Ending up with John Beck would make me unhappy.
Actually, Beck didn't sound so bad after I read this yesterday:
First-time dad John Beck expected a steady stream of well-wishers on the day his son was born, but one call surprised the BYU quarterback.
Dolphins General Manager Randy Mueller took a minute on Easter Sunday to congratulate Beck, who could be a Miami draft pick this weekend.
Mueller's personal touch had the feel of a college recruiter who becomes involved in a player's daily life, not a GM who spends his days wheeling and dealing with multimillionaires.
"He knows what's going on well enough in my life to know when our baby comes," Beck said. "That's keeping up."
Mueller isn't about to miss a beat as he assumes charge of the Dolphins' opursuit to replace Hall of Famer Dan Marino, whose retirement after the 1999 season has been followed by a parade of unsuccessful passers.
Beck may not be the answer, but he has been a hot topic of conversation between Mueller and first-year Dolphins coach and longtime quarterback guru Cam Cameron, who together visited Beck last month in Provo, Utah.
Beck, who completed nearly 70 percent of his passes and threw for 32 touchdowns and just eight interceptions for last season's 11-2 BYU team, has steadily moved up on mock draft boards.
The 6-foot-2, 216-pounder is one of the top options among a group of quarterbacks behind likely top-5 picks JaMarcus Russell of LSU and Brady Quinn of Notre Dame.
"He has great feet in the pocket and an innate feel for how to keep a play alive, and I think he actually sees windows before they open up, which is atypical of a college player," said Mike Mayock, a former NFL defensive back and draft analyst for the NFL Network.
