Nervous about the WR position

[Brian Fein]

I thought Wallace/Stills/Landry would be a good mix of talent.

I think Kenny Stills being your #1 WR is horrific.

Nothing against Kenny Stills, but he's a kid.  He's not a proven #1 WR.  He's a nice player with some skills but I think the Dolphins still need someone else.

What about Michael Crabtree?  Seems to be available, but not sure about his situation. 

How about Reggie Wayne?  I know he's old but he would be a good veteran presence around the young kids.

What about the draft?  I imagine we will grab a guy in the early-to-mid rounds.  Who's available?

Other free agents to note: Hakeen Micks, Wes Welker, Lance Moore, Jason Avant, Harry Douglas, Greg Jennings, Stevie Johnson, Cecil Shorts, Miles Austin, Donnie Avery, Brandon Lloyd, Dwayne Bowe.

I'm just not sold that Kenny Stills is going to be the team savior.  Who else is there?

Right now we do not have a viable option to be a #1 receiver. None of the guys you named, in my mind, are a viable #1 receiver. Some of them used to be, but no longer are. Mike Wallace was also not a viable #1 receiver.

We still need to look WR in round 1, and it does make sense to bring in a veteran, but don't expect any of them to be a viable #1 receiver.

[fyo]

Jennings is the one that makes the most sense to me. It depends on what kind of money he'll want and it won't remove the need to grab a quality WR in the draft.

[Sunstroke]

I think having a true #1 WR is great, but it also isn't 100% necessary. Neither team in this year's Super Bowl had a #1 WR on their roster. I do consider both Stills and Landry to be quality #2's though, and if you can get a third #2 quality WR in round 2-3 of the draft, then having 3 #2 WRs, especially if you have a quality receiving TE, can constitute a solid receiving corps.

If one of the big-3 WRs in this class (White, Cooper, Parker, in that order) are available, then sure...go get your #1 WR. If not, don't reach for one there. Go for the best available talent at linebacker, or safety (if Collins is still there). Then go OG/WR/LB with your next 3 selections.

At this point, I am as concerned, if not more so, about the safety position. There is literally "nothing" worthwhile at S in the free agent pool, and there is really only one S in this draft class that looks worth a shit. Having a talented young strong safety like Landon Collins lining up with Reshad Jones would be extremely nice.

I would consider Gronk a #1 receiver. He also happens to be an incredible blocking tight end.

Shorts is in Houston today visiting
Bowe was in Cleveland yesterday visiting
Crabtree is supposedly down to SD or Washington
Wayne will Retire I am guessing
Harry Douglas SIGNED with Tenn
Stevie Johnson visited with SD and is in New England today on a visit

[Spider-Dan]

Get Jennings.

[Phishfan]

I see us drafting Parker.

[disappointedyearly]

If we were able to get Jennings or Wayne at a decent price, I would be happy. Not so much for their production, but their mentoring to our young receivers.

[MikeO]

I see us drafting Parker.

Fins are gonna have to move up to get one of the Top 3 WR's in Rd 1. Too many teams in need of WR's are ahead of us. Raiders, Jets, Cleveland, New Orleans (after Stills trade this is a need)..among others who might grab one if they guy they want isn't there (ie Rams.)

Cooper, White, and Parker will go quick in Rd 1. Real quick. Fins need to move up to the Top 10 to get one of these guys. And I'm all for it honestly, trade up and go big! If they stay at #14 they might end up with the next WR after Parker who they have rated the highest.

Jets have Marshall and Decker. They aren't going WR in round 1.

Jets have Marshall and Decker. They aren't going WR in round 1.

Nothing would surprise me. Marshall is a stop-gap for them. After this year they can cut him loose easy plus he is a head-case who can snap at any time. And when you have a garbage QB you want to surround him with all the talent you can.

[masterfins]

Instead of bringing in some retread overpaid veteran at WR, I'd rather see Miami go out and re-sign Clay, and run a two TE set, and make due with the receivers they have on the roster (plus a later draft pick).  The added benefit being it would screw Buffalo's plans.

They all have other needs as well. Parker may not be there but may still be.

There are 6 other rounds they can use to find a WR. They aren't going to spend a #1 pick on a WR when they need a QB amongst other things.
