PROJECTION:
*Dolphins sign LaVar Arrington
Dolphins Mock Draft:
*Dolphins trade 1st of their three 7th-rd draft picks to Lions for Joey Harrington (Millen will eventually give in IMO; I think we may end up throwing in a 2007 late-rounder though)
1 - Jason Allen - DB - Tennessee - 6'1, 209 lbs - IMO one of the ELITE talents in this draft who will be an immediate All-pro type player; have his workouts proved he's over his injury? (if he's not available at pick 16 or if it's decided that he's too risky of a pick because of injury concerns, I'd like to see us draft DB Donte Whitner out of Ohio St.)
3 - Derek Hagan - WR - 6'2, 208 lbs - Arizona St. - had a somewhat dissappointing offseason up to the draft, but he's big and explosive (1.50 10-yd dash); with reserves Welker and Cambell as tiny speedsters, Hagan should be a nice compliment
4 - Jonathan Lewis - DT - Virginia Tech - 6'1, 310 lbs - one of the most underrated players in this draft class I believe; has impressive workout numbers, but even more impressive production, and was supposedly the unquestioned leader of the Hokie defense; we need some youth and depth at DT; down the road this guy will be a starter IMO
7 - Jai Lewis - TE - George Mason - 6'6, 277 lbs - didn't play college football; a member of the final four basketball team; runs a 4.7-4.75 40-yd dash; recruited out of high school for football and is very athletic; supposedly moving up the draft boards as of late
7 - Will Derting - LB - Washington St. - 6'0, 247 lbs - 2 years ago, was on pace to be one of the top linebackers in the nation, but injuries have seriously limited him; he throws his body around fearlessly and is all over the field
