The Facts:
If Tannehill remains on the board at No. 8, it's believed that the Dolphins will be inclined to take him. On the surface, the decision would seem to flow from first-year OC Mike Sherman, the architect of Tannehill's transition from WR to QB in college. But a league source tells PFT that the man pushing hardest for Tannehill is owner Stephen Ross.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to PFT's Mike Florio, Ross desperately wants to turn the page on yet another embarrassing offseason, which has seen the Dolphins fail to hire Jeff Fisher as coach and Peyton Manning as QB. They also whiffed on new coach Joe Philbin's pupil with the Packers, Matt Flynn, even though it's unclear whether the Dolphins decided they didn't want Flynn or Flynn decided he didn't want the Dolphins, or a little bit of both. ... Worth noting: A "very, very, very highly placed source" with the Dolphins tells Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald that the report isn't true. We'll take both sides of this story for what they are: Pre-draft fun and games. We'll all know the truth soon enough.
