Falcons take Hageman.

STRENGTHS Long and well-proportioned. Intriguing height-weight-speed ratio and natural athleticism. Flashes the ability explode off the ball, jolt blockers and disrupt the backfield. Terrific movement, flexibility and range. Loose ankles. Can work the edges. Able to redirect and chase athletically. Fierce tackler. Workout all-star with rare leaping ability for his size (35 1/2-inch vertical) -- bench-pressed 225 pounds 32 times at the combine. Disrupts passing lanes. Has a "wow" factor at his best. Has immense upside.

WEAKNESSES Wide gap between physical ability and performance on tape. Green eyes, instincts and understanding of blocking schemes. Motor idles. Too often lets his pads rise and exposes his frame. Does not play to his length. On skates vs. double teams. Hand use needs work. Unsophisticated counters and pass-rush moves. Aimless pass rusher in need of a plan. Minimal, inflated sack production. Still learning to convert speed to power. Does not dominate single blocking. Needs more glass in his diet. Could require simple assignments. Motivation and coachability should be examined more closely. Will be 24-year-old rookie. Has a glaring bust factor.
DRAFT PROJECTION Top 50

BOTTOM LINE A raw, converted tight end with a basketball background, Hageman is a big, athletic, finesse three-technique with intriguing dimensions and movement skills who fits best in an aggressive, one-gap scheme where he could fire into gaps. Will probably be restricted to nickel pass-rush duty initially until the game slows down for him, but has impact potential if he ever figures it out. Is still maturing, having endured a harrowing childhood to get to where he is today, and would be best served landing in a structured environment with veteran mentorship. Classic boom-or-bust prospect.

Another solid pick by the Atlanta Falcons:

Ra'Shede Hageman - DT - a whopping 6'6" 310 Minnesota and a solid GRADE of 6.0

Sometime about two months many mocked us to get this DT.

[woodbuck27]

there goes a top TE as the BUCS go with TE:

Austin Seferian-Jenkins - TE, Washington

Comment:

They need a tight end and I love this kid. He is inconsistent, but he has a ton of talent. This is a good, sound, pick.

[woodbuck27]
