Should the Dolphins target a QB in the draft?

Are the Dolphins committed to QB Chad Henne? The owner wasn’t talking at the Super Bowl. But GM Jeff Ireland said that the team was committed to Henne … for now.
The Dolphins appear ready to perform their due diligence on the available crop of college quarterbacks, according to the Sun Sentinel. The Dolphins are going to work out Auburn’s Cam Newton, Washington’s Jake Locker, Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick and Florida State’s Christian Ponder, among others. All in an attempt to fill the huge shoes left by Cleo Lemon.
Just kidding. Lemon was one of the 15 quarterbacks who started for the team since Dan Marino has retired.
The question to be posed for Dolphins fans, do you want to give Henne another chance or is it time to move on to a new quarterback? More specifically, who do you want to be the quarterback of the Dolphins in Week 1 of the 2011 NFL season — Henne, Locker, … Marino?
If there are some rule changes to the franchise tag, maybe Peyton Manning will be available. Though, that seems like a long shot. Almost as long as Joey Harrington getting another shot with the Dolphins.
