The Miami Dolphins need more out of their WRs

The Dolphins have a real lack of talent at WR and they will need to address that position after the year is over through free agency and the draft.  Davone Bess is the leader on the team in both receptions (40) and receiving yards (334) but he is only averaging a paltry 8.4 yards per catch.  Bess would be best served as a #4 or #5 WR on a team with a good offense but in Miami he is #1 which really says something about the quality of the WR corps of the Dolphins this year.  Greg Camarillo is also a possession type WR as he has caught 27 passes for 277 yards (10.3 avg) for the Dolphins this season.  Ted Ginn Jr. has the speed to get deep but he just shows no interest in catching forward passes as he is softer than a roll of Charmin.  He has caught 19 passes for 218 yards (11.5 avg) with 1 TD grab for the Fins so far this year.  Rookie WR Brian Hartline is averaging 16.0 yards per catch this year on 12 catches for 192 yards with 1 TD grab but his upside appears to be limited.  With no one to stretch the field out of this WR corps it makes it harder on the Dolphins running game as teams walk their safeties up toward the line of scrimmage.  The Dolphins will need to bring in more talent to boost this position in the off-season if they want to truly excel offensively.
