To those who say that we should have faith in Saban's picks, why bother posting positives?
Shouldn't every post just be "In Saban we trust. Another great pick"?
Well, that's not a great comparison since pretty much most parts do say that.
My main problem with our first round pick is that two other teams thought their was a better pick at safety out there. Or, if you prefer to think of Allen as a CB, another team felt there was a better CB out there.
From here we go to another common dismissal of people who question the draft picks: "You aren't professionals, therefore your views aren't worth anything." Yet we have an example of professionals in Oakland, Buffalo and Denver who feel that Allen is not the best pick at DB in the draft.
The injury history may not be a problem, and sure it's nice to have coachable players. But where is it written that the most physically talented and explosive player can't be injury free, coachable, and the always mentioned "Saban-type" of players.
Moving on to the second pick in our draft, what's the deal with Stone Hands McSlow? Okay, that was obviously a joke, but I thought Daunte was going to improve our vertical passing game with his armstrong. Hagan might not have dropsies as bad as he did in the highest pressure game of his career thus far, but there's no cure for a lack of speed. As many on this board have said, you can't coach speed.
Finally we come to our 4th round pick, Toledo. There are only 5 spots on the offensive line, right? Didn't we sign a bevy of free agents at that position, or are they all going to be training camp fodder?
Don't get me wrong, all of these picks might pan out, but they all have some degree of questions to them and are decidedly unexciting in addition to the other issues. People who question picks are as much Dolphin fans as those who bank on a coach's previous success and wait to question them until there's an Eddie Moore-like pick.
