The Dolphins' interest in Mayfield hasn't been a secret, and likely also isn't a smokescreen considering their penchant for organizational leaks in recent years. The Fins' intentions are all too often public knowledge. The Dolphins hold the No. 11 overall pick in the draft, and Mayfield probably stands a 50-50 chance or worse of lasting that long. Miami might have to trade up to land him. Edited March 9, 2018 by Reed83HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Maybe. One of the reasons clubs leak false information is so that when true information is inadvertently leaked it's hard to distinguish fact from fiction. True leak? Fake leak? Hard to know.

They are going out to dinner with him before his proday on March 14th Lots of Dolphins quarterback talk on a Tuesday: ▪ Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield might not even be available when Miami picks 11thin April’s draft. But this much we know: The Dolphins like Mayfield’s skill set and privately have spoken highly about how he came across in their interview with him at the Senior Bowl. The Dolphins weren’t sure what to expect when they met with Mayfield but came away impressed, according to a source with direct knowledge. That’s why the Dolphins plan to spend even more time with him at dinner on March 13 in Norman, Okla., as we reported last week — even though many expect Mayfield to be gone before No. 11. Whether they develop a similar affection for Wyoming’s Josh Allen or UCLA’s Josh Rosen remains to be seen. And whether it’s Mayfield or another quarterback, we believe there’s at least some willingness inside the Dolphins to genuinely consider a quarterback at 11, though they remain committed to Ryan Tannehill as their 2018 starter and though other positions remain more likely because of immediate need and the front office’s desire to win immediately. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article202439014.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB is more important than any other hole you can think of... it is the thinking that you are using right now that the Bills have been doing for the past 17+ years. When you have a chance at a guy you think can become a franchise QB you take it. Simple as that, every other hole on a team can be filled and masked... except QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEraBills Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 2 hours ago, prissythecat said: Dolphins have Tannehill still under contract? Why would they spend draft capital on QB with other holes in lineup? Because Tannehill is unreliable, often injured and is not that good and when you see an upgrade you need to take it. Isn't that what everyone around here preaches. TT isn't good so we need a franchise QB. Tannehill is NOT a franchise QB AND he's not that good, so why wouldn't the Phins be looking at QB. They met with Mayfield at the Senior Bowl as well. If anything, maybe they think the Bills will sell the farm and draft Mayfield and they are just interviewing him for intel purposes. Who knows, but it's clear the Dolphins need a signal caller. 5 minutes ago, TigerJ said: Knowing Buffalo is looking to draft a QB, and probably wants to do it higher rather than lower, I could see Miami trying to manipulate the Bills into spending draft picks to get higher than Miami to snag their QB.

AmishRifle Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Do you think trading away Landry for draft picks has anything to do with moving up from their current position for a QB that they like? I think it’s very possible. Trading with Cleveland specifically also opens up the communication channels for potential draft moves. I believe the Dolphin’s are ready to move away from Tannehill. Just my gut feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
