Im a still a lil undecided about this guy since 1st hearing about him last week sometime. I heard earlier that this guy has 4.3 speed and is 6’4 but has off the field baggage….sounds like Randy Moss to me. Randy turned into a huge on the field football star. We dont know about this guy if he is any good or not. Plus the Dolphins have plenty of young project players already on the roster.

They could use the help spreading the field for what looks like could be a very good running game.

phinfan, you do realize this is Gannt speculating on Volin’s speculating with absolutely zero reports of any interest from within the team, right?

I never heard of Ben Violin in my life and all of a sudden, he’s become the voice of the dolphins.

Yeah more wasted Ireland picks. He’s making rain draft picks up in here.

We need as much talent here in Miami as we can get our hands on. Go Phins!

“And for an offense that figures to be in flux this year anyway, rolling the dice on a potential vertical threat might not be the worst gamble.”

For a team with 12 WRs, most of them young, undeveloped — waiting to show something — and the remaining 2 or 3 solid locks as 2nd and 3rd receivers, throwing away a draft pick next year on a high risk WR who will likely be no better than the middle of that pack of 12 is a really stupid gamble… maybe the worst.

I still have my hopes the Patriots put a claim in for him for the 7th round. He’s big, fast, and relatively talented.

A year stashed on the PS or on IR could do him a world of good.

Maybe he can’t do anything but run fast and look big, but that’s more than a lot of 7th rounders can do.

The Browns could do a lot worse. I’d give a 4th rounder on him.

Dolphins also drafted Rishard Matthews in the 7th round this past April.

Didnt you report that an NFC team was intrested in him?
