Is there a scenario in which the Dolphins don’t draft a quarterback in the first round?

DAVIE, Fla. — Let’s start with the scary thought that the Dolphins, by some stroke of luck, win three games and end up with the No. That would allow Miami to draft the best players available with its three first-round picks, and then select a quarterback in the second or third round and hope he develops into a franchise quarterback. In general, drafting a quarterback after the first round and hoping he becomes your franchise quarterback goes against the recent NFL trend and isn’t smart. “So you take a quarterback in the third round and he doesn’t pan out, or you take a right tackle in the third round and he doesn’t pan out?” Nagy said. Perhaps some other quarterback sneaks into the late first round, but if the Dolphins can’t land any of the top three for any reason they could find themselves in an awkward situation.
