Moreover, Miami chose not to draft a signal-caller in the 2026 <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/\" title=\"NFL\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"258467\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL<\/a> Draft, despite its ample draft picks. <\/p>\n<p>As a result, Miami looks to have opted to run with Willis and then make a decision on the QB position next season. Nonetheless, that will all depend on whether Willis doesn\u2019t perform as a QB1. <\/p>\n<p>Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan could be in the market for a long-term signal-caller next year if the Willis situation doesn\u2019t work out. However, Miami could bring in a young QB this year as <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/college-football\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Texas Tech Red Raiders<\/a> quarterback Brendan Sorsby could enter the NFL\u2019s supplemental draft. <\/p>\n<p>On May 11, NBC Sports NFL analyst Chris Simms shared whether a team should use a supplemental draft pick on Sorsby if he enters. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think [Sorsby entering the supplemental is] headed that way as well,\u201d <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6DF7RzRqT4I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">Simms said on \u201cChris Simms Unbuttoned.\u201d<\/a> \u201cNow, does a team really want to take that risk of throwing a first-round pick? No way. And I\u2019m not sure a second round would happen either. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think first and second rounds are just too valuable, and there\u2019s just not enough out there to say, \u2018Oh, I definitely want that guy,\u2018 or \u2018We\u2019re ready to make him the future here and waste next year\u2019s first- or second-round pick by taking him in the supplemental.\u2018 So, yeah, I\u2019m with you. I think the door opens in the third round somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Could Brendan Sorsby Be a Promising Prospect?<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, co-host Connor Rogers believes Sorsby will enter the supplemental draft, and any team that selects him will have an intriguing QB prospect. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a feeling when we come back in July, this will be a way bigger story,\u201c Rogers said. \u201cThis is all me guessing. I think he\u2019ll be in the supplemental draft. I think somebody will use a third- or fourth-round pick on him, and he will be in an NFL training camp with a lot of eyeballs on him. He\u2019s not ready to play. But somebody will hope he\u2019s their future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Insider Sees Dolphins as Landing Spot for Brendan Sorsby<\/p>\n<p>The reason the Dolphins are in the speculation is due to Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer, who believes the Dolphins would be among the four teams most likely to pursue 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\u00a0Jets, the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/arizona-cardinals\/\" title=\"Cardinals\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"258468\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cardinals<\/a>, the Browns, and the Dolphins,\u201c\u00a0<a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/miami-dolphins\/compelling-albert-breer-take-brendan-sorsby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">Breer said during a May 7 appearance on the \u201cRich Eisen Show.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0\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>\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.
