High marks – Miami did really well in free agency, so it's hard to argue with a draft that was mostly aimed at adding good young depth. That said, Tennessee's Jason Allen is a risky pick because of long-term concerns about his hip. Still, he gives the Dolphins a Cover 2 corner with the flexibility of being a great safety. That's good value for the 16th overall pick. Trading the second-round choice for Daunte Culpepper is the huge positive from this draft class. Tackle Joe Toledo adds some depth and competition on the line, and defensive tackle Rodrique Wright is a great value selection in the seventh round. Low marks – Derek Hagan was a so-so choice in the third round considering the Dolphins could have had massive guard Max Jean-Gilles. Hagan's hands are below average and he's going to frustrate Nick Saban with his dropped passes. Solidifying the offensive line should have been a higher priority than adding a wide receiver with a major flaw. B
 
I don't care what happened at the Sr. Bowl/Combine...the fact that Hagan caught 94% of the passes thrown his way proves to me that he has good hands.

Yahoo should hire analysts that watch more than just the Senior Bowl

I couldn't agree more. I've always thought that they put WAY too much weight on that senior bowl week/combine. They need to see what the guys do on the field. Here's an example:

On my high school football team, we have the state's fastest 100 meter's and he is also one of the top high jumper's in the state. But, he had no idea how to find holes in coverage, get the ball at its highest point, come back to the ball, or just catch the ball in general.

Look at players on the field stats throughout a whole season, not what they run in a timed event or how they do in one game.
 
yea DCFIN youre right...i totally forgot, but they did say that chambers was not among the elite of the draft cause of his poor hands...good call...

ugh.. chambers catching isnt very consistent... his hands are amazing though with some of his sick grabs.
 
He automatically has terrible hands just because of a bad Senior Bowl performance? The kid caught over 1,200 yards in each of his past two seasons and has caught 27 TD's over his career. I'll take him in the 3rd round.
 
im tired of people saying he has bad hands. the senior bowl is 1 game. i saw this kid make grabs in college that someone with bad hands could never make. he was actually the second highest wr in college before the season last year. hagan will prove ppl wrong and they will be pooping there pants when the next cris carter/rod smith type guy comes out.
 
I liked the pick....we needed one more receiver
