Overview
- ESPN analyst Benjamin Solak predicts Miami will use a fourth-round pick on Penn State’s Drew Allar as depth behind new starter Malik Willis.
- General manager Jon‑Eric Sullivan has said the team will draft quarterbacks every year or every other year, which supports a Day‑3 swing on a passer.
- Willis signed a three-year deal worth roughly $67 million with guarantees, so any rookie addition would function as insurance rather than an immediate threat.
- Drew Allar brings classic pocket-passer size and arm talent but is viewed as a project after a season-ending ankle injury and conservative downfield output at Penn State.
- Analysts note Miami’s extra mid-round picks, including three in the third round, and an existing room with Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller make a developmental flyer feasible without stalling other rebuild needs.
