WR's – Current depth chart and needs

DeVante Parker – 6’3 216

Allen Hurns – 6’3 195

Albert Wilson – 5’9 195

Preston Williams – 6’5 218

Isaiah Ford – 6’2 194

Jakeem Grant 5’7 171

Ricardo Lewis – 6’2 215

Mack Hollins – 6’4 221

Gary Jennings Jr. – 6’1 216

Andy Jones – 6’1 217

Terry Wright – 5’10 177

Trevor Davis 6’1 188

A quick glance at the depth chart shows you we have a lot of big receivers, a LOT. We have a couple of diminutive receivers too, like Grant and Wilson but otherwise we have large quantities of bigger receivers, over 6 feet. As to where some of these guys are the depth chart are isn’t important, it’s basically just a list of who’s on the roster as all of this is subject to change. I do believe that until Preston Williams shows he’s fully healthy, our main outside receivers will be Parker and Hurns, and if Wilson is able to convince coaches he’s healthy enough to produce like he did the first half of the 2018 season before the hip injury, he should be our slot receiver. After that, it’s a Battle Royale and only a few more will survive.

I’d have to say that our receiving corps is a strength of this team and one of the few units that will likely remain most intact and least changed as least as far as the first 4 or 5 of the depth chart. The order may change, but I think those 5 guys are probably going to be the 5 guys on the chart come the start of the season. DeVante Parker had an impressive season and his stats don’t even tell the whole story. While his stats are impressive in their own right, the way he got there is even more impressive. It’s like a switch went off and and it was like every ball thrown in his direction was his. He made some of the most aggressive, contested catches routinely week in and week out from game #8 non. The chemistry that QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and Parker developed was really something. Fitzpatrick had so much confidence in Parker that he was just throwing passes in Parker’s direction no matter how tight he was covered because he felt Parker had the best chance to come up with the ball and he was usually rewarded for that.

Parker wasn’t the only one who impressed. Preston Williams and Isaiah Ford both made great strides. Williams was a regular contributor week in week out until he was injured week 8. Williams used his size and frame to make catches but sometimes struggled with the easy ones, but you can see there’s talent there. Isaiah Ford saw limited work early on but really started impressing from week #13 on. It’s nice to have a such a young WR corps, with talented vets like Parker, Hurns and Wilson to keep these guys in line. Like I said earlier, I think the WR’s are our best and most solid unit, and although this is a very strong WR draft class, I don’t expect us to be very active in the draft for WR’s. If anything, finding a strong KR/PR who could either be a RB or WR will be a likely target.

GO DOLPHINS!!

#staythecourse!

Best wishes to everyone during this difficult and scary period in our lives. I hope the best for all of you both in health and wealth. I hope those of you that still remain employed continue to do so and hope that those who have lost their jobs (even temporarily) hang on strong until they are able to once again join the workforce. I hope you are all doing what you can to stay safe and help your neighbors and friends.

    Not a bad option!
    I’d rather see if swift would last till 26, and take other talent! But it worked out!

  3. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    With 34.6 mil in cap space. 16 mil for drated players we should have 18.6 m in cap space. They could add 10m dumping wilsons contract

    Clowney was offered 17m a year this year to come play with miami. Clowney refused it and miami went on to shaq lawson. Why would he refuse that?

  5. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Mike E — great write. Not sure it was easy cause a nice unit or tough cause hard to talk about what we do in the draft. And at least hoping we are set-up with Parker and Williams on the outside for least 2 years, maybe more. Call me a snob, but slots are easier to find, and we have a bunch of options on the roster anyhow.

  7. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Nice write Mike E. I like our WRs. Although I do think Wilson is likely to be a cap casualty.

  8. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Thanks guys, but Stanger, don’t discount Allen Hurns. He’s under contract for the next 2 seasons and if he’s healthy, he’s a very productive WR. He and Allen Robinson were one of the best tandems in the NFL. Now that Parker is a terror, he will really benefit from the extra attention both Parker and Gesicki will likely garner

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      I’m cool with Hurns , especially cause he comes on the cheap. But then so does Preston Williams. And both have been good. One area where we have good team problems.

  9. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Good write, Mike.

    Wilson started to play well down the stretch last year once he was ready to go. I think if he was going to be cut it would have happened by now.

    • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

      I wouldn’t think they would have to cut him, just restructure if they feel he’s worth it.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        You can’t blame him for being injured. I think we forget how productive he’s been when healthy.

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        Tim — but not only is Wilson coming off an injury….. he’s going into a contract year. Think they should either extend or cut. He goes balls out next year and is either gone or asking for massive money.

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        Restructure just defers, why would we do that?

        I’m with Stanger on this.

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      I think his contract is diminishing returns at this point. Both Grant and Ford can do the same things he can but at less cost

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        Wilson missed half of 2018 and half of 2019 with that hip injury. But he finished last year playing well. I don’t think Grant and Ford can do what he does when he’s good to go.

      • Ken's avatar Ken says:

        I think Ford can be better. I didn’t think Wilson played particularly well last year. He dropped a lot of balls

  10. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    Grant has been injured as often as Wilson!
    I keep both this year and then see what happens!

  11. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Ken, Ford did a nice job at the end of last year but he’s not as explosive as Wilson. Let’s see what Wilson does this year at 100%.

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      Disagree about Ford not being explosive. He can fly and is much better at getting deep than is Wilson

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        I have to side with Tim. Wilson WAS the offense for the first half of ’18. He turned screen passes and short passes into HR’s. He was crazy explosive. It’s easy to forget because it was a while ago, but he was awesome. Ford is not that type of player, but he’s a good receiver. Wilson is like a RB playing receiver, he made so many big plays in ’18.

      • Ken's avatar Ken says:

        Wilson also did that in the dink and dunk offense Gase ran. Our offense now challenges defenses with more vertical routes now which is more to Fords strength and less to Wilson

  12. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Wilson is like a Percy Harvin and there’s another receiver that his name slips my mind. It’s all about Wilson being healthy like he was. If he’s not, then he won’t be here.

  13. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Ken, I think Wilson struggled early on because he probably wasn’t in football shape and he was just returning from that injury. He did start to play better as the season went on

  14. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Ken, I totally understand that aspect, but you can’t blame Wilson for carrying the whole offense, just blame Gase. In any case, he can still be valuable because while the offense can threaten downfield and keep the defense honest, you can use Wilson and maybe a new back like Swift to threaten underneath as well.

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      I just think for the contract he has it is unlikely he will remain on the roster. Not a terrible problem to have if a talent like Wilson becomes expendable

  19. D's avatar D says:

    You guys missed what i was saying on the previous blog about knowing you would definitely trade up from 18 to 13, given the pick exchange they listed. I dont see how you do that until the day of the draft an there is a person who might not make it to 18 you gotta have. I can only think of one player who might be there at 13, that i didnt think would be there at 18, that i would make that trade for and thats Kinlaw. Did they list the player we supposedly were going to be after? I just dont think you can know whether you take the trade or not without that as part of the scenario

  20. D's avatar D says:

    There are no positions this year that scream give up something to get me, except maybe QB. With QB its always, go get your guy type of thing, but im not trading up for any player from any position this year. Too much more you can do staying put and not giving up picks. Miss on the QB take Brown, dont trade up for switch, take him at whatever pick you feel he is worth and if he goes sooner take Taylor, or Dobbins, or whom,ever a little lower, Take an OT at 18, if a top one is still on the board, or grab CB2, there are too many options to try to rigidly plan out your picks or make moves so you make sure ya get people, again outside of QB, which is always the case with QB.

  21. D's avatar D says:

    Those plan B scenarios almost always exist, thats why im suggesting the thing i just said above is how i feel this year. Derrick Brown is the closest thing to an “doesnt have a plan B” as i can come up with because none of those guys really match what he brings.Im not sure i dont feel he is overall the best selection in the draft.

    • D's avatar D says:

      Kinlaw is the closest plan B for Brown and he is going to be a top 15 selection lol, so even plan B in Browns scenario is another high first.

  22. D's avatar D says:

    I actually like Chinn a good bit, if we snag him later int he draft i think he will fit us pretty well.

  23. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Ken, I’m not sure what Ford you were watching because I don’t remember him being explosive but more crafty with medium range routes. He’s a nice depth WR, but I didn’t see anything special from him.

    • D's avatar D says:

      He’s like Justin Hardy, he runs good routes, and he can get separation doing that but he doesnt strike me as explosive. For what its worth, i think Hardy actually does it better too. What im saying is Ford really isnt anything special, at least as much as i have seen from him, which is limited.

    I just think for the contract he has it is unlikely he will remain on the roster. Not a terrible problem to have if a talent like Wilson becomes expendable

    ——————————————–

    Wilson cant stay on the field, which means it doesnt really matter how talented he is. I think thats everyone’s fear with Tua as well is thats the scenario we would find ourselves in, BUT, Wilson has shown us thats the case and Tua its only guesses.

    Wilson’s contract is WAY too high for what he gives us, even counting the reasonable estimation of his potential with us. He could be replaced easily int he draft with a guy who will make less than a mil a year. Save the 9.5mil cutting him, put it towards the draft class and possibly another late pickup when the 2nd round of FA starts.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Wilson was out because of one injury where he got tackled in an awkward way. It’s not like he has issues like Parker with nagging injuries, and Parker rebounded in a big way last year. Football is a violent game and sometimes guys get hurt.

      • D's avatar D says:

        I thought his was ACL and he had a few of them. My bad if im wrong. Still do not feel he justifies his contract.

  28. D's avatar D says:

    Looks like Wilson’s injury history is not consistent to one spot, though he did have two ac joint sprains back to back at one point. I think thats what i was thinking about.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      You can do a list of injuries for lots of players. Wilson had one major injury with us and the play at 2:20 against the Lions is when it happened.

  29. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I think Albert Wilson is a very similar player to Golden Tate, both in size, speed, and receiving style.

        I have not looked at much of Herbert so I have no real opinions on him .. as some above mentioned I am leery of Tua getting broken , and I did not see him do much more than throw to Wide Open receivers….

        Burrow I will say I actually watched a lot this year .. and I would also be VERY happy to have him in Fins Uni.. and with the amount of upgrades signed in FA, if we want to spend three Picks to get him , I see. I issue…

        Bring me the Burrow

    • pheloniusphish's avatar pheloniusphish says:

      I’d give up 2 1st and a 2nd to move up for Burrow.

  48. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Manitoba:
    Tua is the real deal he has done a lot more than throw to wide open receivers. He is a great decision maker, has a cannon arm and great touch on deep throws. The only question with him is his health.
    Herbert is interesting because he is the best athlete of the top 3. Bigger, stronger, stronger arm and faster but needs more refinement than both Tua and Burrow.

    • manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

      Thanks Ken, I watched only a few of Tuas games , including when he went down.. he didn’t WOW me.. Burrow wowed me ..

    • son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

      Herbert don’t bite
      But I honestly believe he’ll be a late bloomer.
      You’re at Go with Burrow. Herbert is 2, 3 4 years down the road but then he’ll be elite down the road.

      • Ken's avatar Ken says:

        But that is where having Fitzpatrick makes Herbert a good choice because you don’t have to rush him in

    • pheloniusphish's avatar pheloniusphish says:

      Burrow’s WR were no more open than Tua’s. Of the three Herbert had the worst surrounding cast. I would take Burrow over Tua every day.

      • manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

        I thought Burrow dropped passé into tighter/contested areas very nicely .. don’t recall much of that with Tua , but again did not see his whole season either .. just my impression

    But if you insist on my .02, I don’t really want to move around for any of those guys

    And I’m more concerned with having the picks to build around one of them

    Especially OT

  54. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    I think if we get Burrow, Tua or Herbert we have the best QB in the division….

    I think 5 years from now Herbert will be the best player.

    Definitely agree we still need to use resources on OL.. but otherwise we looking pretty good … so could/should afford to spend max 3 picks to get Burrow without killing ourselves .. IF that’s the way the wanna go

    His 4,480 career yards rushing are the second most among any quarterback in FBS history. Denard Robinson, the career leader, and former quarterback at the University of Michigan, also tooks snaps at the running back position when an injury to the elbow of his throwing arm prevented him from playing quarterback.
    He has accounted for 100+ touchdowns, which is a Big East record for any position.

    Pat White was one hell of a college QB

    I will give this year’s 5, 26 and 39 to move up or 5, 26 and the Texan’s 1st next year.

    I must be weird or something, I thought the goal of any TEAM is to draft the best players to make your entire TEAM better. the way I look at it, only Burrow, Young, and probably Simmons will NOT be there at pick #5. so, is Tua or Herbert the guy that’s best for overall TEAM success at pick #5? I would tend to think NOT. I believe OT Wills or DL Brown would be the best pick to better this TEAM.

    Sonny – Truth is, there probably won’t be a better opportunity for us to make a trade, and I fully understand and realize that. I just want to build a team and all those picks would help us do that, but you do have to get a great QB to win it all, no doubt. Whatever happens, I’m in, you know that much.

  81. rich0322's avatar rich0322 says:

    If Burrow is out of the equation, I’m sticking to my idea. Turn our 3 1st rounders into 2 top 10 picks, and then draft Derrick Brown and Jedrick Wills. 🙏

    I think Albert Wilson is a very similar player to Golden Tate, both in size, speed, and receiving style.

    Wilson is more explosive where Tate is more consistent.
    ————————————————–
    Tate is your typical slot guy who runs precise routes, kind of attacks the routes to have the DB backpeddling when he makes his breaks. He is an amazing third down receiver too as he is really smart footballer who seems to always know exactly where the 1st down marker is.

    I see why your doing the comparison to Wilson, but i kinda lean towards Tim’s definition as to the differences between the two.Wilson is more the explosive shake a guy then gone type player where as Tate is more a technician on the field.

    “I’d give them Aikens, Harris, Rosen and Ballage just because I’m so excited they took the deal”
    ——————————————–
    I have said that before and agree. Package players to give up less picks. Aikens is gone but, if you are trading up for Burrow, there is no need to keep Rosen. Package Harris, Rosen, Wilson and Ballage to Bengals for #1 overall. All 4 are positions of need for Cincy. We could even agree to pay Wilson’s tab to improve his worth. We have the cap space.

      There is a thing called the internet… Not to mention they had Senior Bowl week and the combine to interview. The draft is a crapshoot anyway, so is an extra interview in person going to make a difference?🙄

    Rich – There was interesting banter yesterday on NFL radio about why some GM’s like to meet these players in person. They gave an example (of all people) Mike Tannenbaum, how not only did he love to talk to the players but he would speak to the driver that brought the kid to the meeting and ask him how the kid behaved, if he was respectful, chatty etc. A lot of freaking good it did him! LMAO!!

    I just heard on the news that Italy is totally shut down and that if you are caught on the streets there is a fine between 500 – 3000 Euro. IF you test positive for the virus and are caught out they can imprison you for up to 5 years. They have passed China in number of Deaths. (which I believe is BS because China lies and never tells the truth.)

  94. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    Does anyone know the current active cases in NY? Yesterday it was 25665. The day before ir was 20875. I just wonder what it is today to see if the curve is leveling out.

  95. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    It would appear Florida’s curve is flattening with only 50 new cases over the last 24 hours. 1412 to 1467.

    If the curve has reached its peak we should recover within 3weeks

    I heard a lot of college players entering the draft would rather not be drafted at all if they slide to the 6th rnd and on. They would rather have the ability to choose where they want to go and not be drafted

  98. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    I think the numbers are being way under reported due to lack of testing. I was symptomatic last week and have been home since Thursday. I was told by my primary care doctor to “stay home, there is nothing I can do for you at the moment. I don’t even have the supplies for flu test at the moment. If you get really bad go to the hospital, sorry.”

    My fever broke on Monday. Did I have it? Did I have the flu? a cold? Strep? May never know.

    I HOPE is was Covid-19 that way I have a better chance of not catching it. (they still can’t say for sure if you have recovered if you are now immune) It would suck for me if it was the flu and then next week I catch Covid.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Not sure of the veracity but I have heard if you had it you’re even more susceptible to catching it again, and it’s worse the 2nd time, like the shingles. Again, not sure how true or correct that is.

      • Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

        governor Cuomo just said a few minutes ago that if you had it and are 72 hours without symptoms then you now have immunity and can go back to work. Who do you believe?

        I mean, 2 weeks ago this was a nefarious democratic hoax…

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        I probably don’t believe anything right now because it’s so early in the process. How many people could they possibly have tested that had it and then got it again? I can’t believe there is a sample large enough to have definite answers either way. Make sense?

    The overall death rate world wide is a little over 4% of those who were confirmed. Here in the US it has been much lower rate 1.3%

    It’s good to be in a developed country when it comes to these things.

    Spain has just passed China in death toll too. It is so bad they have converted ice skating rinks to temporary morgues.

    • D's avatar D says:

      Not to detract from the subject, but Miami use to have such a high death rate they had to use Burger King trucks as temporary morgues. I mean there is just something disturbing to me that dead bodies were kept cool in a “burger meat” truck. Everytime i think about that it just gives me the creeps.
