The latest player rankings have several wide receivers moving up draft boards and for teams like Miami and San Francisco, taking a quality wide out could have a big impact on next season.
Rumors have the Dolphins looking to release Mike Wallace and if that’s the case, finding quarterback Ryan Tannehill another weapon is imperative. The latest mock from Walterfootball has the AFC East franchise possibly taking West Virginia youngster Kevin White with their first round selection.
Wallace has had two years in South Beach and made no real impact. White has the speed and showed he can find the end zone with the Mountaineers, both are needed if Miami wants to contend for a playoff spot in 2015.
The 49ers are also hurting with Michael Crabtree and Stevie Johnson both having a bad year this past football season. Anquan Boldin played well, but his age is a concern and recent picks in the draft haven’t panned out.
San Francisco is mocked to select Louisville wide receiver DeVante Parker. The youngster has good size and runs great routes, but his biggest asset is the ability to break man coverage, something needed to succeed in the NFL.
The NY Jets are also rumored on the market for a receiver and with the sixth overall pick in April, many football experts expect the front office to select Alabama’s Amari Cooper, ranked the top play maker in the draft and the type of player that could help Geno Smith and the teams offense improve next season.
Finding a play maker is often difficult, but with the league becoming more reliant on the pass, finding these players are a must to win games. These three teams were disappointments this past season, but with the right moves, they could rebound and battle for a spot in next years playoffs.
