Re: Derek Hagan: Fins 3rd round
I like him. No rush to get him too much work with Booker and Chambers. Has some flaws but nothing Saban and Co shouldn't be able to work out. Good pick!

Re: Derek Hagan: Fins 3rd round
I don't have a link, since it's from a magazine, but I like this blurb from Sporting News' Draft magazine:
2 Minute Drill with Derek Hagan:
MY COLLEGE STATS FAIL TO SHOW:
'I can block. Any time a running back can spring it for a long one, it's usually because the receiver is blocking downfield. It's embarrassing for me if the guy covering me makes the tackle on the running back.'

Re: Derek Hagan: Fins 3rd round
His hands are better than Kiper and Co. lead on. He had a bad combine which seems to be what the "experts" are using in their analysis. During the games, he catches balls. He doesn't look too fluid to me, but that will come with coaching.
I really like the pick. I think he is going to be a matchup problem for the DB's in the AFC East

I'm not just saying this because he has been drafted by Miami--when someone asked the other day if Hagan was a possible pick for the Bills, I emphatically said "No!" in giving my opinion. The biggest problem that I have with him is that he really didn't get that much better over the course of his college career. To me, that raises a "red-flag" about his ability or willingness to learn how to get better--which is something that even the most talented college WRs have to do to be good in the NFL. I said, then, that I thought--and I still think--that he is a "boom-or-bust" prospect. IMHO he was too much of a risk for the Bills to spend a pick on, but Miami is in a different situation: your team has fewer needs and can afford to see if he can learn to be more consistent under Saban's coaching staff. Not a bad pick for Miami, but one that you have to be cautiously pleased with at this point. Of course, that's just my opinion on this player.Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

Originally posted by LifetimeBillsFanHis hands are suspect. And, he didn't just get that reputation at the Combine. He was terrible during the Senior Bowl week and, as someone else mentioned, had some big drops in the games that I saw as well. He's a guy who can make a spectacular grab one minute and then drop an easy pass on the next play or series. He also has some problems running routes.

I also don't see how people can say he doesn't have any speed to him. He had the fastest, or second fastest 10 yard split at the combine. Personally, I see him being like Channing Crowder was last year, an absolute steal in the third round. I think he may be starting by the end of the year. He is by far, my favorite pick for Miami this year.
