what he has seen in Charlie Frye, Jason Campbell, and David Greene. I think you will probably see Miami work out Kyle Orton, Andrew Walter, and probably Dan Orlovsky as well before the draft. After the comparisons, if Nick thinks that there isn't much of a drop off from Rodgers/Smith to Campbell/Frye/Greene, then he may not go with a quarterback at that second pick. If he feels there is a big drop off, then it is very likely that he will go with the quarterback at that second pick.
The Dolphins have also shown interest in several runners as well though. They will have Carnell Williams and Ronnie Brown in this week for a private team workout. They had scouts at Cedric Benson's workout, and I believe you will see them bring Benson in to Miami for a workout as well. They watched with a close eye as Ciatrick Fason and Vernand Morency worked out. Rick Spielman scouted Kay Jay Harris in person several times during the season.
