Scouts have pointed out that Dozier has ideal size and a strong base, but they also point out that he does not have clean footwork. CBSSports.com's draft profile projected that Dozier would be selected in either the third or fourth round.This seems to be another popular pick among the fanbase and looks like pretty good value at the end of the fourth round. Dozier's main attribute is his strength and it sounds like he has the kind of nasty streak fans always enjoy.
