Why the Miami Dolphins might cut Tua Tagovailoa instead of trading him, despite league-wide interest.

The board starts with noise. Alf treats the weekend chatter as mostly social media overreaction, since teams did not seem especially shaken by it. Carson Beck becomes the first real test case. The read is simple enough: Beck aced interviews, should be fine on the whiteboard, and sounds like the recall-heavy quarterback coaches tend to like. Then the arm shows up. Consistency is the problem, with power and accuracy fading in workouts in a way Alf thinks matters. The whiteboard is not the concern. That difference gives the segment its draft room shape: comfort with the process on one side, functional throwing reliability on the other. The Hurricanes prospects get a sharper edge. Jacoby Thomas being put by some people on the same level as Keontae Scott clearly bothers Alf, and he says so. On his board, Keontae Scott is a Top 100 player. Jacoby Thomas feels more like a Day 3 prospect. The nickel value question is the hinge. Alf leaves room for NFL circles to value that role differently than he does, especially compared with a deep third safety. Still, he draws the line pretty firmly. By draft week, he would be shocked if those two are really on equal footing. The broader Hurricanes note is that people around the program expect all 10 Combine participants to be drafted, which makes the class feel deep beyond the headline names. Notre Dame's Jadarian Price gets the closing note. Alf relays that Price is expected to be RB2 in this draft and would have been RB2 in the 2025 NFL draft too, which puts him above Omarion Hampton in a lot of eyes.
