Borland Shock Retirement/Trade Koa Misi

And who replaces Koa Misi? We don't need more holes.

 

According to Matthews, he did NOT ask to be traded. Can this incorrect narrative please die already?

 

SUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he fixed all the other holes on the team, what's one more gunna hurt?

 

For a while it looked like Miami was going to pick up a linebacker like David Harris. That would have necessitated a trade, IMO. That didn't end up happening so now I don't think you can afford to just trade Misi away.

After the draft if they pick up a guy they want to play immediately, then we can talk. But right now they're going the opposite direction in terms of trading away linebacker assets. They want to pick up a linebacker but the pickings are slim.

 

Misi is/was scheduled to move back to the outside this year. So we are already looking to add a MLB via the draft or FA, so why would we then trade a backer, whose replacement on the roster is likely Dion Jordan? If we have someone behind him who can be effective then so be it, but we don't. There is no rationale for this move IMO, we have too much to fill now, don't add another headache just to say you did something.

 

Not to mention Miami carried 8 LBs last year and have moved on from 4 (Ellerbe, Wheeler, Freeny, and Trusnick) already. You can say some of those guys were dead weight, and you wouldn't be wrong. But Miami needs bodies for this unit and trading Misi would make it just that much harder to do so.

 

I think most of us would love to see the young guys get a shot at playing a bunch of snaps...but people have some questions about whether or not McCain/Tripp can take the next step.

 

Lol one dude said "He used his instincts."

They'll grab Spikes off the FA list.

 

I would not mind trading Misi to get back our 3rd round pick,then pick up Spikes to play middle on 1st & 2nd down,bring Tripp in at MLB on 3rd down,draft a true #1 WR in 1st round and pick up Anthony for future MLB in round 2

 

It would be all about the compensation we get in return for the players....a day 1 pick, unrealistic, but would go a long way to replace what is given, day 2 would be expected. But day 3, no thanks. If a player plus a pick were returned, then it depends on the player first and foremost.

* what's interesting is that SF is the team we alternate with from pick standpoint per round.

 

You might see Jordan at LB, but it appears Coyle is intent on keeping him at DE. So while you want to include him in your LB scenario, it is a little difficult to do that when the coaching staff appears to have other plans for him.

I thought McCain showed flashes of being a solid prospect last year but it appears the coaching staff had concerns which prohibited him from getting much playing time as the season went along.

At this time the only two LB's on the team which has experience as starting LB's in the NFL are Misi and Jenkins. To me, Misi is not a MLB and the 49ers would be stupid to try and trade for him if they intend to play him at the MLB position.

I have never been a big Misi fan because he seems to always be injured. But right now with the lack of players at the LB position on the roster and with huge question marks concerning the younger LB's on the roster, it just doesn't make any sense to trade Misi at this time.

 

Koa Misi for a third-round pick LOLOLOL.

 

Everyone says things like this, until the team starts losing, and everyone starts saying "well we just need to upgrade X and Y".

The reality is that the odds of either Jordan or McCain becoming successful starting LBs isn't very good. Relying on them most likely will result in being disappointed.

 

I don't think early retirement is going to be much of a shock anymore, but a growing trend...

 

Miami had been thinking of taking a middle linebacker like David Harris in free agency but that didn't work out and now there aren't many guys left that are interesting. So at this point there's no reason to trade Misi. They're on the opposite end at the moment, looking to acquire an extra linebacker, by trade if they have to.

If they end up taking Eric Kendricks then that's a different story.

But until then I think we can safely shelve talks of trading Koa Misi.

 

No, it was just that we disagreed with your original idea, the two are not linked in anyway other than the one your trying to create.

 

That's what everyone was saying about Jenkins this time last year too.

This.

 

they are going to draft eric kendricks or whatever his name is, it's kinda obvious... they haven't done anything but cut linebackers this offseason. sure they did the same with WR but they made a move to "fill a spot" as well. 1st round kendricks 2nd wr or cb 4th ol 5th onward who knows.

 

Not a bad idea by any means. Just like many have said depends on the draft. If we land a player like Kendricks in round 1 then I'd try and make a draft night trade with the 49ers.

But, do NOT think we are in position to trade Misi at this stage in off season as there aren't too many ones available to replace him with.

Even despite his inconsistent play, I do feel if we had to go with him at MLB one more year the additions up front will really help him.

In regards to him playing SLB, I really hope to see McCain or Jordan get a shot.

Matthews needs to stay, he could have a valuable role this year with less people infront of him. Always thought he was a better talent than Hartline just never understood why he hasn't gotten a true chance, he performed in 2013 late in the year.

 

imo we'll draft two LBs so we need to trade misi before the start of the season. Based on his history it's safe to say he'll miss more games. Plus, he's still J.A.G.

 

I read that they met with Stephone Anthony from Clemson. He's real impressive, a complete physical freak that can play at the next level. Hope he falls to the second. If he doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised if they moved up to get him. Mike T has a reputation of doing that.
