Dolphins selection of Parker completes WR rebuild

[D0lphan72]

It began with an exodus of experienced veterans, and it ended with an influx of youth and athleticism. But now that the Miami Dolphins have added Louisville wide receiver DeVante Parker to their offense, it's safe to say that their rebuild at the wide receiver position is complete.
For the first time since 2011, the Dolphins have a receiver who can dominate on the boundary, win jump balls, beat one-on-one coverage and stretch a defense vertically with the long speed to make big plays down the field. Parker is that receiver.
At 6'3" and 209 pounds, Parker ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine and posted a 36.5" vertical jump. Those are the kinds of measurables the Dolphins haven't had all in one receiver since Brandon Marshall left the fold.
Pair Parker with 2014 second-round pick Jarvis Landry and 2015 trade acquisition Kenny Stills, and the Dolphins have a complete set of receivers that can threaten a defense at all levels of the field.
Landry dominates on short routes from the slot; Stills and Parker are both versatile enough to line up on the outside or the slot, but Stills dominates at the intermediate level and Parker is primed to be the Dolphins' primary deep threat.

Since I don't Cherry, he is the strawberry on the top of the cake. Is it me or does it seems like things are now coming together for the team ? Two years ago we would've missed out on this guy or would've paid a ransom to get him.

But, but, but ...

Where, oh where, are we gonna replace those 10 TD's the almighty Wallace scored for us?



Kinda amazing how those posters have STFU lately, no?

And don't forget Hartline's 1000 yards. He did it twice! Can you get a 1000 yards?1!

A thousand of these, maybe:

1,000? Prolly not ... I do feel like a drank 100 of 'em last night. Does that count?

Damn. I'm thirsty now.

Potentially, we have a legit #1 in Parker, a legit #2 in Stills, and a top 5 slot receiver in Landry for Tannehill. Could not have expected anything better. I would add in Miller, Ajayi, Jennings, and Cameron as having a TON of weapons for Lazor to play with.

IF we add Collins, the O is set and only Miller is a FA next year. I see a very scary O, and congrats to the team in putting this together. GREAT JOB!!!

I also think Matt Hazel has more talent then most people seem to see. He might not make the Dolphins roster, but I wouldn't dismiss his NFL chances just yet. Another real sleeper is LaRon Byrd. He's still raw, but at 6'4 and 220 pounds Byrd has shown flashes of having the skills to be a fifth receiver in the NFL.
