Dolphins GM: Pat White is a quarterback
Former West Virginia QB Pat White might be the most exciting and talked about No. 44 pick in NFL Draft history. His selection by Miami, home of the Wildcat offense, started a round of questioning. Here are some answers.
1. Let's call it the WildPat, shall we? And uh, yeah, the Dolphins are going to use White heavily in their gadget offense. It's going to be a lot tougher to defend with a true passing threat.
2. White is a quarterback; he's not going to work at wide receiver. In fact, Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland says that White will compete with Chad Henne to be Miami's quarterback of the future.
This isn't as crazy as you'd think. Analysts such as Mike Mayock and Ron Jaworski thought White was a top-four quarterback in this draft. Jaws said no quarterback had better anticipation than White. He can throw it. And he can run it.
This is going to be a lot of fun, unless you are an opposing coach.

Spot On!! Pat White is a winner!!
As a fins fan, if the Miami heirarchy feels that Pat White has more potential than Chad Henne as the future QB of the franchise, now would be the time to perhaps make a trade with Denver who needs a QB. Don't make a circus out what is shaping up to be a great rebuild. Who knows, Miami could possibly get Denver's remaining first round next year out of this, or possibly a second and third rounder. Could even be a combination of players and draft picks.
