Miami Dolphins General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan revealed that the team was prepared to select a quarterback in the NFL Draft if specific prospects had remained available at certain points in the order. Speaking on NFL Network’s "The Insiders," Sullivan admitted the organization was close to adding a new signal-caller before ultimately sticking to their board.
"If certain guys would’ve fallen to a certain point, I think we probably would’ve pulled the trigger," Sullivan told Tom Pelissero. The admission provides a rare look into the Dolphins' draft-room strategy and suggests the front office was highly interested in the top-tier passing talent available in this year's class.
Instead of a quarterback, the Dolphins utilized their first-round selection on offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor. Sullivan addressed the decision to prioritize Proctor, noting that while the team was tempted by the quarterback market, the opportunity to secure a foundational piece for the offensive line was the priority once their targeted passers were off the board. According to Sullivan, the team remains confident in their current roster but was active in evaluating all options at the game's most important position.
