Based on his comments on PFT, it seems like Pryor was expecting to go to the Dolphins or Redskins in the Supplemental Draft. He said he talked to Miami "a bunch of times," which suggests to me that, once again, the phins couldn't pull the trigger early enough. Who knows, maybe they felt like he was only worth taking in the 3rd round, but not the 2nd, and Oakland was, unfortunately for them, ahead of the pack in the 3rd round.

Whatever the case, I think it's laugh-out-loud funny that the Dolphins keep whiffing on landing a QB. No Kolb, no Mallette, no McNabb, no Orton, no nothin'. And, hilariously enough, it's doubtful they'll be so bad as to be in place to pick the Stanford QB #1 overall. Ha ha.

Gwedd

I shed no tears for Miami. They have created this situation themselves. I do feel some sympathy for their players who are in this situation of likely losing a whole bunch of games due to the myopic actions of their front office.

In all honesty, I think Miami saved themselves a 3rd round pick here. Where Miami screwed up, was in not sending Denver a 2nd, or something other, to Denver for Orton. That's the move I'd have made, if one had to be made at all. The question from Miami's perspective is probably whether or not Orton is worth the 2nd rounder, with respect to being an upgrade from a one year wiser Chad Henne. I think he would be, but maybe the people closer to Henne in the Dolphin organization feel differently. Either way Miami has an uphill battle facing the Jets and Pats 4 times.

Miami wanted Mallett by a lot of accounts too although they were scared about the drugs and partying rumors around Mallett. Let's face it, the Miami area is not the best place for a rich young athlete that likes drugs and to party.

Mallett would have been a better pick up for them. Not sold on Pryor as a QB.

Cry me a river ...Miami....LOL

The last thing Miami wants or needs is any type of project at QB.

That organization has proven time and again that they can't spot talent and they certainly can't nurture it when its comes to the most important position in the game.

They definitely know how to build defenses over there, so with that in mind they should just bite the bullet and pay over the odds and trade for a relatively established QB.

I'm sure we could throw in Hoyer if they sent back a couple of 1st rounders

Remember Aqua4Evah and his posts about Beck "The Future"?
Ian never shoulda banned the guy. His entertainment value was priceless.

Miami faces the Marino Curse, decades w/o another stats making QB. A front office made gunshy over past QB wiffs passed on Mallett who in the 3rd round despite rumor concerns should have been taken by any of several QB deficient or aging QB teams before the Pats. I'm not a huge Mallet fan but I think he represented serious value in the 3rd.

Andrew Luck will end up in South Beach either by trade up or if the Phins stink in 2011, they may not have to

We have plenty of DL lets trade Myron for a 3 to Miami
