Phins ‘Shortchanged’ on Compensatory Picks

M.J.

Phins compensatory picks were not as good as hoped

The NFL has awarded their annual compensatory picks and Miami received a 4th and 7th round pick for the loss of Cameron Wake and Ja’Wuan James. Something is better than nothing and beggers can’t be choosers… I guess. Still, it feels like the Phins were mugged.

There’s no crying in football and the ‘formula’ is what it is. So Chris Grier will have to make the best with the picks given. But, the expected 3rd and 5th Round picks would have given the Phins much better ammo in this draft. Maybe because the Patriots killed it in their awards and are walking away with two 3rd and two 6th round picks is why it feels like a robbery?

Injury-prone James bit Miami in the rear one last time by going down with a knee injury in Week 1 last season. The reduced time on the field was the reason for the drop from the expected 3rd round pick down to the 4th round. This was a substantial drop as the pick moved the Phins from the early 90ish overall to the 141st pick in the draft. Still, there is plenty of opportunities to win with this pick. One example of a team winning with a 4th round compensatory pick is the Dallas Cowboys who drafted Dak Prescott with their 4th round compensatory pick.

Yes, Miami has a ton of picks, but they have a long lull where most teams will draft twice before they do from the 71st-140th pick. This is a critical area where plenty of quality players can still be had. Given that more than half of their picks are at the tail end of the draft, trading up with some of them might be wise…

… Or maybe trading down with one of their Top 5 picks to acquire more picks to fill the gap might even be better?

You can bet with the pay per head bookie sites like AcePerHead.com that Chris Grier has enough ammo to do whatever they want. So I’m not diminishing the huge haul they have, but the missing 3rd rounder does take a bit of the shine off.

The tail-end of Phins’ 2019 Draft

This was a decent haul from the last day of the draft in 2019… if Gaskin, Van Ginkel, and Cox continue to develop. So, maybe Miami will be fine where they are. We’ll find out soon enough. Go Phins!!!
