The Dolphins had targeted Beck in the second round last year but were going to snare Edwards at No. 40 if the former wasn't still available. Miami was especially concerned that Beck would be chosen by Philadelphia, which instead picked Kevin Kolb four slots earlier.

"I saw John's picture come up on the screen, and he's got a phone to his ear and I don't," Edwards said Monday following a training camp practice in Rochester, N.Y. "It's frustrating in that regard, but I'm a firm believer things happen for a reason. I'm happy in the position I'm in.
