Looking like the Dolphins have had “extensive meetings” with Baker Mayfield at the Senior Bowl. Mayfield reported to Robert Klemko of SI.com
Loving this. He showed love. We gave him a nice sit down meeting. Well done Miami. Wouldn’t be disappointed with this pick in the first round one bit.

There's talk about Denver wanting KC, but I believe that just couldn't be, way too much money for a losing QB that doesn't make players around him good.
My bet is they take Baker and save the money for their horrible OL, I know the Donks have a big interest from him, hell the way things are going Baker may end up going before the supposed top QB's. -

No, Cusions, that's all I hear everyday, I just don't believe for a second they'd pay that loser that much...

If Miami makes a play on a 1st rd qb then they had BETTER have a plan at shoring up the OL and LB

You can't read too much into these meetings. This happens every year. That's how the game is played.
Hey, if he's not a screwball, just from a talent standpoint, I'd be totally down with drafting him. I think the odds that he falls to us are extremely low. Jackson may have a better chance at making it to our pick, but I think those chances are pretty slim as well, better than landing Mayfield, but still pretty slim. I also don't think he would be Gase's type of QB, but I could be wrong. There's a lot of QB needy teams and, imo, the pickens' are kind of slim...as usual. We would most likely have to trade up, so the question becomes, are you down with that idea? Personally, I never am.Last edited: Jan 28, 2018bigballa2102 likes this. -

Trading up for a QB is fine, as long as you are in YEAR ONE of a team rebuild. Get your QB, then build around him. Since Miami is going into year three, I think Gase has to ride with Tanny. Use #11 to strengthen the team (whether by one good player or a trade down for more picks) and hope with a good enough run game and defense the Phins become a Super Bowl caliber team.
If needed, the next rebuild will come in 2020, as Gase is shown the door and hopefully the next GM/Coach combo starts off with getting a QB to build around. I hope instead we are sitting on top of the AFCEast and looking to repeat as Super Bowl champs by then.
Also, none of the big four at QB are going to last past the #6 pick.djphinfan likes this. -
One or maybe two may go the FA route, but there are still alot of QB needy teams and with the recent success of young players like Wentz and Goff, it can make teams lean towards going that route as success breeds imitation. You sometimes have the Case Keenum type of situation, but those are probably even fewer and further between. Who knows how long that ride will continue. -
Baker Mayfield, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Sam Darnold w/ the possibility of combine risers like Mason Rudolph, Logan Poolside etc.,
Some QBs Expected To Be Available: (I won’t include Brees and Jimmy G because those guys will definitely resign)
Kirk Cousins, Case Keenum, Sam Bradford, Alex Smith, Teddy Bridgewater, Tyrod Taylor, AJ McCarron (RFA/Trade), Jay Cutler, Josh McCown, Blake Bortles w/possibly more being made available like Eli.
Those QBs can all compete in QB camps with late first round picks-3/4th round picks, no problem, seen it a billion times.
QBs needy teams ahead of us :
CLE
NYG (I’ll give em the nod even with Eli)
DEN
NYJ
I like the chances of a few QBs falling. -

The only guy on your list that would take someone out of the 1st round QB market is Kirk Cousins, and if he’s free them Washington are in the market. Tyrod Taylor or Alex Smithmight allow you enough breathing space to not do something stupid risky, but you’ll still take your guy if he’s there in the draft rather than roll with either of them as your long term plan. -
-
Miami will have to move up for Mayfield, I don't see him falling remotely close to us. which I wouldn't disagree to if they actually have a competition in camp or plan.
-
Also, doesn’t matter how many teams are in the market for a QB... only 4 teams that are in need, are ahead of us and I’m reading that NYG new personnel loves Eli so that may only be 3 soon enough once we see their plans for Saquon come out. -
-
Also I wouldn’t rule the Colts out from drafting a QB, depnding in Luck’s recovery -
-
Sure. Why not.
I HOPE may have been a better word. But if you think you are getting any viable leaks from the Dolphins FO about this time we can bet all day. If its a hunch, thats fun tooAqua4Ever04 likes this. -
Alex Smith to WAS
Mahomes takes over in KC
That’s one extra team who may have been on the market.. now off of it. No way WAS trades up now.ckparrothead likes this. -
But now, that trigger point could be lower. -
Now if CLE can pull the trigger on Cousins, that would be great, but even if I was CLE and made the move for Cousins, I would still use the #4 on a QB as well.... They need a hit lol

now that cousins and smith have shaken up the qb options, is it likely to have a qb available if cousins goes to the broncos that free's them up for what a rb? or talibs replacement?
