I've heard injury Prone for Golladay but Samuel has only played one 16 game season in his 4 years, so has Golladay. Golladay was more yds in 2 seasons than Samuel has in his 4 years. Samuel has 14 TDs in 4 yrs, Golladay had 11 in one year. Golladay got injured last year during a pandemic year with no off-season to prepare for the season like alot of other players did. Golladay played in 5 games last season and had 2 TDs Samuel played the whole year and had 3. Samuels highest yds per reception in his 4 years was 12.6 Golladays lowest in his 4 years was 15.2. Golladay is 6'4, Samuel is 5'11. Golladay is an end zone threat and a #1 receiver. Samuel is a self proclaimed Slot Receiver. WE DONT NEED A SLOT RECEIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED A #1!!!!!!!!! Golladay had more Receiving yds in 2 seasons than Samuel in all 4 of his years combined. Samuels has only been over 800 yds once with 847, Golladay has a 1000 and 1100 yard seasons. Samuel is another Ted Ginn Jr
 
Because right now we don’t have any receivers that can get quick separation, catch the ball, and have the speed to do something with it after the catch.

Galloday can win the 50-50 ball, which is great. But that doesn’t seem to be Tua’s game. If last year was any indication, he tends to shy away from the risky throw, and lean more towards the slants and quick throws. Which is perfectly fine, but you need the receivers that fit that mold to make it work.
 
If separation and speed is what we need most, then why not Fuller instead? He’s had some injury concerns, but his speed and separation are elite and show up much better than Samuels does IMO.

Tua's got to get over not being able throw to covered guys. Very few receivers in the league can get good separation. DBs are just too good and fast. Most teams have to scheme guys open and or have guys like Golladay that can go up and get it. It seems to be the norm now. Tyreke Hill's not walking through that door. This doesn't mean I want Golladay over Samuel. I would be happy with either. We do need one of them, though. Plus someone in the draft.
 
Everyone else has it covered- Redundant to what we have in Parker, and Preston Williams. But Golladay is definitely better than either of them, I just don’t want to spend the money on more of the same.

Samuel probably hasn’t even reached his full potential yet.... and a lot of us are just speed junkies, it is what it is. But he brings that and some ability to get open and is likely a lot cheaper than Kenny G.

Also- age- Samuel is 24 vs KG is 28 I think
 
This is an absolute great post. With the tier 2 guys getting 13+ mill it’s not a big enough saving to not go after the top guy. There has been so much Golladay slander from dolphins fans, everyone thinks he’s just Devante Parker. Golladay is the best free agent WR on the market and if Miami were to sign him he would be a massive improvement. I still think we need a speed threat for the offense but that can come later in the draft. I really like Curtis Samuel too and I think his best football is ahead of him, but he’s gotten a little overhyped lately.
 
With that all being said JuJu is the guy I would want he’s the combo of both those guys. Good size, can play slot or outside, he’s young only 25. And his skill set seems like it would fit better with what we have.
 
Also OP, in a different thread I saw you mention Parker as being 6’ 1” , he’s at least 6’ 3”, so with KG being 6’ 4” .... that’s not a huge difference
 
But all in all- if we sign any of them, KG, JuJu, or Samuel- I will be happy. Maybe less happy than if we got the one I want but it will still be someone to improve the room and we can still add more in the draft which should be the the plan anyways.

if we go with Juju or Kenny, I’d go for speed speed and more speed in the draft. Waddle, Toney, Eskridge- need 1 from that group

I don't want either one. Draft two WR's. Use the money to get Andrews as we can really use a veteran center. The draft is loaded with good/great WR's.

In my dream land we have money for Andrews and a wr. We need a center bad and idk if I want to count on a rookie

IMO the only concerning hole we have is OC, which would make Andrews an excellent signing. Even in a world where we don’t trade down we have the ability to add 2 WR, a HB and a defender (if we so chose) in our top 4 picks. We could also target a guy like Meinerz in the 3rd or 4th as the “heir” to Andrews based on his contract length.
