Alot of Dolfans have been crossing their fingers in anticipation or the Dolphins selecting Dez Bryant with the 12th pick in the 2010 draft.
But let me throw this out there. What about not taking Dez and look to fill other bulging needs with the first pick. The Phins could possibly trade the pick for more picks later in the draft(which I like) or just choose to go somewhere else then Bryant and instead wait till next year where there is a chance more #1 WRs coming out?
Julio Jones WR Alabama 6-4 212
A.J. Green WR Georgia 6-4 208
Michael Floyd WR Notre Dame 6-3 220
For this year maybe sign Coles and continue to develop our talent along with adding a recieving TE.

I believe this team will contend seriously in 2 years, and i think we are assuming that Dez can be impact player from day one. But if we can pick up someone that fills a bigger need do you think it would be better assuming the possible talent in next years draft at WR.

I don't agree that D. Thomas is likely to make it to #43 unless he runs a really slow forty.
So IMO Bryant is the clear choice if he's there. E. Thomas is the next choice. -
I sure hope it’s time for a play maker. It seems most of the pundits around here believe NT and OLB are very deep and not so much star-studded within the #12 range. If Bryant and Spiller are off the board, I’d be hoping for D. or E. Thomas.

Can never "wait" til next year. You never know what will happen. What makes you so sure we will have a chance to draft one of those wideouts?

need to take a our shot w/Bryant @ #12

Always foolish to play for next year, IMO. We have a team that can compete this year. One of our gaping holes is WR. If we have a chance to fill that need this year we need to take it.

Whether Bryant is there or not, he is not going to be the pick. You can quote me and sig it if you want.
Nor are we drafting C.J. Spiller(or any other RB in the 1st).
The regime knows its needs playmakers on offense, but its real obvious the defense needs help. We lost a couple of close games because of that unit. The first pick will be on defense.
The rest of the draft therefore will be anyone's guess. I think we will take one in this draft, a guy with speed to compete with Ginn somewhere in the 3rd or 4th Round.
But we can wait until 2011 to find our #1 guy. During the season I really wanted us to find that, but I understand the defense is in dire need of attention. This goes back to Wannestedt. The regime has just about completely dismantled whatever was remaining of the D from the Wanny, Saban years and Cam years with a few exceptions, they're going to finish the job this year then find our playmakers next year. The foundation will finally be laid and we can then start adding all the neat stuff. -

If he is there, I think you have to take Dez at 12, the kid is special, likely another Larry Fitzgerald according to Boomer's thread in Club yesterday.
If Dez goes before 12, then I agree Earl Thomas should be our pick. FS is just as important to fill as the #1 WR spot. I just can't see passing up Dez if he is there.High Definition likes this. -
I think it's imperative Miami add's a legit #1WR this off-season. I don't care how they get it done, there are no more excuses available for Ireland / Pacells anymore. They've missed out too many times already as far as I'm concerned....

they have said they know they need to get a wr who can give you chunk yardage but they can't create one
the options have been pretty limited -
2 things. Neither Julio Jones or AJ Green or Michael Floyd is the best WR in the 2011 draft. That would be Jonathan Baldwin of Pitt.
Secondly, you can't wait for a year. That's not the way to run a team. What if you pass on a WR in this draft because of those 4 guys in 2011 and then Baldwin has a car crash, Julio Jones is shot outside a club, Michael Floyd gives up football to further his chances of being a vet and Green tears all 3 knee ligaments in his final game? Then you're screwed. Plus, you might not be in employment in a years time. You draft for now.PhinsRock and High Definition like this. -
