• Koa Misi, second-round Miami outside linebacker. The Dolphins dealt the 12th pick in the draft to San Diego for the 28th (defensive end Jared Odrick) and 40th (Misi) picks, and after one minicamp, it looks like both will be starting. The Dolphins allowed their two aging sackers, Joey Porter and Jason Taylor, to walk this offseason. They researched the heck out of the college football pass-rush lineup. Though they liked Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan, there wasn't unanimous support for him among the scouts and front office, so Miami traded down, recouped the second-round pick lost in the Brandon Marshall trade with Denver, and took Misi with that pick. He's vital to what Miami will do on defense.
Interesting, according to King, the Dolphins were as split on Derrick Morgan as "us" fans were, but look at the way they worked out of the situation:
-Traded back picking up the #28 and #40 and Tim Dobbins
-Took Jared Odrick and Koa Misi
One way to look at that is we lost Morgan but picked up Odrick, Misi and Dobbins, three players who all can be expected to contribute in 2010.
Desidesforum_veteranI wouldn't say we "missed out" on Derrick Morgan so much as dodged a bullet.

Dol-Fan Dupreeforum_veteranWe also lost a 6th round pick and traded down in the 4th

I used to love reasing Monday Morning Quaterback. Should have never stopped.
Pandarillaforum_veteranReally?!? Mr. King, "after one minicamp, it looks like both will be starting."
This is patchwork journalism if I've ever seen it. Just like the articles that said Miami was interested in Darren Sharper (simply because they knew we needed a FS).
I usually pay extra attention to Peter King's collumns because he does have excellent insight, but it looks like he just phoned this one in.
RevRicksubscriberIf you gotta post twice, at least include the picture!!!!!!!!!!! :wink2:
Never mind!!!!
We are real sailormen, the destroyermen of the fleet.
We can follow the tracks and ride the backs of the dolphins.
We will be where the action is in every situation.
When things are getting too rough for anyone else,
they're getting just right for us!

I beg to differ. I think the coaches and management believe that Misi and Odrick can start right from Week 1.
As usual, I think "Mr. King" is bang on with his assesment.

Yeah, I noticed that as well.

yeah, I wasn't really saying they both weren't targeted to start but the way he worded it sounds like he's predicating it all on one rookie minicamp.

Yeah I didn't read it like that the first time. But the re-reading it, it does kind of come across like it is all based on one mini-camp.
But I still think the coaching staff and FO expect both Misi and Odrick to be starters.
