The Case for Ra'Shede Hageman
Posted on 4/9/14 at 10:22 am
Posted on 4/9/14 at 10:22 am
Ra'Shede is a 6'6 311 lb specimen. Probably could even bulk up a few more lbs as his body fully matures. He's a physical specimen with outstanding length. Very long arms, very strong w/ 32 reps, and plays mean. Would be a versatile defensive lineman that could probably line up at every position in our front. His presence in certain packages as a bookend could even free up Cam Jordan to play without his hands off the ground in certain positions. Almost like an extra player at the OLB spot in certain plays.
We have good quality and decent depth on the D line but D line is an area where you can not have enough numbers. He has some lofty comparisons to JJ Watt, John Henderson, Jason Hatcher etc.
Ra'shede's potential is unlimited. The Saints coaching staff under rob ryan has shown a great ability to coach up and harness the skills of the D line players. Bunkley's number next year can make him a cap casualty. Jenkins may be starting quality but not a sure thing for the future, he's a great rotational player to have at this time. Cam Jordan's contract will be coming up quickly followed by Hicks. May be hard to resign both of Hicks' growth makes him an elite player in this league.
Hageman could be in a great spot on our roster to contribute immediately yet not be relied upon as a starter. We have great guys on the D that can tutor him along.
If available, i'm not sure he's a guy we can pass up.

Dude is a monster! I'd like to see him in the mid-late rounds.

If he's available at 27, I would run to podium.

wouldnt mind, but he would be more of a luxury at this point.

Have you been sitting on a stash of topics and are now unloading them all on us? You will soon beat out Patio for must threads.
Yes, I am down for this dude. If he can be a force at NT and switch to DT in 4-3, then take him

I like him as a prospect but I haven't seen as much film as I'd like. Most of the stuff I've read says he's got a high ceiling but a long way to go.
List of weaknesses from NFL.com draft profile
List of weaknesses from NFL.com draft profile
quote:
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.

DT may be the position the Saints are worst at drafting. If Bunkley is healthy and going to be sticking around then there are greater needs.
But I also know that under Payton and Loomis they have been inclined to take the best player on the board. So, if it is him then I could defiantly see him being taken by the Saints in Rd 1.

I actually heard good things about this guy. Wouldn't mind seeing him drafted, but we have more pressing issues such as ILB and WR.
Still need a corner too.
