(Photo by Luke Hales/Getty Images) | Getty Images When the Miami Dolphins hired general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan to lead the team into the future, one of the first questions he was asked was what he planned to do at the quarterback position. Sully would then go on to cut Tua Tagovailoa — as expected — and sign his replacement and the potential franchise QB, Malik Willis — as some expected.

(Note: IDK what “franchise QB” even means anymore after Tannehill and Tua. ) The dead cap sucks, but it was inevitable, and to land Willis, I’m happy. Still, Sullivan promised to add competition at the position, and he did just that.

But with three quarterbacks on the roster — more on QB2, Quinn Ewers another time — Miami isn’t necessarily forced to draft anyone at the position. (They also have Cam Miller on the roster. ) But for the sake of this article, I’m going to hold Sullivan to those words.

What words, you may ask, check it out for yourself::: “The quarterback position again is the most important position in sports in my opinion, certainly the most important position in football. We’re going to invest in that position every year if we can. Now depending on where we are as a football team, it’ll be at different values, but we will draft quarterbacks every year, if not every other year because I think you have to.
