Miami Dolphins: Chris Long, DE/OLB, Virginia
Before I talk about this selection, I want to address the rumor that Dallas is interested in the No. 1 overall pick. It's not happening. And while I think Jerry Jones is really interested in Darren McFadden, he doesn't need to move all the way up the draft board. A swap with the Rams would make more sense, though that's just almost as unlikely. Dallas would just have to give up too much. The Saints suffered for years after dealing all of their picks for Ricky Williams. It's just not worth it. Moving on...

In my last update, I wrote, "Is there any doubt now that Chris Long is the No. 1 overall selection? Long had an outstanding combine, even though he was frustrated with some of his stellar numbers because he knew he could do better. Long is a perfect fit for Miami's dreadful defense, and seems like a Bill Parcells guy."

Well, I am starting to question this now. In the words of Emmitt Smith, "Vernon Gholston blowed up at his combine." Seriously - Gholston ran in the 4.5s and notched a 42-inch vertical. There's a very good chance Miami takes him first overall. For the time being, I'll still have Long here because I want to see his Pro Day results. But I'm seriously thinking about putting Gholston atop my mock.

There are rumors that the Dolphins could go quarterback here, but all of those seem to stem from Mike "I want to have Matt Ryan's babies" Mayock, a Boston College guy who allegedly has ties to the Ryan family. Mayock is an outstanding draft analyst, but I disagree with his belief that Ryan will be drafted first. I don't think Parcells is planning to be around for a long time, so I'm not sure if he's willing to have the patience to sit through a young quarterback's developmental process. He'll likely pursue a veteran free agent this or next offseason, and draft a signal caller in the middle rounds. And besides, why would the Dolphins pass on Brady Quinn last year for John Beck, and not give Beck a full season as a starter?

St. Louis Rams: Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State
First, I boldly predicted the Rams would go with Vernon Gholston prior to the Combine, stating that Gholston would obviously tear it up in Indianapolis because he's a workout warrior. Last week, I was happy I made that projection, as Gholston ran a 4.64, benched 225 pounds 37 times, and had had vertical and broad jumps of 35.5 inches and 10'5", respectively.

Now, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind Gholston gets picked second, unless, of course, Miami chooses him first overall. Gholston somehow increased his phenomenal numbers at his Pro Day, recording a 4.58 40 and notching a breath-taking 42-inch vertical.

Besides the fact that Gholston had an incredible combine and Pro Day, this selection just makes too much sense. St. Louis needs to address its pass rush. Thanks to Leonard Little (who turns 34 in October) missing nine games and James Hall being a bust acquisition, the team didn't have a defensive end with more than two sacks last year. That's just pathetic.

Furthermore, there are rumors that defensive coordinator Jim Haslett wants to switch to a permanent 3-4 (the Rams played the 3-4 in some situations last year). If that's the case, Gholston would be a perfect fit for the Rams' new scheme because he can slide into the pass-rushing linebacker position. Gholston is relentless and will accumulate countless sacks for St. Louis. Remember, while some experts are projecting Jake Long to fall here, Gholston was the only player who befuddled the Michigan tackle during the entire 2007 campaign.

Speaking of Long, he is an option. However, I believe St. Louis will pursue one of the next-tier offensive tackles atop the second round.

Atlanta Falcons: Jake Long, OT, Michigan
With Glenn Dorsey out of the picture - more on this later - and Darren McFadden no longer a factor in the wake of the Michael Turner signing, the Falcons have two options to choose from. Let's take a look at both of them:

Matt Ryan: Mike Mayock, as well as a lot of mocks in my 2008 NFL Mock Draft Database have Matt Ryan going to the Falcons. Up until about a month ago, I believed he would as well. However, in the wake of Chad Henne, Joe Flacco and several other quarterbacks looking solid in the Senior Bowl and Combine, Atlanta could be targeting one of them in the second round. And if someone like Brian Brohm slips - which is a very realistic possibility right now - the Falcons can trade both of its second-round picks to trade with a team like the Chargers, who have just one selection in the first four rounds.

Furthermore, I don't consider Ryan as good a prospect as Jake Long or even Sedrick Ellis (not much of an option - Atlanta signed about 5 billion defensive tackles the first two weeks of free agency). Offensive tackle is a position of need for the Falcons. Why would Atlanta take a slightly lesser talent in that case?

And finally, we've seen teams eschew quarterbacks recently. The Browns drafted Joe Thomas instead of Brady Quinn. The Dolphins also passed on Quinn in favor of Ted Ginn. In prior years, Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers both slipped. I don't think Ryan goes here. And if he does, imagine how much he'll struggle without any talent around him. Think David Carr in Houston, Tim Couch in Cleveland, etc. If you have no pieces to put around a signal caller, I don't think you can draft one unless it's someone with Peyton Manning-like talent. Call me crazy, but Ryan is not Peyton Manning.

Jake Long: I don't care who you have a quarterback. No signal caller can thrive behind an offensive front that surrenders 47 sacks.

Look at what Joe Thomas did for the Browns this year. Falcons fans might worry about Long becoming another Robert Gallery, but top tackles have almost always panned out. Just look at Thomas (another Big Ten tackle) and D'Brickashaw Ferguson over the past few seasons. Long would be a great addition to Atlanta's roster and would instantly improve its offense, much like Thomas did for the Browns in 2007.

I find it odd that the Falcons are in the same situation as the Browns were last year. They have an opportunity to draft a premier offensive tackle, a running back with immense talent and a quarterback who could potentially fall into the 20s at No. 3. Cleveland's strategy was successful, so it wouldn't shock me if Atlanta utilizes the same one.

Oakland Raiders: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
I'm glad the coin flip is over with. I was getting tired of predicting the result for people. In case you missed it, I actually received an e-mail the other day where a reader asked, "Hey, who do you think is going to win the coin toss between Oakland and Atlanta?" Because I didn't own a crystal ball or tarot cards, I deferred to Emmitt Smith: "When you look at these coin toss, I think the Falcons will win that coin toss because Oakland are a little banged up right now in their secondary, and Atlanta have the talent to take advantage of that lack of talent."

Sorry, couldn't resist throwing an Emmitt quote in there... but I can understand if you want more Emmitt. I've compiled all of Emmitt's grammatically incorrect quotes from this past year and put them all on one page. Check out the Emmitt Smith Anthology. I'm also currently working on an Emmitt Smith 2008 NFL Mock Draft.

Back to the mock... I'm aware the Raiders just re-signed Justin Fargas, but we all know what Al Davis loves to do (besides sign crappy free agents coming off ACL injuries.) He drafts speed and the flashiest player available. Darren McFadden seems to fit both categories. I'm pretty confident in predicting that Al Davis called in Lane Kiffin to change his adult diaper in the wake of seeing McFadden blow everyone away with his 4.27 at the combine.

I'm not sure if adding another running back - albeit a very talented one - to the roster is the greatest idea in the world, but I'm predicting what the Raiders are going to do; not what'll be best for them. And if you think about it, why would Oakland snag Sedrick Ellis after re-signing defensive tackle Tommy Kelly to a huge deal? That makes even less sense because Ellis isn't as good a prospect as McFadden is.

Kansas City Chiefs: Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
Let me ask you a question. Say you have a top-five pick, and you're looking at three talented players to draft with your selection. One of the guys might be slightly higher rated than the other two, but he has had chronic knee problems the past two years. He didn't miss any time, but he's always been in pain. Upon examining the player at the hospital instead of watching him working out at the combine, one doctor says he has major concerns about the prospect's knees. A week later, there are reports of other injuries no one even knew about. So, do you take a major risk and pray that his body holds up for 8-10 seasons, or do you take the slightly lesser talent, knowing that lingering injuries definitely won't be a problem?

This is one reason why I think Glenn Dorsey could slip all the way down to No. 9. I think he's an incredible player, but I wouldn't touch him with a top-five selection. If he falls past Kansas City, the Jets, Patriots and Ravens won't take him because he doesn't fit their systems.

With Jake Long unavailable, I think it's pretty much between Dorsey and Sedrick Ellis. Given the former's injury issues, it has to be the tackle from USC. But it's not like the Chiefs aren't getting a mediocre player or anything; Ellis threw opposing offensive linemen aside as if they were small children at the Senior Bowl.

New York Jets: Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy State
For months, I've been saying the Jets are sitting pretty because they would have their choice between Darren McFadden, Chris Long and Vernon Gholston, seeing as how it was improbable they would all be picked in the top five. Well, New York fans can now be legitimately angry that their team won a meaningless contest against the Chiefs late in the year. All three prospects, as well as Jake Long, are all off the board.

So, where do the Jets go with this selection? I thought about Ryan Clady, but it's a bit early for him. Same goes for Rashard Mendenhall, Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves. The only other prospect who makes sense is Leodis McKelvin.

I know the Jets drafted a corner in the first round last year. While that doesn't make it seem like they'd be interested in paying big bucks to another one, that belief simply isn't true because they were close to signing Asante Samuel. Because they missed out on him, they could be tempted into drafting a corner with this selection if all of the aforementioned players aren't available. New York needs a corner across from Darelle Revis, so McKelvin could definitely be that guy.

New England Patriots: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, TSU
A bit surprised to see Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie go this high? I wouldn't be so shocked. Following up on his stellar Senior Bowl, DRC ran an unofficial 4.28 40, notched a 38.5-inch vertical and leaped a broad jump of 10 feet, 11 inches. He looked like a man amongst boys in the drills, earning Deion Sanders' praise. I would be extremely surprised if he wasn't drafted with the first 10 picks.

Something else I can't believe is that New England is drafting seventh overall just a few months after their conquest for 19-0 came to an unfortunate end. This is like the Suns stealing first-round selections from the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks every year (and without David Stern rigging the draft too.) It's just not fair.

I recently had Leodis McKelvin going here, but he's off the board. Before that, Ryan Clady, which I still think could happen. However, in the wake of Asante Samuel and Randall Gay both leaving New England, cornerback will be a much greater need than the right tackle position. Besides, drafting a right tackle in the Top 10 isn't the smartest thing in the world when a player of equal talent fills a need that's much more prominent.

Baltimore Ravens: Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
Before I move on, I'd like to let you know that my 2008 NFL Free Agents List is updated daily to match whatever's going on in free agency.

In the wake of Brian Billick getting fired, it's apparent that the Kyle Boller experiment is over. But don't feel bad for Billick - he can now retire to his country house in Vermont with Boller by his side for the rest of his life.

The bottom line is Baltimore seriously needs to upgrade the signal-caller position if it wants to return to the postseason. I know the team still has Troy Smith in the mix, but it's not like they have much invested in him, given that he was a fifth-round pick. The best quarterback available here is obviously Matt Ryan, thanks to the Falcons passing on him (see the long Atlanta write-up for details.)

Cincinnati Bengals: Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU
Bengals fans will jump for joy if both the Falcons and Raiders eschew drafting a defensive tackle. That's because neither Glenn Dorsey nor Sedrick Ellis will go sixth, seventh or eighth - they don't fit in the 3-4 - so Cincinnati will have the opportunity to take the guy who doesn't go to Kansas City.

I know Dorsey has major injury issues, but I don't think he makes it past the Bengals, especially after they lost out in the Shaun Rogers and Dewayne Robertson sweepstakes. Cincinnati ranked 24th versus the run and managed just 22 sacks in 2007, and I think it's safe to say that adding a monstrous defensive tackle like Dorsey to the front four would vastly improve both of those statistics.

If you're wondering why Dorsey falls this far, check out the Chiefs write-up at No. 5.

Also, I wouldn't count out Rashard Mendenhall either. Rudi Johnson stinks, Chris Perry is a bust and Kenny Irons may not be ready to play in 2008. If Dorsey isn't available, this selection could be Mendenhall.

New Orleans Saints: Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
New Orleans' secondary is garbage. The corners can't cover anyone, while free safety Josh Bullocks has been completely awful at times. I previously had Kenny Phillips here, but the Miami free safety has seen his stock slip. Mike Jenkins, meanwhile, is a higher-rated prospect. He can only help a defense ranked 30th versus the pass.

Buffalo Bills: Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma
Buffalo is a serious candidate to trade down. The team really could use a big wide out, but guys like Malcolm Kelly, Limas Sweed and James Hardy can all be obtained in the late teens. A deal with the Eagles makes sense if Andy Reid feels that he can't acquire one of the top offensive or defensive tackles at No. 19.

I previously had Keith Rivers here, but it doesn't look like the Bills will be going after a linebacker after signing Kawika Mitchell to a moderately sized deal. So, it's between a receiver, a defensive end and a cornerback at this juncture. All the top corners are gone, and I think wide out is a greater need than end.

A massive receiver like Malcolm Kelly will be a nice complement to the lightning-quick Lee Evans, and a great secondary target for Trent Edwards.

Denver Broncos: Keith Rivers, OLB, USC
The Broncos really need help everywhere on defense. One of the main reasons Denver was 30th against the run and 28th in points allowed was its pedestrian linebacking corps. D.J. Williams was playing out of position all year, while the lackluster Ian Gold wasn't making any plays at the weakside slot.

Gold has been released, opening up an even greater void at his former position. The Broncos can mend it together by selecting Keith Rivers, assuming the Saints and Bengals both pass on him. If Rivers isn't here, Denver could go after Ryan Clady or even Rashard Mendenhall.

Carolina Panthers: Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State
I previously wrote that Sam Baker fits a bit better into Carolina's zone-blocking scheme than Ryan Clady. So, what does Clady have to say about that?

"We were primarily a zone, I'm kinda like a Denver Broncos type offensive lineman, we cut a lot and position block and stuff like that."

Special thanks to e-mailer Chris Hansen for that quote.

In case you're new to the site, I still had Clady in this spot regardless of my previous assumption, given that he's a much better prospect than Baker. Adding Clady would allow Carolina to move Travelle Wharton inside.

Chicago Bears: Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
The Bears have major offensive line issues, as John Tait recently celebrated his 33rd birthday, while Fred Miller, a fossilized right tackle, was just cut. That's why it shouldn't shock anyone that Chicago couldn't pass protect (43 sacks) or run block (3.1 yards per carry) last year. Chris Williams had an outstanding combine and will be difficult to pass up, even with Rashard Mendenhall still on the board.

Detroit Lions: Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
I had the Lions taking a corner here in my last update, but that's probably not happening anymore, as they acquired Leigh Bodden from the Browns and signed Brian Kelly via free agency. Chad Johnson called Bodden the best cover corner he has played against. Then again, Chad has already inducted himself into the Hall of Fame, so he's not the best judge of character.

In the words of Emmitt Smith, "The Lions has no running game." Seriously - Kevin Jones? T.J. Duckett? Tatum Bell? Excuse me while I go vomit into Lake Michigan. No wonder Mike Martz didn't want to run the ball - with those guys in the backfield, I'd call 400 consecutive pass plays as well, even if it meant my quarterback would rupture his lungs and kidneys in the process.

Rashard Mendenhall is a beast; at 225 pounds, he ran a 4.37 at the combine. Detroit backers will fall in love with him from Day 1.

Arizona Cardinals: Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon
Edgerrin James totaled more than 1,200 rushing yards this year, but he's turning 30 in August. How much longer can he possibly hold up? The Cardinals need a young back to take his place soon.

Jonathan Stewart's not some ordinary "young back." Forget about his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield for a second; the Oregon alumnus managed to run a 4.44 at 235 pounds. That's simply amazing.

The Cardinals will take a huge step toward finally making the playoffs with Stewart running behind Levi Brown.

Minnesota Vikings: Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson
The Vikings desperately need help at quarterback, safety, offensive tackle and defensive end. Brian Brohm is an option, but the Vikings are a veteran team ready to win now. They need someone with experience under center. Jeff Otah, meanwhile, is not the best prospect on the board.

Minnesota must acquire someone like Phillip Merling to help an anemic pass rush that lacked anyone with more than five sacks in 2007. Defensive end was a position of need even before Kenechi Udeze's bout with Leukemia. With Kenny Phillips slipping, the Vikings will look at Merling or Derrick Harvey.

Houston Texans: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas
The Texans have done everything in their power to take down the Colts ever since they came into the NFL, and a top-notch corner would certainly help, as they don't really have anything beyond Dunta Robinson, who may actually miss the 2008 season in the wake of the torn ACL and hamstring he suffered in late December. The often-burnt Jacques Reeves, who was mistakenly given $20 million instead of $2 million when he signed with Houston on March 2, doesn't help matters at all.

Derrick Harvey and Jonathan Stewart are options here if they fall, but Houston's secondary is such a mess I don't see how they pass up on one of the top corners in this draft.

Philadelphia Eagles: Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh
First, I'd like to concede that there's a very good chance the Eagles could draft a receiver in the first round. That goes against everything they believe in, but they've been trying to acquire a top-notch wide out this offseason. First, they threw more money at Randy Moss than the Patriots did. Then, they offered Lito Sheppard and a second-round pick to the Cardinals in exchange for Larry Fitzgerald. A deal may still happen, and I know that Philadelphians are all keeping their fingers crossed.

I have to believe the Eagles will get something done. They're going all in this year. They want a veteran wide out for Donovan McNabb to recapture the magic they had in 2004 - without all of the whining in the locker room.

If Andy Reid manages to acquire someone like Fitzgerald or Roy Williams, he'll grab an offensive or defensive lineman at this juncture. Just look at the positions Big Red has drafted in the first round since 2003: DE, G, DT, DT. He has also spent tons of money on Jon Runyan, Jevon Kearse, Darren Howard and the like.

An image Eagles fans will always have in their minds is Winston Justice looking helpless as Osi Umenyiora beat him for a Giants record six sacks. This is the future of Philadelphia's offensive line. With William Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan nearing retirement, the Eagles will need a new left tackle to protect Kevin Kolb's blind side for the next decade.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: DeSean Jackson, WR/PR, California
Prior to the combine, this was a dilemma for me. I even went to Matt McGuire, an avid Buccaneers fan, for advice. My problem: With Brian Brohm dropping into the 20s, does Tampa Bay take its quarterback of the future, or settle for a player that fills a more-pressing need, such as receiver and return specialist (DeSean Jackson)?

I had Brohm here before, but he really failed to distinguish himself apart from Chad Henne and Joe Flacco at the combine. Thus, I have to believe Tampa Bay is confident that it can obtain one of those quarterbacks in the second round.

Side note - I received an e-mail from someone who hated the idea of Jackson going 20-25. He compared Jackson to Wayne Chrebet because of his small frame. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Chrebet never ran a 4.3. I see Jackson as a better version of Santana Moss. He may not even fall this far.

Washington Redskins: Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida
First of all, I'd be remiss if I didn't give my condolences to the Taylor family. May Sean rest in peace.

Washington failed to register a single sack the Sunday following Sean's death. Keep in mind that the team was playing a rookie quarterback. Against the Seahawks, the Redskins barely touched Matt Hasselbeck, managing only one sack. They have nothing at defensive end, and they'll be lacking depth at defensive tackle if they lose Ryan Boschetti (free agency) and Cornelius Griffin (potential cap casualty) this offseason. The Redskins will be thrilled if they can land Derrick Harvey without trading up.

Dallas Cowboys: Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
This pick is from Cleveland. With Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn nearing retirement, and Patrick Crayton doing everything in his power to knock his own team out of the playoffs, Dallas needs help at wide out.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Branden Albert, G, Virginia
With the top tackles off the board, the Steelers will have to choose between Branden Albert and a massive receiver like James Hardy.

I'm making Albert the pick. Pittsburgh's offensive line surrendered 47 sacks in 2007. The unit couldn't even keep the Rams out of the backfield. It got worse against the Jaguars, as Ben Roethlisberger was sacked four times in the first 20 minutes.

Alan Faneca's departure opens the door for a No. 1 selection to be used on Albert. Besides, there will be plenty of talented wide outs available in Rounds 2 and 3.

Tennessee Titans: James Hardy, WR, Indiana
The Titans' receiving corps killed them all year. Vince Young's drive to set up a potential game-winning field goal against the Colts was thwarted by his own teammate. Brandon Jones, Tennessee's No. 1 wide out, dropped an easy first down in field-goal territory. Against the Broncos on Monday night, it seemed like every single receiver had dozens of drops. And in the playoffs, Tennessee's first two plays resulted in drops. Albert Haynesworth is right - it's a shame Young's talent is going to waste with the garbage the Titans surrounded him with.

Seattle Seahawks: Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
With the Branden Albert and the top running backs off the board, and Felix Jones falling out of the first round with a disappointing combine, the Seahawks will likely address their interior defensive line in the first round. The same interior defensive line that surrendered 201 rushing yards and three touchdowns to Ryan Grant in the second round of the playoffs.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC
The Jaguars prefer extra-large defensive linemen, and they'll get an exceptional one here in Lawrence Jackson. They need depth at the end position, especially in the wake of Bobby McCray defecting for New Orleans.

I'm aware that Jacksonville just lost Marcus Stroud in a deal with the Bills, but defensive end is still a greater need than defensive tackle. The Jaguars will grab a big tackle later in the draft.

San Diego Chargers: Kenny Phillips, FS, Miami
Two possibilities here. The Chargers will draft either Carl Nicks as an upgrade at right tackle, or Kenny Phillips. Phillips has fallen a bit after a lackluster showing at the combine, but I doubt he makes it past the Chargers. San Diego needs a safety to pair with Eric Weddle for the future. Phillips is too good a prospect to pass up.

I believe the Chargers could trade down - most likely with the Falcons, who may wish to move up to secure Brian Brohm. San Diego doesn't pick again until Round 5. It needs to recoup as many selections as possible.

Dallas Cowboys: Brandon Flowers, CB, Virginia Tech
Terence Newman and Anthony Henry aren't exactly young. Newman will be 30 in September 2008, while Henry doesn't have many productive seasons remaining in the NFL. Jacques Reeves, who signed a ridiculous contract with Houston, was one of the worst nickel corners in the NFL. Brandon Flowers, a favorite of Mike Mayock's, would be a great addition to Dallas' defensive backfield. I also considered Carl Nicks here.

San Francisco 49ers: Quentin Groves, DE/OLB, Auburn
I've had Early Doucet and Kentwan Balmer going here in my past few updates, but things will definitely be different if Quentin Groves makes it to this spot. The 49ers surrendered 22.8 points per game, and were ranked 22nd against both the run and the pass in 2007. Their defensive front seven was pathetic, as no one on the roster had more than six sacks. Groves will definitely change that.

If Groves isn't here, Doucet, Dre Moore and Carl Nicks are all options.

Green Bay Packers: Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona
Assuming Aaron Rodgers can play as well as he did in the second half of the Cowboys game, the Packers don't have many weaknesses. One of the team's few downfalls, however, is at cornerback - Charles Woodson and Al Harris will be 32 and 34, respectively, by December. Youth is desperately needed at this position.

New York Giants: Dan Connor, OLB/MLB, Penn State
Congratulations to the New York Giants. You won the Super Bowl as 12-point underdogs, stopped the first team in NFL history that had a chance of going 19-0, and single-handedly prevented a mass suicide by the 1972 Dolphins.

Now that the Giants are champions, it's a safe bet that Michael Strahan may retire even though he has hinted that he will come back. Assuming he doesn't un-retire for the 5,000th time, the Giants will need a strongside linebacker so Mathias Kiwanuka can slide back to his normal position.

Bah! You think a D Lineman is going first in the draft? I disagree, I think the dolphins need a QB in the worst way. Matt Ryan is a fine talent especially considering they are going with Cleo Lemon. He is big, has a big arm and took an over matched Boston College team to the #1 ranking for a short time this year. He has all the physical skills, I think he has to go #1.

robdog · 03-13-2008, 03:47 PM

Hell no the Dolphins have a great QB in Cleo Lemon he is the best around the league! I have lost all hope for the Dolphins. They need at least 2-3 more years to rebuild with great draft picks AND hold on to their current draft picks.

Matt Ryan would be a good pick. He seemed smart under pressure and had some really good games. But who else would need a QB besides the Dolphins really?
