"Started from the middle and stayed there" Official Miami Dolphins offseason thread

[714562]

Day 2:

All the best ILB options still on the board (Kendricks, McKinney, Perryman).

Best safety still on the board (Collins).

And if nothing else, we could trade into the back of the 2nd and get our 3rd rounder back.

Best case he's AJ Green

Ive never followed AJ like that so i wouldnt know what his game is like. I know BMarsh is big and not very fast but big and physical and can go over the middle. AJ appears to be faster and more versatile

Are you implying that drafting a version of Brandon Marshall who lacks the mental health issues of the real Brandon Marshall is bad?

Because I think most people would disagree with you. For the first time in what seems like forever, the Dolphins didn't reach or trade up.

I'm not into riddles, man. It's a simple srtatement. Dont try too hard to read into it. I'm one of the biggest BMArsh fans there was when he was here. I understand why we traded him but still liked him as a player.

But back on the topic im asking if he would be like a Brandon Marshall type.

Dolphins going 11-5, you heard it hear first

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

Need a CB opposite of Grimes in round 2

all the good CBs are gone unfortunately

I guess we will pick a MLB

FOr some reason it never occured to me that we had a dire need at CB. I thought G and LB were more pressing needs. I guess I assumed the CBs we drafted these past few years should eventually get healthy and start playing.

Are we happy with our current LB's with Jenkins and the white dude (cant recall his name)?

Wake/Mitchell/SUH/Olivier Vernon

Jelani Jenkins/ Kendricks or Perryman / Koa Misi

Our front seven would be set.

Perhaps the only person happier than Stephen Ross that the Cleveland Browns passed on DeVante Parker was Parker’s mom.

“We didn’t want him going to Cleveland,” Raneca Parker said Friday, less than 24 hours after the Dolphins took her son with the 14th pick. “They don’t have a team, really, or a quarterback. I knew I didn’t want the Cleveland Browns.

“I know the teams the teams he could go to and the teams he couldn’t go to. We were happy with the Miami Dolphins. He was very ecstatic. We’re happy, we love the weather.”

Damn. Traded down in the 2nd for two 5ths. All three good ILBs and Landon Collins got drafted.

I guess we go BPA now? shyt.

Jordan Phillips - NT

 

[intruder]

So we have 4 5th rnd picks, now?
That dude Hickey handling business, I see

 

[SoulController]

Phillips is great value, if he has a good camp he might start. maybe split some snaps with Mitchell and be a cheaper replacement for him later

guess were going with Miller and Damien Williams @ rb, and hope Knowshown has a little left. but I thought we might address ilb or dt in the 2nd

wouldn't mind flipping 2 of those 5's to move up high 4th

DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins hit a home run on the first day of the NFL draft. Everything made sense with the selection of Louisville wide receiver DeVante Parker. He is a dynamic player who filled Miami's biggest need.

But the Dolphins followed that with a risky pick on Day 2. The selection of Oklahoma defensive tackle Jordan Phillips was questionable on many fronts. It was the Dolphins' only selection Friday, but they did make a trade. They moved down five spots in the second round and shipped their sixth-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for the Eagles' second-rounder and two fifth-round picks.

DAL | NYG | PHI | WAS
WEST: ARI | SF | SEA | STL
NORTH: CHI | DET | GB | MIN
SOUTH: ATL | CAR | NO | TB
AFC
EAST: BUF | MIA | NE | NYJ
WEST: DEN | KC | OAK | SD
NORTH: BAL | CLE | CIN | PIT
SOUTH: HOU | IND | JAX | TEN
Let's start with this: Miami had 114 million reasons not to use a second-round pick on a defensive tackle. The Dolphins invested $114 million in free agency on Pro Bowl defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. That made the position no longer a need.

Phillips, at best, is a backup next season behind Suh and fellow starter Earl Mitchell. The Dolphins also had promising young reserves Anthony Johnson and A.J. Francis. Phillips will be added into a jumbled mix.

In addition, Phillips comes to the Dolphins with a reputation for underachieving in college and having an inconsistent motor.

Here are some reporting notes on Phillips, according to Scouts Inc.:

• "Completely unreliable. Can't trust him."
  
  
• "Effort is up-and-down."
  
  
• "Inconsistent effort as a pass-rusher. ... Will hang out at line of scrimmage and give half-hearted effort for a pass breakup."
  
  
• "Keeping weight in check will always be a concern."
  

Does this sound like a player the Dolphins should count on in the second round?

"You know, that came up a lot," Phillips said of the pre-draft critiques. "I think that was just the system I was in. You will see a lot more plays out of me, coming up soon."

Granted, Jordan is young and can grow out of bad habits with proper coaching. But the Dolphins are entering an important 2015 season for many in the organization and need young players they can immediately trust. On top of that, Phillips didn't fill a need.

Miami entered Friday with various holes. The Dolphins needed a middle linebacker, one or two guards and depth at safety. They exited Day 2 without addressing any of those positions.

General manager Dennis Hickey made a case Friday night that the Phillips pick added depth, and that the team simply took the best player on the board. Phillips might eventually prove Hickey correct. But Miami is a .500 team from 2014 and was in need of an immediate impact in the second round at other positions to get over the hump. In that regard, the Dolphins came up short.

Was there not any good linemen in the second round?
