I don't hate it. I'd like a WR there but if they don't like any of the ones on the board then I have no problem taking a LB who's supposed to excel at covering TEs.
I think Gates without that injury he had last season must be convincing someone we dont need a WR. I hope so! On that note though we havnt had a bad Draft. Im quietly smiling with what weve done.
we plenty to build on: WR: Clyde Gates (stretch the field), Brian Hartline (go-to), Davone Bess (slot), Legedu Naanee (vet/comp), Roberto Wallace, Julius Pruitt (excelent height & speed), Marlon Morre Te: Anthony Fasano, Michawel Egnew, Charles Clay (three that can be used in the 3-TE set) Jerod Mastrud Receiving RB's: Bush, Thomas & Martin Remember we're going to be using a West Coast Offense
Finally a WR: BJ Cunningham NFL.com thinks that he rates higher than 6th round. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/b.j.-cunningham?id=2532824
Russ Lande tweeted about Cunningham: "#DOLPHINS get VG value with BJ Cunningham in 6th rd. If he can run well enough in NFL he could be very productive WR. #NFLDRAFT" Looking at Russ's grades, today has been about high value: Lamar Miller: 7.5 (2nd round grade) Josh Kaddu: 5.8 (4th round grade; Russ mocked him going to Miami in 4th) B.J. Cunningham: 6.5 (3rd round grade)
And there it is, "solid 3rd round value" in the 6th round haha we get a tackle in the 2nd who was rated a late first rounder, a TE in the 3rd who a year ago would have been a first or early second, a RB in the 4th who i think we only took because we had no idea why he was still on the board and thought we got away with something there, now a 3rd round value receiver in the 6th..... this teaches you one thing... dont believe everything you hear or read (the value of all of these guys) b/c we all know from experience that this team isnt some draft gurus
He plays BIG.. i kinda like it [video=youtube;eBI3vVWIJ9w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBI3vVWIJ9w[/video]
