Nonetheless, Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer believes that the Dolphins would be one of four teams that would be most likely to pursue Brendan Sorsby in the NFL Supplemental Draft if the quarterback is banned from college football amid his gambling scandal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have four teams here that I think kept their powder dry for the 2027 draft: The <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/new-york-jets\/\" title=\"Jets\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"254018\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jets<\/a>, the Cardinals, the Browns, and the Dolphins,\u201d <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YNgSTqrrGyA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">Breer said during a May 7 appearance on the \u201cRich Eisen Show.\u201d<\/a> \u201cI think all four of those teams kicked the can down the road at various levels. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, the Jets and the Dolphins went and got Malik Willis. They\u2019ve all kind of patched the position together and basically said they don\u2019t think there\u2019s somebody worthy of taking that high in 2026. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo they\u2019re allowing themselves the opportunity to extend this out and get to 2027 and take one there. What happens if one of those teams says Brendan Sorsby is as good as any of the kids coming out next year? We\u2019ll throw a second-round pick at it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Insider Shares Brendan Sorsby\u2019s NFL Outlook\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, if a team like the Dolphins were to consider giving up a second-round pick in next year\u2019s draft, Breer stated what he\u2019s hearing about Sorsby regarding how his game will translate to the NFL level. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI talked to one offensive coordinator who said to me that he\u2019s not consistent enough yet,\u201c Breer added. \u201cHe said, \u2018From an arm-talent perspective, I hate to use the names Caleb Williams and Patrick Mahomes, but I think this kid has some of that.\u2018<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZach Wilson was the other name brought up. But guys who have that level of arm talent, he has that sort of ability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you\u2019re the Cardinals, for example, you could say, \u2018We\u2019ll throw a second-round pick at this now, get him in our building for a year and see what happens.\u2018 And the NFL\u2019s ruling on the situation is going to be part of the equation, too. If he\u2019s suspended for the entire year, can you have him in your building, and can you work with him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dolphins HC Doesn\u2019t Hold Back on Malik Willis Signing<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the Dolphins are high on Willis even though many assume he\u2019s not the long-term answer. Dolphins head coach\u00a0<a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YzYWpbwLFwM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">Jeff Hafley appeared on Richard Sherman\u2019s podcast<\/a>, and he discussed Miami\u2019s decision to sign Willis in free agency and his experience working with him in Green Bay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so important \u2013 when you get in a free agent, you know what you\u2019re getting,\u201c Hafley said on the May 5 edition of the podcast. \u201cHe was our scout team QB. I communicated with him more than I communicated with Jordan (Love). <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s competitive, tough, he can throw the ball. He\u2019s accurate; really accurate down the field. And he\u2019s really athletic, strong, can make plays with his feet. I mean when he breaks the pocket and he\u2019s really accurate. And then on top of all that, I love the person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/eddierazo91\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eduardo Razo<\/a> Eduardo Razo is a sports writer for Heavy.com, covering the NFL, MLB, and college football.
