I'd add Cecil Shorts to that list Slimm. Maybe Andrew Hawkins as well.
One, out of 170 returns.Welker had a history of taking kickoffs back for TD's before he left Miami.
Here's a slot receiver we could have/should have drafted in the third round. This is what a playmaker looks like. Take notes:

Thanks for ruining my day. Hilton might have made the difference in us going to the playoffs last season.
Wallace, Hilton, Hartline, Keller would be a hell of a receiving corps and we would be in a much easier position going into the draft.
Of those, only Welker and Cobb had a better WPA per game than Bess, and by only 0.01 and 0.02 points, respectively.Without even considering the TE's who operate split out wide in the slot, these are the slot receivers I'd take over Davone Bess immediately without even thinking about it.... I'm sure I'm forgetting some...
Percy Harvin
Wes Welker
Harry Douglas
Lance Moore
Victor Cruz
Emmanuel Sanders
T.Y. Hilton
Randall Cobb
Doug Baldwin
Danny Amendola
That's probably a little harsh WV, but if you can get a fifth round pick for him, with as deep as this draft is at WR, you take it and run. And you shed a little salary in the process. IMHO depending how the draft goes, he could be a cap casualty in the fall anyway.
That's not just a little harsh, that was just straight dumb.
I remember the thread advocating Matt Moore as the starter of the futureLook through this guy's post history at all the stat spinning nonsensical threads just like this one that he's provided you in order to defend bum after bum.
This guy has to be an engineer with that attitude and knack for spinning digits.... I deal with 'em everyday.

Rest assured we'll all keep WPA in mind when Davone Bess surpasses Victor Cruz.
The argument is that Bess is a playmaker. The best measure of playmaking ability is WPA. What the Dolphins could or should get in trade for Bess is irrelevant.Unfortunately, the league's talent evaluators don't use this irrelevant statistic to make their personnel decisions. That's why a guy like Percy Harvin draws a 1st rounder + some, and Davone Bess couldn't come close. Otherwise, Miami might be able to fleece someone in a trade for Bess. Again, unfortunately that's not reality.
