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
hondo in seattle Posted March 9, 2018 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.

prissythecat Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Dolphins have Tannehill still under contract? Why would they spend draft capital on QB with other holes in lineup?

BillsFan130 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Not buying any rumours about the draft. The draft is a poker game. No one is going to reveal their hand Edited March 9, 2018 by billsfan11

ColoradoBills Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Does anyone here believe Tannehill is a "franchise QB"? I don't, and the fish can get rid of him at anytime between now and 2020 for next to nothing. 1

1billsfan Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I've been saying this for over a week. I think they take Mayfield or Jackson, whichever one's still there. Teams are moving on from long term players, and this trend will continue with the Dolphins at the QB position. 1

ddaryl Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Gonna be real hard for the Phins to draft Mayfield when the Bills jump in front of them and da Jits to select him.. Too bad, so sad Miami Edited March 9, 2018 by ddaryl 2 1

Expand 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
