Dolphins drafting a WR in First Round?

This is from Sun Sentinel.com


While I've openly argued that the Miami Dolphins SHOULD NOT select a receiver in the first-round of the NFL draft, and provided plenty of evidence which backs up my argument, IF the Dolphins decision makers go that route there is one player in this draft whose skill sets fit this team's needs.

His name is Hakeem Nicks, and he played for former Hurricanes coach Butch Davis at the University of North Carolina. He's no stranger to anyone who follows the Atlantic Coast Conference.

I've been told by a couple of scouts he's the one receiver in this draft that has Bill Parcells written all over him, and the Dolphins have not been hiding their level of interest in the first receiver to crack the 1,000 yard mark in UNC history.

Nicks, who set 14 school records in three seasons, has been extremely productive throughout his college seasons, catching 181 passes for 2,840 yards.

He knows how to get into the end zone, scoring 21 touchdowns as a Tar Heel, 12 his junior season.

He's got decent size (close to 6-foot-1, 212 pounds), which REALLY impressed me when I stood next to him at the combine. Not to mention respectable speed (4.49 in the 40), and great hands.
