This one goes out to the experts. Any intriguing mid round options?

Can McCarron be a better version of Pennington?

I don't know what to make of McCaron.

He makes the throws that has to make, but he doesn't have to make that many of them. He's protected by the best OL in college football, one of the best running games in college football, the best defense in college football…It's not his fault that he's not given the reigns to show teams that he can do more than manage a game, but at the same time he hasn't proven he's anything more than that.

His arm is pretty average, but he is accurate. I wouldn't say Pennington accurate, but he's one of the more accurate QB's in this class. Great smarts and intangibles.

I think he's actually the exact type of guy to bring in behind Tannehill. Adds a good presence in the meeting room, a very competitive guy who won't settle for being the back-up, and a dependable game manager if you need him.

I think his ceiling is probably Andy Dalton. Good enough to tag along for the ride on a good team, but not good enough to win games when it counts against great teams.

I can't say that I've studied QB tape, although I should probably start looking at these Day 2 and early Day 3 guys. Derek Carr is being hyped as a 1st round pick. If that guy falls into the 2nd round, I'd snatch him up…Talk about talent. He needs some work, but he can flat out sling it.

Wow. Just watched some video of the guy. Love the fire and leadership. Freaking playmaker who looks like he has some good touch on the deep throws.

If they have a new GM, HC and OC I hope they take a good look at this guy.

McCarron is billed to be a low 1st rounder

Aaron Murray and David Fales come to mind as mid rounders.

1. David Fales
2. Kevin Hogan
3. Aaron Murray
4. AJ McCarron

I like what I've seen from Fales.

Fales probably goes pretty early. Not sure I see him getting out of the first round.

so is Hundley leaving or staying at UCLA?
I've heard some good things about the Wyoming QB, as well as the Eastern Illinois QB.

How far will Johnny football fall? Do we grab him at 18? Just talking, don't kill me.

He won't get out of the top 5, IMO.

If he did fall, yes. I would draft him.

Crucify me if you wish but if Miami drafted him I'd start supporting another team. His football talent is great and I realize the Fins currently are not a collection of saints, but he comes across as an obnoxious, enabled little punk. I don't like any of the reports I read about his attitude and seeming lack of respect for authority.

Are you on the bandwagon of Miami needs a new QB?

Crucify me if you wish but if Miami drafted him I'd start supporting another team

Crucify you? For your opinion, not me my friend.

No. But they didn't need one in 1984 either.

Manziel is a baller. He makes all the throws, has unbelievable football instincts and confidence (2 things that will keep Tannehill from being elite), is athletic enough to make things happen with his feet, got a lot better this year at going through progressions and not rushing decisions, has really under rated accuracy…

Talent wise he should go top 5. I don't care about his size too much, nor do I think he'll need Jay Cutler's arm to be successful.

Obviously I worry about his character like you mentioned. On game day he's as passionate about winning as any QB I've seen coming out of school. He shows good leadership qualities. But to be successful in the NFL you have to maintain that same attitude Monday-Friday, and not be an idiot in the off season. That remains a question obviously.

He already comes from money so I'm not overly worried about newfound wealth suddenly changing him as a person. Right now it has strings attached, and once he doesn't have to live off of daddy's trust fund I could see him flaming out from substance abuse and too much partying.

The only first round guy I'd be okay with Miami taking should he slip would be Derek Carr.

Unfortunately I don't know if Miami has the resources to grab an extra QB this year because of the holes on the o-line, RB, TE and DT.

I'd be shocked if we draft a QB.

I'd be shocked if it was anything earlier than 5th or 6th round. Philbin loves Devlin.

I still think if the talent is there you have to take a chance on a guy in the draft.

I love having Matt Moore as a quality backup, but I wouldn't be surprised if they traded him to fill some holes and drafted another QB in a later round, maybe someone like T Boyd.

Not sure he has a heck of a lot of trade value with a 4 million dollar cap hit. I'd be more worried of Philbin's faith in Devlin causing Miami to release Moore. We witnessed with a lot of teams this year what happens when you don't have a viable back up (GB), or when you do (Chicago).

I think a QB will come much earlier than you anticipate Jammer. I don't think Miami is as high on Devlin as we think. They should realize they need better behind Tannehill.

I'd have to think those first 4 or 5 picks are used to restock the OL, get a DT, a TE upgrade and a more complete HB.

Well.. As long as he can play football I'm probably on board to be honest. I just feel like he's gonna be a flop in the NFL honestly.

I wouldnt want him. Wreckless+Small=Disaster

No way we waste a pick on a QB when Philbin must win now. We have too many needs.

I have to agree with PR about Derek Carr. If he's there at 19 I'd consider it simply because he makes ALL of the throws and just needs some things cleaned up. I think he'll be the star that everyone hoped his brother would be.

If AJ McCarron is still there in the 3rd I'd consider it as well. He looks like a great backup/game manager in the making.

Depends who is on the board I guess. If you see a guy who you think is an immediate starter you grab him.

Aaron Murray is a pure gamer....love his intangibles!
I know he doesn't have the height and weight but the kid has all the immeasurable! I watched 4 UGA games this year and was very impressed with him. Tore his ACL so he should be available in the 3rd or 4th round. We should snatch him up!

Very impressed with this Garappolo kid.

Yup , best QB value in this draft. Some team is gettin a steal in the bottom of the 2nd round.

Very impressed with this Garappolo kid.

Ditto. I'd grab him with our 2nd rd pick. We drafted Pat White in the 2nd...lol Remember the last time we drafted an Italian QB!

I really have no problem with this. Miami can plug a lot of holes via free agency and draft for value. Worst case scenario you have RGIII/Cousins with people asking if Garappolo will be traded.

A lot of people a very high on Fales. I like Carr but I don't think he'll last beyond the top of Round 2.

We drafted an OL, 2 dbs, a DE, a LB last year to fill holes and none of them did....yet. If there is a QB that can push RT or beat him out in a year or two, I'm all for it. The problem is that Philbin is a lame duck, he's gonna draft to win now which could turn out to be good if they pick starters. A rookie QB will not contribute this year.

Look at TB last year. Freeman was questioned but still considered the starter. Hickey seems to have input on the drafting of Glennon. That could totally play out in Miami this year, especially if Philbin is already floating the idea that he's down on Tannehill and "his" rookie will need time to develop. Buys him another year with his buddy Ross in this unholy matrimony.

I'm still on board with drafting a QB.

Honestly, after the first round guys, none of these QB's really get my juices going.

Based on what I've seen I wouldn't spend a #2 on Garappolo, personally. That said, I need to study him a lot more in depth before I'll put that in pen.

I could see us taking McCarron as he's a pretty high character guy, if we draft a guy later.

Garappallo is the only one I would want, and only if he slips to us in round 3, not round 2.

Starting to see some doubters now on Derek Carr.
