Sturm: Cowboys Big Board

[tm1119]

Donald still was regarded as a late 1st- early 2nd round prospect because he was too short until he blew up the Senior Bowl and later the Combine.

Both arcs are based off of what really should matter, how they played. Hageman is not getting the support from the scouting circles mainly because as much as people dig, there is not tangible production from him in actual games. Donald was huge in the games he played in.

As for Richardson, he played with a talented supporting cast, yet still rose in the draft process. At this time last year, he was still a viable alternative as late first round type then he rose to the point where he ended up being a solid top fifteen. That is just what happens with draft stock. Sometimes the funny season makes things swing wildly. Hageman's stock has been very very steady mainly because he has average tape and nothing else to make people take notice and start playing with his standing.

We'll agree to disagree on Hageman. I think there is plenty to like when you watch his film. Maybe you're taking my Sheldon Richardson comparison a little too literal though. I'm not implying that Hageman should be a top 15 pick or that he belongs right with Donald or anything. I think anything between 18-25 would be where he belongs. Sturm has him at 35 which I think is crazy. I think he could really surprise people if he ends up in the right situation.

I guess you are right in terms of disagreeing.

If I am putting Hageman in this draft, I put him a little higher than 35, but not by a lot. He just seems to be more of a player that a Seattle or SF can take and feel okay about. Being at 35 is only crazy if you take those clusters of rankings that serious. If I am just ordering players there is not a huge difference in 10 spots.

The Dallas fit in this scheme worries me more than anything else. I think players that are hot and cold are less successful than the effort players when it comes to what Marinelli will want.

Hageman is a 2nd round talent at best IMO.

Part of the knock on Hageman is his age compared to other prospects. Isn't he almost 24? I still like him though.
