What a cool name!
NFL profile.
OVERVIEW
He started his Georgia career on the scout team, playing quarterback at times to replicate of the option looks the team saw and take advantage of his high school experience in that offense. He shared the team’s Newcomer of the Year on defense in 2009, making 25 tackles and intercepting two passes in 11 games as a reserve. He also blocked a punt in the Independence Bowl against Texas A&M. He stepped into the starting line-up for every game as a sophomore, posting 82 tackles, five for loss and three interceptions. His junior season was filled with great ups and downs, including one of each happening within three days of each other during the 2011 season. In late September, his son was delivered stillborn about 10 days before the due date. He decided to play through the grief, and wound up intercepting two passes in a 27-13 win at Ole Miss. Rambo dedicated that game, and the rest of his Associated Press first-team All-American and consensus first-team All-SEC junior season (eight interceptions, eight pass break-ups), to Braylin, the son he never got to know.
Rambo’s senior season did not get off to a great start. He started off the season suspended for failing a drug test. However, in the 10 games that he did play, Rambo made an impact. He totaled 73 tackles, intercepted 3 passes, and forced 3 fumbles. Even though his suspension shortened his season, Rambo was still named to the All-SEC second-team.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Possesses the combination of overall strength (befitting a last name mimicking the fictitious role played by Sylvester Stallone) and agility to fill multiple roles on defense. Consistently reads routes and the quarterback’s eyes well, flows with plays from the deep half and breaks on the ball quickly. His strong hands can snatch 50/50 and jump ball passes away from receivers, and is willing to throw his shoulder into receivers over the middle to separate the ball. Effective cut tackler at the second level, also changes directions quickly to wrap up running backs making a quick cut. Good effort, upper body strength to ride receivers and backs with a full head of steam to the ground or sideline. Moves well with receivers downfield, can take away deep options and limit yards after the catch.
WEAKNESSES Read-and-react skills, angles to the ball and his ability to break down quickly are inconsistent, and will be eluded by quicker ballcarriers at the next level. Physical receivers can also block him effectively in the run game. Off-field troubles are a problem: suspended for the first game of his junior season, and served another suspension to begin his senior year due to failed drug tests, both from supposed inadvertent ingestion of marijuana.
NFL COMPARISON Gerald Sensabaugh
BOTTOM LINE Possesses the size, athletic skill set, and playmaking ability to become a starter at the next level. However, multiple suspensions for violating team rules might hurt his draft stock.

This is the best draft without a first that I can remember. Very happy with it, even though the risks are a bit higher than average.
Thomas can play free quite easily. He was pretty much the top target in most of the mocks, but the team figured they could get him in the 4th - and did.
This is another great draft by our FO.

Everything up to this point said Rambo was a FS. He's a CF guy and not an in-the-box type SS. Last year it seemed like Haslett interchanged guys so maybe it doesn't really matter as long as he can blitz on occasion.

Youre right again.. I will blame the myriad of sites that have him listed as a SS along with the nfl.com draft tracker. But yeah our "scheme" for these guys make it more difficult that usual to predict what the heck they are thinking about doing with them.

Gerald Sensabaugh? The guy the Boys just ditched? Now THERE'S a warm fuzzy. I can't really complain since it's a pretty good value for the 6th round but I'm still a bit underwhelmed.
Poyer, Geathers, and Jefferson could still fall to us in the 7th. Heck, they can't pass Jefferson up if he is there in the 7th, but would not cry if Poyer is the pick.

Relax. He's got a seat on the pain train. I'm sure last year's scouting report compared The Butler to Concrete Shoes McGee. Scouting reports are worthless. Let him prove it.
Rambo > Sensabaugh.
Come on Da'Rick Rogers in the 7th!
From Walter FB.
119. Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State: A Grade
I'm positive I mocked Phillip Thomas to the Redskins in the third round, so he's a slight steal in the middle of the fourth frame. Thomas is a versatile safety, which is exactly what Washington needs considering Brandon Meriweather's injury concerns.
162. Brandon Jenkins, DE/OLB, Florida State: B+ Grade
The Redskins found out the hard way how important rush linebacking depth is when Brian Orakpo went down in Week 2 last year. Brandon Jenkins is coming off an injury of his own (foot), but he'll provide a solid Plan B in the event of another player getting hurt.
191. Bacarri Rambo, S, Georgia: A Grade
The Redskins did a great job of coming away with two steals at the safety position on Day 3. Bacarri Rambo should have gone in the third or fourth round. Washington will love his instinctive play.

You know, I'd be ok with that choice. More than ok with that choice.

The 1st Round Pick
The draft just makes me thirstier for some real action. It's only April.
Get your healing factor on RG. The Redskins ain't ****ing around no more.

My little sister is in grad school for sports psychology at FSU, and knows several of the guys there. Just a random couple bits about our pickups, basically that they seem to at least be really good guys. She did laugh about how short Chris Thompson was though (she's 5'9") and described Brandon Jenkins as "a sweetheart".
No trades this year. None. Zip. Zero.
Sounds like my daughter (5'11") and she live in NOVA. Always talks about how she is taller than the occasional Redskin or some politician. And she has the biggest crush on Kirk Cousins.
There goes McCray, the CB from App. St. Had him as a possible UDFA for the Redskins.
