Jefferson blunt on McCarthy with Kyler a Viking
Justin Jefferson discusses the Vikings' QB competition between J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray.
The Miami Dolphins hosted six quarterback prospects before the NFL draft, following their offseason changes, including releasing Tua Tagovailoa and signing Malik Willis. They are considering future quarterbacks despite having Willis as the starter for the upcoming season.
Mentioned in this story
The Miami Dolphins made several changes this offseason, and one of the most impactful came at quarterback, as they released former first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa and signed free agent Malik Willis to a three-year contract.
While the Dolphins have Willis slated to start, 2025 seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers set to back him up and Cam Miller in line to serve as the third-string/emergency this year, Miami should still be considering quarterbacks in the 2026 NFL draft.
Before the first round begins, here are the six quarterbacks the Dolphins had in for a top-30 visit during the pre-draft process.
Stats: 45 games, 63.2% completion percentage, 7,402 yards, 61 touchdowns and 13 interceptions
NFL.com draft profile: "Allar looks the part with prototypical size and an effortless arm that can make any NFL throw. However, inconsistent touch and ball placement are a major hindrance. In big moments and big games, he hasn’t proven he can rise to the occasion or sustain efficiency. The stats looked good in a conservative offense as a sophomore, but his play became more erratic once the playbook was opened up and more responsibility was put on his plate. He can be slow to process and get to his best option. He also struggles to adjust his pre-snap plan to fit the coverage. It’s worth noting Allar’s receivers struggled to win man-coverage matchups for him. Against zone, he makes anticipatory throws and beats coverage at an adequate clip. Mechanical fixes are possible, but confidence, poise and recognition must be the foundation of any rebound. Allar projects as an average backup with high-end traits."

Round Projection: 4
Accolades: SEC Champion (2023), All-SEC honors (2025)
Stats: 31 games, 63.9% completion percentage, 3,948 yards, 28 touchdowns and 5 interceptions
NFL.com draft profile: "Former five-star prospect who waited his turn at Alabama and raised his profile in a single season as the Tide’s starter. Simpson is mechanically sound from a footwork and release perspective, providing a favorable foundation to work from. He’s above average as a processor and decision-maker, but timing and anticipation remain works in progress. Arm talent and velocity are average, which limits his success. His repeatable process should help iron out ball placement inconsistencies the more he plays. Simpson is unfazed by shell coverages and is decisive when attacking intermediate zone pockets for chunk gains. He can break contain and move the sticks with his legs, too. Learning to cut bait and avoid sacks needs to be prioritized. One-year starters rarely “boom” so he’ll need a patient staff and a clear developmental roadmap to fill in the missing pieces."
Round Projection: 2
Stats: 53 games, 60.1% completion percentage, 9,662 yards, 59 touchdowns and 35 interceptions
NFL.com draft profile: "A long, rangy, dual-threat quarterback with upside, Green’s ability to generate explosive plays as a runner and passer helped keep his offense afloat. In-game consistency has been a sticking point, though. He has a long, unorthodox delivery and tends to baby too many throws. He can generate enough velocity and distance to stress defenses over the second and third levels. Green puts the ball in harm’s way at an alarming rate, which will translate to greater trouble against more talented defenders and more complicated coverage reads. His ability to win with his legs on called runs or pocket breaks pushes his value beyond his passing profile. Green’s upside will be tantalizing but his ceiling will only track with his growth as a passer."
Round Projection: 4
Accolades: 2-time FCS Champion (2022, 2023), 4-time All-MVFC (2020, 2022-24) and FCS All-American (2023)
Stats: 63.5% completion percentage, 12,071 yards, 103 touchdowns and 27 interceptions
Round Projection: 7
Accolades: All-Big 12 (2022)
Stats: 49 games, 61.5% completion percentage, 9,282 yards, 67 touchdowns and 31 interceptions
NFL.com draft profile: "Sixth-year senior who was unable to live up to the promise shown earlier in his career. Daniels hasn’t shown the ability to consistently dissect defenses and win with accuracy from the pocket. He has a decent arm but lacks consistent mechanics, timing and three-level ball placement. The vast majority of his interceptions were due to a lack of coverage recognition. Daniels’ running ability helps, but he appears ill-prepared for an NFL passing game."
Round Projection: 7
Accolades: 2-time national champion, All-Conference (2023, 2025)
Stats: 55 games, 69.5% completion percentage, 11,725 yards, 88 touchdowns and 32 interceptions
NFL.com draft profile: "Three-year starter who has weathered his share of ups and downs. Beck has NFL-caliber size and a lot of experience playing in high-leverage games. He recovered from 2024 UCL surgery on his throwing elbow, but he appeared to lose some drive velocity on deep balls and move throws. He works through progressions at a good pace and can throw with anticipation, but he loses track of safeties, throwing into hazardous spots. Beck’s decision-making showed more maturity in his final college season, but pressure can pull him back into old habits. He spins a catchable ball with a compact release, but spotty accuracy leads to pass breakups and a lower conversion rate on tight-window throws. Beck projects as a good backup with the potential to earn a starting job down the road, but he must continue developing game-managing instincts."
