Heck of a talent but seems like a boom/bust type.

Of all the positions we could take a boom or bust type at. DT is a position I would not worry about for Fox and JDR.

Could the Broncos pick DL with their 1st pick 5 out of the last 6 years, while completely ignoring MLB/CB until the 3rd round?

Stay tuned.


2009 - Robert Ayers
2011 - Von Miller
2012 - Derek Wolfe
2013 - Sylvester Williams

Yeah defensive line they seem pretty good. In fact defense in general. The nice thing about a good patient coaching staff is they are going to do the most they can with someone once they get here.

Watching him play, you can see the appeal. The guy is gigantic and mobile. He's still rough around the edges but when he gets better coaching and figures it out, offenses will not be able to double team him with Ware & Miller on the field. It potentially could cause a lot of havok.

Brandt came out and said he likes him a lot better than Tuitt at DT but he's a big combine guy.

I don't like ignoring MLB but we all did complain for years that we needed to focus on the DL. We have gotten our wish so far.

All you have to do is remind Hageman he was adopted every day he practices and he will give it his all.

I can imagine a line of Ware,Sly,Jernigan/Hageman and Wolfe.
And that is only if Knighton walks. The DL depth would be epic.

Ive heard him compared to Kris Jenkins skill set so Im very, very intrigued. But, DT almost seems like the last position the Bronco have a need at.

[Tombstone RJ]

I'm all for building up the defensive line because of the overall ripple effect on the entire defense, including the LBers. If the Broncos pass on someone like Shazier and take Hageman, I will have a problem with it. But, Moseley and Shazier won't be there at 31 and I doubt the Broncos will trade up to take either.

With Vickerson, Unrein, Knighton FA's after the year, i would disagree.

It's not as big as CB/MLB but it's a bigger need than some would admit.

Just for the fact he was a foster kid I am rooting for him.

Go Hageman!

Long term there may be a need, but its still possible the Broncos resign some/all those guys or land a FA next offseason. Theres a decent contingency plan available.

1st round picks are expected to start in todays NFL, with the usual exception of Qbs. The Broncos already have 2 guys ready to start at DT on the roster, or 3 if you like Vick. Now, Im not saying he would be a bad pick because hes a DT, just that in terms of value, theres other position, especially right now, that would benefit more, namely LB/CB/OL.

Hageman?

2nd year in a row they're going to draft an old rookie?

Great prospect though. Love that size and attitude.

[Shananahan]

I've been as interested as anyone in Hageman for a long time simply due to what he's capable of physically. He's got All-Pro talent and size, for sure.

I'd rather see them add some playmakers in the secondary, but I will probably get excited over whoever they draft regardless. If you're taking a risk, you might as well take a guy with limitless potential.
