WR Musings

[AJ Duhe]

1. I think Parcells and Ireland would have moved up in the 2nd round and taken Kenny Britt or Hakeem Nicks if either had been available. Both have shown potential to be #1 receivers. When they were both gone, the braintrust didn't see another receiver on the board with a 2nd round pick.

2. Some players have "IT", some don't. Desean Jackson and Ted Ginn are the same size. There were questions about Jackson's route running, hands, and toughness coming out of college. Jackson has answered all the questions. Ginn never will. Just strange.

3. How many Dolphin fans would have traded a #1 for Roy Williams when he played for the Lions? How many fans would have been excited with a T.O. signing? Both players look like garbage now. Just goes to show we need to be patient with the braintrust. I believe they're scouting well and we're more likely to draft a talent we can develop rather than acquire and pay for someone else's castoffs.

Roy Williams sucks would have never traded that much for one player. Look where Culter has gotten the Bears. TO is still a great recever didnt you see him put up 198 yards last week. I would kill for Miami to have TO right now Henne would light it up. Edwards and Fitzpatrick are not even starting material. Do not mortgage you future for one player havent the RAIDERS, REDSKINS AND THE JETS TAUGHT US ANYTHING. Get FA and draft one on the first day. I agree if they slipped we would not have drafted White. I would have been going crazy if we drafted Nicks he has some talent.

This is HUGE speculation based 100% on the fact that you like these players after watching 11 weeks of their NFL season. If either of those players were putting up sub par numbers you would not even consider the notion that the coaching staff was looking at those guys (or even WR) at their first of two 2nd round picks.

Actually, both players were given low first round grades by a lot of guys. I was never with the camp that wanted the Phins to draft them in the first, but I would have been pleased if one of them had fallen to #44 and the Brainstrust had selected them.

That said, I think this is the year the Fins make a splash by picking a couple WR early. Maybe package a 1st, a 3rd, and Camarillo to move into the top ten to select Dez Bryant and take Demaryius Thomas in the 2nd. That would give the Fins two rather large receivers with excellent hands and legit 4.4-range speed to build the passing game around for years to come.

I never like trading for players in the NFL unless it is on draft day. This is not baseball, as teams win championships, not a pitcher you pick up on the trade deadline. Teams are made in training camp that is why I think it is always smarter to build in FA and the draft. This is where the Pats are so far ahead of anyone else. They got Moss and Welker, the best tandem in the NFL in my opinion for a 2nd, 4th, and 7th round pick. At the same time they got a 2nd for Matt Cassel and a 1st for Seymour. Now even if Wilfork leaves they can pick a solid NT with their top 5 draft pick from Oakland.

 

[Elliott 1]

I have Kenny Britt on my fantasy team. I have been watching his every move.

He isn't the least bit impressive. Your in dreamland man.

 

[Elliott 1]

I predict the Dolphins will not draft any WR's but rather sign Miles Austin to a huge contract and look to competion at the number five after trading Camarillo.

I think Julius Pruitt will have a chance. If not next year, another year on a PS and he might surprise a lot of people.

Miles Austin is good, but the CBA is gone next year and I don't believe Jerry Jones will let him go. He could drop a hundred million on Austin and not feel a thing. Besides, there's no guarantee he'd be worth whatever the Fins wanted to give him, which is why it's better to draft your receivers and mold them into the offense.

First off Oaklands draft pick sent to NE is for 2011, second the Moss deal was pure luck that he sucked out in Oakland and they gave him away. They could have gotten more for Cassell, Denver let that be known. The first for Seymour is great except they now suck at DE and it will catch up to them in the playoffs in a close game (my opinion of course but I said before the season started they will suffer for that move). It may look good in 2011 but if it ends in no Superbowl in 2010 then it's a huge mistake.

I agree 100% on the FA and draft deal, there is alway a place for trades and the offseason is of course the best time to do that. I hope we become sellers this year if we can potentially move some guys to position ourselves for another great draft. There are only a handfull of Receivers I would trade a 1st and 3rd for and both A&C Johnson would never be available same as L.Fitz and BMarshall shouldn't be either unless Josh is a real dummy.

I don't see how a guy getting kicked out of college football and shady character has top ten value in the 2010 draft !

 

[johngarryvo]

imo AZ lets Boldin walk back to Pahokee this offseason...they're set with Fitz/Breaston/Doucette at WR...we make him our 1, Camarillo 2, Bess the slot and build out from there. blast.

Not only that but all the teams that will be picking in the top 10 have much greater needs then WR. QB's, OT's, DT and Berry will fill the top ten.

 

[Jehuty13]

I pray Boldin walks from AZ and comes down to Miami. My only concern is he wants something comparable to Fitz's contract. . . would that be something the Dolphins are willing to fork over? I hope so.

I just hate how much this guy gets hurt every year.

 

[EFWilson]

What Miami doesnt get addressed in the draft will need to be fixed via FA. The best WR,ILB,S,TE and now NT in each round. The answers to most of Miami's offensive and defensive issues are not going to be found of other teams trash heaps. If Miami can get Boldin at a good price I would like that, but he isnt worth the breaking the bank for.
