We drafted hartline in the 4th, clyde gates in the 4th...roberto wallace and pruitt both have upside...how would a guy drafted in the 4th or 5th round be better than those guys? Let them develop. Face it, most of you just wanted a new face, a new roll of the dice. Thats all these guys are, a roll of the dice...and as good as a name value guy like Greg Childs or Tommy Streeter, there is a reason they didnt get drafted till late. Let the GM manage and the coaches coach and we will be fine with what weve got.
 
Streeter & Jones have more potential to be a #1 or #2 than Marlon Moore, Pruitt, and Roberto Wallace. All of whom we'd have hoped to show something now. No one has stepped up to become our Victor Cruz yet. Who knows what Gates will do

Thank you! Best post of the day.
 
They're better than Moore/wallace/Pruitt. What har they done? Do you really just want to trust they become a factor? They need more help. These guys (including Hartline and Bess) did nothing WITH Marshall taking double coverage as far as becoming a legit home run threat.

Plus everyone in the draft is a "roll of the dice". 1st round or 7th.
 
Still can't believe a decent wr was not chosen. Who in the world will Tannehill throw to?

Dolphin fans.

all in for Tannehill potential with the 8th overall but a 5th round late pick for Streeter who is 6'5 runs a 4.3 is a wasted pick & has no potential.

You can't explain that.
 
because some of the players in draft have more potential but then i guess philbin is in love with our Wrs. Drafting one Wr doesn't hurt i dont get why they are ignoring it -_-
 
I'm really not too worried about our WR corps. We have a talented young RB's (Bush a little older), and more toys at Te...we are most definately developing a talented WCO. A #1 WO will be outdated unless you have the like of Fitz, they take 2 guys off the field...but sound gameplanning will disrupt 5 guys in the middle and make stuff open up in the short passing game. Very rare are the Moss's, Fitz, Rices, Johnsons...the rest are supplemental. Not going to find your next standout HOF WO in later rounds
 
The point is, the recievers we currently have on our roster have had several seasons to step up and shine and have not done so. We would be better served to bring in some talent at the position instead of bringing in special team projects.

Never said Streeter wouldn't be a great pick in the 5th, 6th, or 7th for that matter. I'd love it! However, i'm tired of everyone crying about a WR.
 
With no legit WR threat Ds will stack the box and stuff the run, this making Moore/ Garrard/ Tannehill beat them. Do we not remember the dink n dunk offense before we got Marshall? We need WRs. How could taking a streetwr or mcnutt over a backup LB hurt esp when there are plenty of FA LBs.

If they have #1 or #2 potential why are they still available heading into round 6? The Dolphins arent the only team who has been passing on them round after round.
