2010 Draft Position Profile: Wide Receiver

Rip me a new one.

I really have no comment there, Nicky. Whatever boats your float..

Well done. Of course, what else should I come to expect? I hope and do expect to see many more of these as the off-season progresses. Thank God I’ll have something to keep my interest until FA begins.

Cause he’s the one flying up & past Spiller to block.
Fast little dude.

Randy Moss

yeesh coming on a little strong arent we

I see alot of Andre Johnson in him with his speed and break tackle. Lafell drops alot of balls as well so I dont have him that highly rated in my book.

I’d take Benn in the first if Berry, McClain, Spiller are off the board. No doubt in my mind he’s going to be elite

I just downed a bottle of Scotch and sped home while throwing a vagunge at my girl. Lucky my other ho left her brass knuckles in the car to complete the vagunge.

Good post Nicky, don’t take the Marshall thing personally. I know your not for signing him which made all the more frustrating for me since we both want the same thing because of compensation but I have the additional concerns too. Safe to say I don’t think this will be an issue and frankly we probably wasted time earlier but I do understand what your saying about assuming the best in people or at least hoping for the best.

You guys have me looking at Spiller as a real solid option but for me it’s Bryant. We can certainly get away with the RBs we have but to add a talent like Bryant would really take Henne to the next level. If Spiller is the pick then my only concern is moving Ronnie, Ricky or Cobbs for additional picks.

but I wanted to add that if we didn’t have to give up picks and the deal was safe to get out from under if he messed around then I’d be okay with him. I’m all for second chances although this would be chance 5 or 6 but you see what I’m saying.

Right now even without the picks he’ll command $30-40 mil in guaranteed money which is really an anchor on the roster if he doesn’t get straight. Short term, low risk, sure. It comes with the territory in the NFL and I understand that. I’m still looking for the 3-4 minutes that were at the end of that OTL where Ley talks directly to Marshall. That’s where you can really get a feel for him and the situation. I’ll let you know if I find it.

but I don’t like them at 12, i don’t like any offensive players at 12, and really only Berry and Suh would I feel confident at 12, but their gonna be gone by 5, lol.

I like Santonio Holmes more than any of the guys coming out this year, if he is available, I would love to get him down here.

I like Demaryius Thomas, the simple fact that he posted outstanding numbers in a SUPER run heavy offense is amazing. The ebst aspect of his game, or should I say the added bonus, is his run blocking abilities. Imagine how much more yardage our tandem in the back field can get when you got a guy that knows how to throw a block.

Freddie Barnes to me is worth getting as a UDFA. I mean his numbers are ridiculous, but its against sub par competition. Also not to mention he is already 23. His previous year he had 41 catches for less than 400 yards. But I guess he can be a diamond in the rough. The only thing is the roster spot. Is he worth getting as a player we can mold, ala Miles Austin. I am not sure. does anyone have any more info on this kid? Is his route running good? what about his speed? He’s 6’ 210 lbs, not a bad size. So he has some potential.

plus he has his own red flags…… sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

damian williams or brandon lafell
dexter mccluster wuld be a great addition too

WHERE IS DEZMON BRISCOE!!!!! you cant forget about this man!

what happened to your old one?

And we all know who I want the most lol

… and right now seems a big ig, I would venture Arrelious Benn is the best “IF” prospect for the team.

For the most part, I believe the "Best of the Rest category is where the Dolphins will be come April…

Excellent post… and rec’d!

special ‘Phinsider’ scouts, aka Nicky :-)

I’m glad you like Dez. Though you say he’s more like Colston, I see a lot of Crabtree as well. In fact, they were the top 2 wideouts until MC left last year so it makes sense to compare/contrast.

He does have a bit of the attitude/diva persona going on which is one way he’s very different than Fitz. Speaking of which, comparing himself to Fitz…..when he hasn’t even been drafted yet? Heh, a little diva-ish to me.

And yet for all this talk, we could conceivably trade out of this slot with another team, like the Ravens, who might be targeting a WR. Or as Alpha said, the Fins may be looking elsewhere. I also think Benn might be the x-factor for the fins in the draft.

I personally think we wont draft any wideouts in the 1st 4 rounds, but im hoping we can get a good athlete in the late rounds

impressive…obviously i rec’d this

my top choice is Dez Bryant, because of his size and playmaking ability…if not him, then Briscoe, he looks like he can be something in this league

Andre Roberts- the Cidadel, The kid was hands down the best route runner i saw on either squad at the Sr. Bowl and can be had in the 4th or 5th rd. because he went to a small school. All i want is a WR that can get separation and run after the catch,and this kid can do it,cuz he knows how to sell his route and set up the CB properly to gain seperation.

I agree with Golden Tate. He has great skills, but I don’t see him being a #1 star. I think he is getting more press because of where he went to school than anything else.

I like Alexander and Ford as sleepers. Both could be really good at the NFL level.

And, here’s some goo for you….

First and foremost, I live in Illinois and had the privilege of watching Benn play every Saturday, so believe me when I say this whole “drops passes” tag is way off base. In fact, I’d go so far as to say I’ve seen Dez Bryant drop more passes than Arrelious. Juice Williams was a pretty awful quarterback, but I thought Benn’s hands looked very solid in the games I watched.

In my opinion, Benn is the best fit for our offense. His combination of size and speed would give Chad Henne the license to blow holes in opposing secondaries.

I say go for Benn, if not draft a LB.

If Damryius Thomas is available in the 3rd (unless there is a hands down LB we can get) then get him.

I haven’t heard anyone talking about Carlton Mitchell. He’s a junior WR from USF that looks like an interesting prospect. He’s 6’4" with 4.4 speed. Watch for him at the combine. He may take time to develop, but so would Brizcoe, Thomas, or Alexander. Plus, he’ll probably be available between in the 4th or 5th round.

I believe his receiving yards were below 1000 for the year. To me thats important, because the competiotion that he faced wont be anything like the NFL DBs. Not to mention he plays in the Big east.
