XToday 0 Posted June 21, 2006 WR Derek Hagan was generally considered the 4th-best WR prospect in this year's draft, and he went to the Dolphins. Besides Chad Jackson, he is the only of the top few prospects to 'fit' the physical profile of what a starting WR should be. The guy lit it up in college... ...but yet many scouts don't think he can translate on the next level. They say he can't seperate, or that he drops too many catchable balls. But then you hear a completely contradictory opinion elsewhere. I've heard sporadic rumors that he's in the running for the #3 WR spot in Miami, and may crack the starting lineup by next year opposite Chambers (Booker doesn't impress me). I've seen him regularly drafted in the 2nd round of dynasty rookie drafts, but in others, he slips to the 3rd or beyond. What's the deal? Is he just another average rookie WR prospect, or is he worth drafting mid-2nd round? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orgazmo 2 Posted June 21, 2006 He could be this year's Chris Henry. Minus the gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjlmonster 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Stone Hands! He will be dropping Culpepper's crappy passes all night. He went late 3rd to early 4th round of our rookie draft last month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mggoilers 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Correct, he is the second coming of Roberto Duran. Maybe he just shows up when the lights go on. He dropped a lot of balls during the combine/Senior Bowl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOD01 192 Posted June 21, 2006 He is a pass dropping BUM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RamslovaMartzhata 3 Posted June 21, 2006 Being on the West Coast and seeing a lot of the Pac-10... he has always impressed me. I think past Santonio (off the field issues aside) he has the best chance of actually producing something fantasy worthy this year (disclaimer, for some reason/gut feeling I am not sold on Chad Jackson). He is supposed to have incredible work ethic and be a fairly polished route runner. He does drop some balls, but so does TO... and DJax is a great comparison that I can think of. With the Dolphins on the up and up, I would definitely stash him in a dynasty and take a vvery late round flyer on him in redrafts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the Dolphins on the up and up, I would definitely stash him in a dynasty and take a vvery late round flyer on him in redrafts. While I agree he has the capabilities, I think the big difference between TO and DJax is that both these guys are the primary WR's on their teams. DJAX, even with KR in there, was the primary target with KR being the possession guy who could go deep. Good comparison on drops and build though.... In Miami, Chambers will be the primary target this year and for years to come with his combination of size, speed and playmaking abilities. I would draft Hagan as future potential as a 2nd WR, but not as a source of real FF production as a starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't saying he was going to have DJax or TO type numbers... just saying that dropped balls are paret of the game As far as fantasy value... I think that this year he could have some value as an injury replacement/bye week filler. As for the future... I also think he could end up as a vey nice compliment to Culpep, Chambers and Brown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
