Dolphins rookie WR Leonte Carroo must fight for playing time

DAVIE, Fla. -- Entering the draft, most pundits felt the Miami Dolphins were set at wide receiver. The team has a trio of young, talented players at the position in Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills, who are all age 24 or younger.

However, that didn’t stop Dolphins vice president Mike Tannenbaum and general manager Chris Grier from being aggressive to trade up in the third round to select Rutgers receiver Leonte Carroo. He is a tough, physical receiver the Dolphins were very excited to get, despite not having a need for the position.
