25. Miami Dolphins
04/15/09- Hakeem Nicks. Currently, the Dolphins have Ted Ginn, Greg Camarillo, and Davone Bess at WR. A good omen for the passing game, this is not. A passionate cry for WR help, this is. Stop talking like Yoda, I will soon. Okay, okay, maybe it’s not that bad, Pennington didn’t do half bad last season with this crew. Somehow, though, I think most experts are giving Pennington and his accurate arm more credit for that than the receivers. Although they are a couple of other WRs generally considered to be better (Harvin, Heyward-Bey) who are available at this point in the draft, I give the edge to Nicks. I think Parcells is going to be conscious of the similarities between Harvin and Ginn, who might turn out to be a decent player but is pretty clearly a bust as a first round pick. I also think Parcells, who is well-known for his old school tendencies, is apt to favor Nicks, who was the better collegiate performer, over Hey-Bey, who has all the physical potential in the world but never quite turned it all into production in college. I agree that I’d rather have Nicks’ hands over Hey-Bey’s speed (and Nicks has better size, although Hey-Bey certainly isn’t small).
