The Man In The Middle: What the Phins missed in this year’s draft

Free Agency is over and now the 2015 Draft is complete. The final third of the off-season repair is underway with cast-offs, roster trims, cap casualties and undrafted gems scooped up in free agency filling in the remaining holes – only time will tell how that goes. Free agency was a winner. Suh type talent is only acquired with a terrible season and a high pick or as an overpriced free agent acquisition: with Miami, it was the latter. So where are we after the draft? With seven picks, four of them in the 5th round, not just this season, but the success of this regime will hinge on this draft.

After free agency, we needed secondary depth and starters, LB starter– notably MLB, a starter at OG, RB depth, and a WR starter: we drafted two WR’s, DT, RB, OG, and two DB’s. It was in the second round when Miami traded back with the Eagles and passed on the last viable inside backers to get a DT that this regime entered the gutsy but risky territory. You can’t fault them on Parker in the 1st round – his injury puts some risk on this top tier talent, but they marked him as their man and he landed in their lap. The back end, 4th – 5th rounds, they grabbed needs and filled holes. But it’s the 2nd round decision that rests the biggest weight (no pun intended about the size the man) in determining how this draft will be judged. Jordan Phillips is a freak at 6’5” 329. He can do a backflip in uniform! The story is well known by now- top ten talent, rarest of size, strength, and athletic ability – yet his production reads the opposite. For all his potential and talent, he can’t play linebacker.

Koa Misi spent most of the season last year hurt or ineffective. Jenkins is a stud but is coming off a serious injury. The rest of the squad is rounded out with journeymen or the unproductive in Tripp, Sheppard, Knott, and McCain. Prospects Mckinney, Kendricks, and Perryman went 11th 12th and 16th in the 2nd respectively, all talented MLB’s and all within the grasp of the Fins. But, they were passed on for Phillips.

Let me say this: our front office has done some really good things – the best FO Miami has had in a long time. They have outpaced the coaching staff as far as production so they have cred in my book. This could be their hallmark or swansong. IF Phillips is good or better yet a stud and they can find someone to man the middle, they will have gone a long way to cementing their legacy and the success of this season. The best pay per head reviews. The Fins need to either pull an ace out of the hole from their squad or pluck some savvy, hard-nosed victim of cuts to fill a crucial and large void on the Defense. Interior D-line is crucial to a defense – but even more so is the man making the calls and the true heart of a 4-3 defense: the middle linebacker. Wherever he is, whether on the squad or not, he must be found. But, for the first time in a long time, I believe the men running this ship are the men to find him. Go Fins!
