In Adam Gase’s ideal world, a hypothetical universe where everything aligned for him perfectly before the 2018 season, the Miami Dolphins would have found a way to get atop that draft to select Baker Mayfield.
Gase and Mayfield were kindred spirits, and if the Dolphins’ former coach was going to move on from Ryan Tannehill, it would have been for the Heisman Trophy winner, a four-year starter with a 29-30 record — whom the Cleveland Browns can’t pay another NFL team enough to take off their hands a week before the 2022 NFL draft.
Gase believed in Baker that much.
