I've heard a few Dolphins writers, like Alain Poupart in this article, talk about Trent Sherfield like he's a lock to make the team. He has like 37 total catches in his 4-year career. That's hardly worthy of a guaranteed spot. Lynn Bowden, for example, had 28 catches in 10 games his rookie year before getting hurt last year. I personally have more hope for Bowden than Sherfield. What am I missing?

Special teams ace brotha
 
What you are missing is that Trent Sherfield is also a Special Teams ace and his former 49ers Offensive Coordinator, Mike McDaniel probably wanted the Dolphins GM, Chris Grier to sign him. With Mack Hollins departing Miami, I wouldn't be surprised if Sherfield is appointed the Special Teams Captain.

The obsession w Bowden is really weird. The dude probably won’t even make the team.

Why? he was a talented multi-purpose player…consensus all American also starting 7 games at QB his final year. MVP of Kentucky’s bowl game….a top 80 pick in the NFL draft and someone Miami traded a 4th round pick for.

He is exactly the type of player McDaniel likes to utilize….

That still isn't usually something that one would "obsess" over, or act like the guy is a proven talent. First of all, for all his versatility, he has no real dominant standout position. It's also going on three tears since his collegiate glory days, and being worth a rd4 pick (when we had more picks than we would/could roster) isn't exactly a price so high that he get's an extra look.

I hope he comes to camp and demands a roster spot by his play. On the other hand, he's a bit of a "JAG" until proven otherwise.

Fins lost Hollins
 
Dolphin fans have been ruined since Shula and Marino left (include myself) our offenses have SUCKED for a quarter century….
Shula could find guys like Duper and Clayton and Terry Kirby and David Overstreet and Tony Martin and so many others…and many of us were spoiled by the fact that Shula or others around him were often very good at finding offensive talent…

With the knuckle head coaches we’ve had we have been SO mediocre for so long that we have ZERO faith in the stooges in our front office…

Sleepers are often the difference between sucking and being contender….Mostert is an example of a guy who was a late round pick that made a difference to his team..

This coach probably sees something here.

Many coaches tend towards names over potentially developing talent - because these coaches are limited in their ability to help develop guys…

The geek head coach of the Dolphins seems to like to get guys out of no where to get going in the right direction…

Production and talent MUST come from unexpected players because injuries are such a large part of the game…that’s likely where Sherfield comes in - a speed player with big upside…

I hope we can get back to a time that if the coach likes a player we trust that he knows what the F he’s doing - especially on offense…
 
As already noted, he is a top special team player and he is also noted to be an excellent blocking WR. Something that is extremely important in the run oriented offense McDaniel is bringing to Miami.

I believe he will definitely be one of the WR’s on the finale 53. With him making the finale 53 and the
drafting of Ezukanma, I believe it will come down to Preston Williams, Bowen, and the remaining WR’s now on the roster for the 6th WR position.

Hill, Waddle, and Wilson are locks for the 1-3 WR positions.

This. Sherfield will make the team for STs. Preston Williams and Bowden are fighting for the last WR roster spot. My hope is we keep Bowden, but we’ll see.

Right. I think he's also an ascending talent and likely receiver four or five for Miami.
