15. Miami Dolphins: Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas

The Dolphins have several pressing needs on offense. They could fill all of these needs this offseason, but until they find a franchise quarterback, they will never be a legitimate title contender.

Ryan Mallett is the best pure passer in the draft. People want to rant and rave about the athletic ability of some of the quarterbacks in this year’s class, but the top two signal callers in the game, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, are average Joes athletically. I’ll take the guy with the best arm.

Some may consider this a reach. Ideally, the Dolphins would trade down and still snag Mallett later in the first, but if they are as convicted as I am that he can be a franchise quarterback it may be worth staying put to make sure they get their man.
