A blurb from fox sports......................
What if Miami just chooses to let time expire without picking a player? The NFL doesn't penalize them and the Dolphins would still retain the pick. They can turn in their pick at any time. So they would let St. Louis pick, Atlanta pick, maybe even Oakland. At any point, they can just walk up to the podium and turn in their choice, and not have to pay 1st overall pick money to the guy. Since Miami has so many needs, they really can target any one of 5 or 6 guys with the pick. Once St. Louis and Atlanta pick, Miami's phone would be ringing off the hook with trade offers. Dallas, for instance, would be more likely.
Obviously a scenario that would never happen but interesting thoughts for off season boredom.
