Reflecting on the Dolphins' recent past, the conversation recalls the 2019 draft, a pivotal year for quarterback evaluation. The Dolphins, then keen on tanking for a top-tier prospect, set their sights on Tua Tagovailoa, who was perceived as the potential franchise quarterback and the likely top pick.
However, Miami’s infatuation with Joe Burrow, who was ultimately selected first overall by Cincinnati, complicated their plans. Efforts to trade for Burrow were met with silence; the Bengals weren’t interested in moving the coveted pick. Instead, Miami settled for selecting Tua at number five, ultimately passing on Justin Herbert, who was a later pick by the Los Angeles Chargers.
