Rumors of Phins drafting WR early
In 2012 Miami’s receiving core was just a bunch of guys, who gave little help to then rookie QB Ryan Tannehill. Then in 2013 the Dolphins decided to make some investments in the wide receiver position, and the improvements were visible, however going into 2014, there is still room for more improvements. So even though wide receiver is not the biggest need for the Phins, going into the 2014 draft, football gambling fans should not be surprised if they decide to continue to look to improve the WR group and draft some young, cheap mid-round talent, since this is one of the deepest positions in the upcoming draft.
One possible prospect that the Phins have shown interest in is Martavius Bryant from Clemson. He is 6’3”, weighs 211 pounds, ran a 4.42 40 time and is projected to be drafted between the 2nd and 4th round. He is an interesting prospect, due to his unique combination of size and speed, and that is probably the main reason why Miami personally had him come in for a workout.
He played with this years top-rated WR Sammy Watkins, so it is hard to know what his production will be like in the pros, since he was not even the best receiver on his team. However, he had a decent 2013 season, racking up 42 catches for 828 yards and 7 touchdowns. The two biggest things that jump out about those stats are the 7 touchdowns, and the 20.7 average yards per catch. Those two things are exactly what the Dolphins receiving group was lacking last season; touchdowns and big plays.
His surprising 40 time at the combine, has definitely helped his draft stock, so it may be fair to say that if the Dolphins really want this kid, then they can’t wait until the 4th or even 3rd round to grab him. Whatever the Dolphins decide to do in the first round, one thing can not be denied, they will have to use one of their first 2 picks on an offensive lineman. So the only way I think that Bryant will become a Dolphin is if the phins draft a lineman in the first round, and select him in the second round. If the Dolphins do not decide to select him in the first two rounds, then it is going to be hard to believe that he will still be available when the Dolphins select in the bottom half of the third round.
Miami Dolphins can play! WHAT HAPPEN?

THIS IS WHY DOLPHINS MUST TAKE BEST VALUE EACH PICK OVER NEEDS
POSITION NEEDS WILL COME!
The Miami Dolphins are hoping to select several players who can help them take the next step toward a Super Bowl.
Who are some of the worst draft picks in the team’s history? Here are the 10 worst picks made by the organization since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
10. GUY BENJAMIN, QB, STANFORD (1978, SECOND ROUND, 52ND OVERALL)
9. JOHN AVERY, RB, OLE MISS (1998, FIRST ROUND, 29TH OVERALL)
Miami may have botched the first-round selection, but by not taking a cornerback such as Corey Chavous (33rd overall) or Tony Parish (35th overall), the Dolphins ended up selecting one of the best players franchise history Patrick Surtain with the 44th overall pick.
8. PAT WHITE, QB, WEST VIRGINIA (2009, SECOND ROUND, 44TH OVERALL)
7. JOHN BOSA, DE, BOSTON COLLEGE (1987, FIRST ROUND, 16TH OVERALL)
6. EDDIE BLAKE, DT, AUBURN (1992, SECOND ROUND, 42ND OVERALL
5. EDDIE MOORE, LB, TENNESSEE (2003, SECOND ROUND, 49TH OVERALL)
The Dolphins were without a first-round pick and had to settle for making their first selection in the middle of the second round. With Zach Thomas, Junior Seau and Morlon Greenwood on the roster, linebacker was not a position of need.
Among the players Miami could have selected with that pick? Wide receiver Anquan Boldin and defensive end Osi Umenyiora. Boldin could have paired nicely with Chris Chambers. Umenyiora would have learned from soon-to-be Hall of Famer Jason Taylor and eventually replace Taylor when he left the team in 2007.
4. DAVID OVERSTREET, RB, OKLAHOMA (1981, FIRST ROUND, 13TH OVERALL)
3. ERIC KUMEROW, DE, OHIO STATE (1988, FIRST ROUND, 16TH OVERALL)
2. YATIL GREEN, WR, MIAMI (FL) (1997, FIRST ROUND, 15TH OVERALL)
The Dolphins took a chance on Green, who played for the hometown Hurricanes. The receiver put up unimpressive college numbers, having caught 84 passes for 1,477 yards and 10 touchdowns in three seasons.
The Dolphins, who could have used a defensive upgrade since they had no dominant interior lineman, might have gone with defensive tackle Trevor Price who went to the Denver Broncos with the 28th overall pick. Another miss was offensive tackle Tarik Glenn, who went at No. 19.
1. TED GINN JR., WR, OHIO STATE (2007, FIRST ROUND, NINTH OVERALL)
What makes this pick sting further is that Miami could have selected linebacker Patrick Willis (11th overall), running back Marshawn Lynch (12th overall) or cornerback Darrelle Revis (14th overall). All went on to become Pro Bowlers.
