Fins: Receiver? No way

If you've seen the ESPN scroll, you'll seen that Mel Kiper continues to project Maryland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey to the Dolphins at No. 25.

Heyward-Bey has great size and strength, as noted on this scouting report.

Now that you're done reading that, realize this:

You just wasted your time.

Bill Parcells does not take receivers in the first round, unless the owner makes the call (Terry Glenn in 1996).

And I don't see the Dolphins doing that this year.

They want linemen and linebackers.

So what happens at receiver? I expect them to draft one or two in later rounds, while developing Brandon London and after signing someone at a reasonable price in free agency.

I like Brian Robiskie (Ohio State) with a second or third round pick.

Maybe someone like Ramses Barden (Cal Poly)?

He's freaking HUGE at 6'6", 227lbs. He has decent speed, especially for a guy his size, but he might be more of a tight end in the pros - if he can block. He did pretty well in the Senior Bowl, but his combine will really determine where he lands. Currently projected low second to third round.

I DON'T want to spend a first round pick on a receiver. With or without family...

That is why Parcells is a winner. Save the sexy picks for when you have a sexy team. Right now we are about as sexy as Oprah in a bikini.

  Ewwww....  did you have to go there?

  Anyways both Kiper and McShay are fooling themselves if they think that Miami would take a WR with their first round pick.  Especially a WR that is essentially a clone of Ted Ginn Jr. in Darrius Heyward-Bey.  The pick will be either a OLB, C, OG, ILB.

Duke Robinson baby!!!!  That Oklahoma OG absolutely BLOWS people off the line.  Put his ass next to Jake Long and watch that whole side of the line collapse as Ronnie or Ricky scamper for a long gain.

Glad people are paying attention to the guys I've mentioned we should draft lol.  Robinson or Mack (The guy that makes Stroke wet...hell me too, he's a stud) would be awesome with our first pick or any of the first round DB's...Sean Smith in the second round would be nice, but we could go 1-2 with DB's and I wouldn't be upset.

Ramses Barden is the one guy I want us to draft more than anyone.  If he goes as a WR he'll tower over DBs and if goes TE, he'll be like an Antonio Gates.  4.5 speed isn't all that slow either...Fitzgerald ran a 4.6 at the combine.  I think he's a little too small weight wise to be TE though.
