Who is your pick at 5? Maybe you said it and I scrolled past...but I'm going to look at your pock through the very lens you provided here.

The Miami Dolphins’ offseason is going to be filled with rumors and drama long before the team will have any answers on how their roster rebuild is going to come to life. And much of the buzz around the Dolphins is going to stem from breadcrumbs picked up along the way of what Miami is researching. The latest snippet surrounding the Dolphins’ quarterback search comes from Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller — who was told that Miami is doing their homework on Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert.

That's the tricky part of this time of year. Was that a smokescreen, or was this a smokescreen?

Is that so? Sounds like you're an insider. What's the Chargers opinion on Love?
I believe that if they were sold on Herbert they wouldn't need to do so much work on him. If Tua is there at 5 then he's the pick.
QB is less likely to work out than other positions you'd draft at 5, but, of course, the payoff is in a different stratosphere. The question is, Is the QB I'm taking at 5 a shot in the dark - like the QB's who will be available later - or does this QB have a real path forward? Herbert imo has one foot in the "shot in the dark" group and one in the "real path forward" group.
In a good situation, I'd expect him to look a lot like Tannehill in Tennessee. If you simplify the game for him, he can certainly make all the throws you want/need. But, you'll have games where his processing speed makes him look like a bum. It's not ideal, but it's at least something to work with. The biggest danger with Herbert is QB purgatory. If I'm drafting a QB like that, I'm going to be willing to upgrade. I'm drafting him to compete with whatever QB I have a shot at in 2021.

I think we're screwed at QB this year. May as well get surrounding talent this year, get a QB in the 5th or 6th round, and trade everything for Lawrence next year.

Said a while back as the season progressed and I watched a lot more college ball
I became less and less impressed with this QB class. I think they ALL have some
significant obvious warts are none are guaranteed top shelf NFL prospects IMO.
That said -- I would be disappointed if we burn our 1st R1 on a QB. Too many
top shelf prospects on the board and we need them!
In fact I'm totally OK rolling with Fitz and banking on the development of Rosen
and maybe grab a QB to develop somewhere around R3...
2020 is phase II of the rebuild and still a developmental year -- tho we should be
close to 500 ball. I'd like load up on the O this draft -- build the OL, RB, WR etc.
Give Fitz/Rosen some pass pro and a legit run game -- add weapons and score
points! I mean we just watched Thill win a playoff game! You can still win as a TEAM!

I was wondering if initial statement - QB less likely to work out at top 5 as opposed to other positions.
It’s an interesting discussion.
How do you evaluate this in light of Trubisky, Bortles... they should never have been picked- feel like that’s a universal given.
There have certainly been less Trent Richardson’s, Blackmons, Jordan’s, in last 5 years. It seems like top 5 have definitely been hitting higher rate.

Or maybe just maybe, they are doing their jobs and doing their due diligence? Or is that just too crazy of an idea.
I don't care for Herbert but we should absolutely be looking hard at every QB prospect this off season.
Please stop with the smokescreen non sense.
You gotta let this trade up for Lawrence thing go. No team is going to be able to do that, regardless of the assets available/offered. Doesn't matter if we acquire an extra 1 next year and offer all 3 1's and 2022's 1. It's going to be a hard no for whichever team lucks into the top pick.
That's a guarantee.
If we're talking 2021 QB then it's Fields and Tua (if he stays) that will cost an arm and a leg to move up for. Our pick will likely be in the teens. Houston's pick will likely be in the 20s.

Yeah... but not at QB.
