• Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland, coach Tony Sparano and defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni met with defensive end Chris Long for more than two hours on the Virginia campus Tuesday. Ireland and Sparano led a group that met with quarterback Matt Ryan on Monday at Boston College. The Dolphins will meet with offensive tackle Jake Long in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Wednesday. All three remain options for the No. 1 pick.

• UM players -- including Kenny Phillips, Calais Campbell, Tavares Gooden and Kyle Wright -- will work out for the Dolphins on April 11. Though some believe Phillips will be available when Miami picks 32nd, he said Miami wasn't among 24 teams that met with him at the NFL combine. With more pressing needs (offensive line, etc.), it's doubtful that the Dolphins will take a safety that high. . . .

• The Dolphins -- who were scheduled to work out Michigan quarterback Chad Henne on Tuesday, have inquired about scheduling a private session with Louisville's Brian Brohm, who also could be available at pick No. 32. . . . The first round has only 31 picks -- New England forfeited its first round selection as punishment for Spygate. The University of Arkansas said no Dolphins official attended its pro day Tuesday -- more evidence that Darren McFadden is not on the Dolphins' radar.

Its about time this freaking team start looking at Hurricane Players

I wouldn't mind if they drafted Brohm.  He did some good things at Louisville.

You have the same QB skill set wise in John Beck...nearly exactly the same.

Plus, you don't need a QB. Plus, Brohm isn't that great going against Big East defenses in an easy offensive system (WRs are wide open).

I didn't say he was the answer, but he would be worth a look in the later rounds

No chance of Brohm lasting past the early part of round two...so later rounds are out of the question for this prospect.

Except for size (Brohm is 6'4", Beck 6'2"), and age (Despite Beck being a rookie last year, he is 4 years older than Brohm), I can see some similarities, but calling their skill sets nearly exactly the same sits a little funny to me. When I watch Brohm throw, I see a little bit stronger arm and passes with less flutter to them. And while you bring up the competition that Brohm faced, the same could be said for Beck at BYU.

Just my $.02 anyway

Actually Brohm faced some much tougher defenses in the Big East than the MWC and WAC ever have.  We all know the WAC and MWC are defensive wastelands.
