Can the Dolphins Catch a Break?

As a Dolphins fan, you never know how the Fins are going to play week-to-week. Fans of teams like the Colts, Saints, Vikings, and Patriots don't have to go through the heartbreak that a Fins fans has to. It's not as bad as being a Browns or Lions fan. We do have a hope of winning each week. We're not an organization in disarray like the Redskins. We're just one of those few teams stuck in the middle.

Now one problem that the Dolphins have is the lack of a solid receiver. I've spent many a night this year--five nights to be exact--contemplating giving Bill Parcells a call.
This is how I imagine it would go:
Joe: Hey Tuna.
Tuna: Yeah Joe?
Joe: Draft a receiver.
Tuna: Why Joe?
Joe: Could anyone besides NFL analysts and Dolphins fans name more than one receiver on the team?
Tuna: Hell, I don't think I can.
Joe: Exactly. Now, I know you weren't here when we made the awful decision to pass up Brady Quinn for Ted Ginn, Jr, a glorified kick returner. I think that we should give Chad Henne a good target.
Tuna: You're right, Joe. But who should we go after?
Joe: Vincent Jackson, Brandon Marshall, Braylon Edwards, and Steve Breaston are all free agenst after this year. Or we could go with one
of the great receivers in the 2010 NFL Draft: Brandon LaFell, Arrelious Benn, Dez Bryant, and Mike Williams.
Tuna: All valid points Joe. We'll get Jeff Ireland on it!
Now, this was a dramatized version of a possible conversation. But this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Please Miami Dolphins, please sign or draft a good receiver. I can't watch Ted Ginn, Davone Bess, Brian Hartline, and Greg Camarillo act like NFL caliber receivers anymore.
