2014 NFL Combine - Players - The DT

In general, it takes Defensive lineman 3yrs to develop.

Whether the player is Aaron Donald or Hagemon that player would be best used in a rotation. While I believe that Donald can never be a 3-down player in the chiefs defense, I think Hagemon can be at some point in his career.

Hageman has just as much chance of being the next Wendell Bryant.

There's no reason, with the holes this team has and the number of picks they don't, to draft a developmental defensive linemen with big time attitude issues.

The guy would disappear for entire series' at a time. I've seen him play a lot the last 2 years. For all of his athletic gifts, he's just not a difference maker.

Have you ever tracked the careers of defensive tackles in the NFL?

Some of us started doing it around the time the Chiefs took Ryan Sims.

Lack of work ethic is a HUGE red flag for interior defensive linemen, who have spent most of their formative years dominating people solely on the basis of their size/athleticism ratio.

They almost always bust in the NFL.
