The trade that brought in 26 year old WR Brandon Marshall was huge for the Dolphins giving them a legit #1 WR which is something that have not had in a long time.  Marshall played in 15 games (13 starts) for the Broncos last season and he caught 101 passes for 1,120 yards (11.1 avg) with 10 TD grabs.  He has now played in 61 games (45 starts) in his first four years in the NFL and he has caught 327 passes for 4,019 yards (12.3 avg) with 25 TD grabs.  Marshall has been to the Pro Bowl two times in his career and the Fins hope he makes it to many more with them.  Chad Henne will be looking Marshall’s way quite a bit in 2010 and beyond.

24-year old Davone Bess really stepped up in his second season with the Dolphins last year.  He played in 16 games (2 starts) for the Dolphins last season and he caught 76 passes for 758 yards (10.0 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 11 yards (5.5 ypc) last season.  Bess has now played in 32 games (8 starts) in his two years with the Fins in which he has caught 130 passes for 1,312 yards (10.1 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  He has also carried the ball 3 times for 24 yards (8.0 ypc) in his career to date.  Bess is the guy Chad Henne looks to when it’s time to move the chains.

23-year old Brian Hartline burst onto the scene last season for the Dolphins as a rookie.  He played in 16 games (2 starts) for the Dolphins last season and he caught 31 passes for 506 yards (16.3 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  Hartline also carried the ball 4 times for 29 yards (7.3 ypc) with 1 TD run last year.  Hopefully Hartline is o.k. physically and with the law as they found his car abandoned on the side of the expressway in Miami recently.

28-year old Greg Camarillo is the classic #3 or #4 WR as he has good hands and he’s quick.  Camarillo played in 16 games (all starts) for the Dolphins last season and he caught 50 passes for 552 yards (11.0 avg).  He has now played in 46 games (27 starts) in his four years in the NFL and he has caught 113 passes for 1,325 yards (11.7 avg) with 4 TD grabs. 

23-year old Patrick Turner played in 2 games (0 starts) as a rookie for the Fins last season but he didn’t catch any passes.  The Dolphins really like his upside.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE DOLPHINS WRs in 2010:  B+
