Title: Re: ESPN Insider Post by: Sunstroke on April 30, 2006, 02:01:45 am A couple of different spots where they talk about Miami's draft in the Insider. I think I dug them all up here...
16. Miami Dolphins The pick: Jason Allen, DB, Tennessee Scouts take: A season-ending hip injury caused Allen's draft stock to drop, but this will prove to be an excellent pick for the Dolphins if he can bounce back and stay healthy. While Miami already has signed free agent Deke Cooper, he lacks ideal cover skills and misses too many open-field tackles to be considered a quality starter. Though Allen lacks ideal instincts, those will improve with experience, and he's talented enough to immediately push Cooper for playing time. It's also worth mentioning that he's versatile enough to line up at corner in certain situations. and... Wide receiver is certainly a need for Miami, and taking Arizona State's Derek Hagan (pick No. 82) could pay good dividends. Hagan doesn't have great speed, but he has the potential to develop into a quality No. 2 possession receiver opposite Chris Chambers if he continues to work on eliminating costly drops. He runs crisp short-to-intermediate routes and is an elusive open field runner who can produce after the catch. That's good news for the Dolphins, because Marty Booker hasn't been as productive as hoped. and... Looking ahead to day 2... What do teams still need? * Miami: Outside linebacker, cornerback, offensive guard. Top prospects available by position OLB Brandon Johnson, Louisville A.J. Nicholson, Florida State Omar Gaither, Tennessee CB Alan Zemaitis, Penn State Dee Webb, Florida Demario Minter, Georgia OG Max Jean-Gilles, Georgia Fred Matua, USC Rob Sims, Ohio State |
