I do see where you are coming from. I'm just not sure there's that big of a talent drop from the top three perceived best quarterbacks. The toughest part of the evaluation on college quarterbacks is looking at the talent around them and judging apples to apples per se. I mean, what would Eason look like in LSU's offense, or Alabama's? We don't know obviously.
Now, if Miami's scouts are convinced that it's only Tua, Burrow or Herbert then, by all means, trade up if you have to. My thoughts all along are you need a top 10 caliber quarterback to have success in the NFL.
But if the Dolphins think it's four or five quarterbacks, the team could draft a potential elite tackle like Thomas, take say Eason with that second number one, Swift with the Houston pick and really start building that offense.
Just a thought, with the caveat that you may right. I'm certainly no scout.
