He's a lot shorter than Jones and faster.
I see a lot of Sammy Watkins in Kevin white.
I have no idea if he has the brain power to be an elite nfl wr but if he does, I'd love to land him.
I also LOVE DG-B. That kid is randy Moss part deux. Maybe in more ways than one. Can't wait to see what he runs at the combine.
I'm also high on Philip Dorsett and Stephon Diggs.

what is #1 back money? players better than miller don't even make all that much anymore. $$ should not be an issue unless you've got a AP or C Johnson coming off their monster seasons, and the days of breaking the bank even for these guys is over. watch and see how much demarco murray gets. MAYBE 7mm a year and he's the #1 guy in the league

no more olinemen. we've drafted enough of them the past 10 years.
we have an LT, RT, and C. put Turner at LG and Thomas at RG from day 1 of OTAs and keep them their the entire offseason. Learn one position and own it. Have a couple of backup swing guys.
IF you can get a guard in FA great. If you want to draft one in round 4 or 5 for depth do it but not another 1st round pick on one.
our offense is great between the 20s and is built for long sustained drives. we need someone that can take it to the house. we need a difference maker.

That couldn't be less relevant.
With the exception of James last year, none of the olineman we've drafted in the last ten years were drafted by this front office.
Add to that the facts that the average NFL career is what...4 years (?) and that players get hurt and leave via free agency and who Bill Parcells or Rick Spielman drafted a decade ago means absolutely NOTHING when you are putting a team on the field for the 2015 season.
We have 3 competent offensive lineman. The most important of them is rehabbing a major knee injury and might not be ready until mid season. We have one promising rookie in Turner.
Oline is the single biggest priority in this offseason. We need two more starters and several quality backups or next season will be a repeat of the 8-8 season we've had the last two years.
If we can fix it in free agency...great. But there is little doubt that even if we sign a few olineman we are going to draft at least one.
Like Truth says, what past regimes have done in the draft over the last 8 years is irrelevant. They obviously failed miserably. It doesn't mean you give up.
(Besides, over the last 8 years (in addition to Jake Long) we also have James and Pouncey)
Unfortunately Hickey is in a position where he must find great talent so this team can win in spite of coaching.
Our first two rounds will need to yield instant starters. No time for a learning curve. That likely means no small school prospects like Turner who need time to learn a complex scheme and no projects.
It's hard to depend on Turner being the starter without having an alternative plan with an upgraded player. That means we have to add a minimum of two o-linemen, likely a third, depending on Albert's recovery.
We also need DT's equally as much.
Free agency is a long shot because we have no cap space unless Hickey is allowed to do A LOT of wheelin and dealin.
DBG is undraftable. Nobody wants to see a wife beater, a felon, as the #1 receiver and the face of the franchise. No one wants to watch that in the stadium, or work along side that in any organization.
Some team may draft him in the 5th and hide him for a year. I don't think it should or will be the Dolphins. Don't care for his production or potential and nobody should. Let him fix his life elsewhere.
