The Dolphins answered a desire for a big wide receiver by drafting Southern Cal’s Patrick Turner with their third-round selection in the 74th NFL Draft on Sunday.
Turner is a 6-foot-5 1/8, 225-pound wideout who had 138 catches for 1,752 yards and 17 touchdowns with the Trojans and comes out of a pro-style offense. He had 49 receptions for 741 yards and 10 TDs as a senior.
Although he ran a pedestrian 4.63 40-yard dash, Turner turned heads at the USC Pro Day by catching everything that was thrown his way and he improved to a 4.58 40 at that workout.
Holmes is fast enough and Hill has Enormous potential. Hill could be really great in a couple of years. Hill could become a strong #1 someday.

Turners stats in college are irrelevant. In three nfl seasons, he only has 10 catches. If he was a good nfl receiving threat, he would have forced himself Into the rotation by now.
