So far the Dolphins have just drafted a 1st rd WR DeVante Parker, traded for Kenny Stills and signed Greg Jennings. Do they not believe in Landry going forward?

I could think of a higher number than just 1 for how many people play the position.

They are doing everything they can to help Tannehill.

Except for keeping him from getting sacked.

I think they like him a lot, they just lost everyone else at WR. Plus I believe they picked up tannahil for 2016, just building a good group.

Different types of players, should actually help Landry's numbers.

As an LSU fan you might not be aware of this, but some teams use more than 1 and sometimes even more than 2 WR

They also got rid of Brian Hartline and Mike Wallace. They needed more WRs.

I just think they should be spending high value picks on lineman and snag a WR later.

Everyone in Miami loves Landry, one of the few draft picks that actually worked out for the dolphins recently. Too bad Tannehill is a streaky, mediocre QB.

Agreed they now have arguably the best wr corps in the league. Beast veteran and 3 young guns!

Are you for real?

They love Landry. He's just not a prototypical WR1 in the NFL and is better suited in the slot. Stills is a burner deep threat and isn't a prototypical NFL WR1 as well.

Parker is a WR1. Stills lines up opposite of him as the deep threat, and Landry in the slot. Landry will lead them in catches next year, the coaches love him and Tannehill loves him.

Greg Jennings is a WR4 and an after thought. He's there to mentor their young WRs.

Are you worried that Landry will not get you 110/1567/13 this year for your shitty fantasy team.

This.

Landry is a Wes Welker type who will destroy the under side of coverage. This is great for him to have two legitimate threats outside.

Landry's emergence is what made Brandon Gibson expendable. The Dolphins love him as the slot WR and returning kicks. NFL offenses now run 3 WR or 2WR/2TE sets with no use for fullbacks. Since you don't need to be a burner to play the slot WR, Landry will be around for a very long time.
