Miami's receivers

With the Parker trade does big receiver become a position of need?

Justyn Ross in the third round would add a big bodied receiver to the team.

It just sucks that Preston Williams is so unreliable - he could be exactly what this team needs as a big #3 or 4 receiver. But as it stands, he just can't be counted on.

I could definitely see WR being in play for the Phins in round 3...there's a good chance a receiver will be the BPA there.

I wouldn't be surprised if new addition Trent Sherfield ends up having a bigger-than-expected role on offense...he's not the big receiver we need, but at 6'1" 220 he does have decent size.

I myself have ben kept awake at night lately fretting, worrying, even agonizing over the lack of size at both WR and RB. The one thing we know for sure about McDaniel is that he loves him some shrimps at those positions.

I've been racking my brain trying to think of the last successful offense I've seen with nothing but sub-200 pound starters/players at WR and RB and...aside from maybe the Pats I just can't think of any. I say maybe the Pats because even RB James White was 205. For a while there they were trotting out Amendola and Brandin Cooks also started the season they lost the SB to Philly, with sub-200 pound Dion Lewis starting half the games at RB.

Ironically the best offense this team's ever had trotted out Duper, Clayton and Nat Moore at a time when three-wide formations were almost unheard of, but even that team had designated short-yardage specialist Pete Johnson.

I just don't think any team can thrive when every single WR is under 200 let alone every RB too. We don't even know if Williams will make the team at this point, based on his past performance he honestly doesn't really deserve to.

At RB, Mostert is listed at 205 and Edmonds at 210. Ahmed and Gaskin are just under 200, and Doaks is almost 230. At WR, Bowden is just under 200, Wilson is 200 and both Sherfield and Williams are 220.  And I'm sure we'll add more players at both positions.
