Linebacker buyer's remorse. You know there is some deep disappointment with spending $27 million for free agent acquisitions, Ellerbe and Wheeler, when there is this volume of talk about Mosley.
On Saturday, Adam Beasley with the Miami Herald gave more credence to the rumors:

Picking Mosely would show that Hickey is focused on leaner, faster linebackers against Wheeler and Ellerbe who are both over 240 pounds.
“I think I’m one of the best,” Mosley told reporters at his Pro Day and draft pundits seem to agree. Frank Cooney with NFLDraftScout.com called him "a must-draft, mobile mass of natural football genius who has no negatives and works full speed, full time,”
The Ravens, who pick two spots above the Fins are also interested in Mosley who has visited Baltimore.
But beyond the Ravens, there is a real problem trying to pick up Mosley with the 19th pick: Dolphins are still in desperate need of a prime time Right Tackle-- a position in big demand in the NFL.
What will happen on draft day? I'm thinking the best laid plans and NFL swamis will fall short.
Why? I'll quote Yogi Berra, the source for universal knowledge:
"It's hard to make prediction," he famously said, "especially about the future."
