A Good Problem to Have: The Miami Dolphins Log Jam at WR - Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have a good problem heading into the 2021 season. A very good problem when you sit down and think about it. The Dolphins have too many good wide receivers on their roster and probably not enough roster spots to keep them all. In 2020 the Miami Dolphins wide receiver group was...

I think Wilson OR Grant are in trouble, surprised if both stay. Miami always sides with youth over veterans and I think they continue with that with the WR group.

Said elsewhere, we need a thread discussing the needs/desires Miami has for their receiving corp and how individual receivers match those needs. I'm confident the last 1-2 to make the roster will get there by ST. Miami will want at least a couple DVP-type and a couple Wilson-type. It appears everyone has DVP/Waddle/Fuller on the roster. Beyond that, opinions diverge.
IMO, the young guys (most of the receivers) will be judged on ceiling. That puts Ford at a disadvantage. Bowden/Perry are nearly identical. I expect only one to make it. Not mentioned here is the likelihood of a guy placed on the PS to be poached. For an EXTREME example, Miami knows placing waddle on PS is an automatic poach. Perry less likely. Someone may make the 53 just because of the fear of their being poached. side comment: when was the last time fans have seen enough talent in the receivers there was a fear someone on the PS would be poached?

If they keep 5 - Parker, Waddle, Fuller, Wilson, Williams.
if they keep 6, which I believe they will, it will come down to Bowden-Perry-Hurns.

As with some, barring injuries, I think we trade Parker. He can help us, but other guys can too and, if I understand correctly, we can use the cap room. :-)
 
I don't think we are likely to keep just 5. I think we're a lock to keep 6 and may keep 7 for that first week. I wouldn't be surprised to see the 7th guy waived a week later when Fuller returns and we augment another position with someone off the waiver wire.

I was just posting in the Club about this very thing and I agree 100%. The only question is can the team find value out of either of them from a team who needs help at WR?

Waddlle is a rookie, Fuller has a history of injuries and he isn’t eligible to play in the first game. Williams has played two seasons and ended up on IR in both seasons. Wilson didn’t play last year and still has to show he is the same WR he was before he was injured in 2018.

Bowden is still learning to play WR in the NFL, just as Perry is. Hurns is better than Bowden and Perry at this time but salary might end getting him released if he isn’t traded. The rest of the WR’s are nothing but ST caliber or practice squad players. So I see no way they trade Parker.
 
"First and foremost, I think the guy who may have a breakout season as he is totally flying under the radar is Preston Williams. He enters the 2021 season as the Dolphins’ 4th best WR behind Fuller, Parker, and Waddle. He has zero pressure on him, and when he is on the field, he won’t be the focal point of opposing defenses."

Certainly could make sense.
