Top 5 Defensive Tackles The Chicago Bears Should Target In The Draft

Aug 29, 2013; Minneapolis, MN, USA; Minnesota Golden Gophers defensive lineman Ra

3 — Ra’Shede Hageman, Minnesota

Hageman is simply a monster of a man at 6-6, 318.  He’s got above average speed and power and is a true bull rusher in the middle of the line.  Like Jernigan, Hageman’s biggest strength is his ability to penetrate and disrupt at the line of scrimmage — something the Bears sorely lacked in 2013.  Most mock drafts have Hageman going late in the first round or early in the second, so like Nix, he provides the Bears with some insurance should they look elsewhere with their first pick or trade down.  Hageman could easily turn into the surprise player of this year’s draft.
