I been wondering in the last couple of years of how the draft is always being rated. One of the main factors other than the combine is the senior bowl. In todays standards, if a player does not do well in the senior bowl they are slated to be horrible players.
Think of the many quarterbacks in the last couple of years who did very well in the senior bowl. Now think of how many of those quarterbacks were successful. If you think about it, quarterbacks never do bad in the senior bowl thus giving them a better chance fo getting picked earlier specially if the hype is huge among that player. Derek hagan is a big example. Poor play in the senior bowl but consistency through all his career and that is better than one just good game in my opinion. It also happened to allen in a way because he was one of the top db's in the draft last year and this year, he was smart enough not to go into the nfl and stay in college for one more year.
Tony Pauline, a scout and a draft expert had Jason Allen as the best defensive back in the draft and some even had him at 7th because of a hip injury. He also had Derek Hagan rated at 2nd round but if he learns how to come off the line of scrrmmage faster then he will become a good receiver at the number 2 slot. Not a bad pick in the third round for miami but if he is coached the right way then he would be a very productive 3rd down receiver. If there is something I learned in the last 7 years is that the senior bowl shouldn't dictate a draft.
