Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, The Mock Drafts, 2017 (Continual Updates)

[Chris]

You are too hard on yourself. For all the time and effort you deserve an A+

Agreed wholeheartedly. With the NFL draft, hitting anything beyond the first round is blind luck. Thanks for all the work you put into it!

 

[Burgundy Burner]

I might be a bit tough on the team, but there were three or four true left guards that had the size, talent, and ability. Time will tell and draft grades always change. Let's hope they change for the better.

And I'm always tough on myself - that will never change.

Next stop, June 1st ?
Do we get ourselves a NT in Haloli Ngata, as a cap casualty ?
He's a bit long in the tooth, but rarely missed a game in his career, and could be a decent stop-gap for a season.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Pipkin, our new UDFA, goes 6-3, 325. So that's another name in the mix.

 

[McD5]

Harvey-Clemons isn't from this planet.

 

[Fear The Spear]

Nice motor, and pretty athletic for a really big man

 

[McD5]

And this guy..........wowowowowowow!

Man-crush, initiate.

 

[Fear The Spear]

I'm wondering if McD5 actually broke a TV, out of positive excitement over the draft, kind of like the UNC kids burn sofas in the streets, after they win the NCAA championship.

Hopefully we can bank on Chase.

No one could’ve predicted what happened in the first round

Almost no one

You never know. Best thing that could happen to the Skins is a team or two in the top 15 taking a QB unexpectedly. That might create some panic, and a small run on QBs as teams counting on getting their guy have to go to Plan B. Not likely - but it has happened before.

I did not anticipate some of the WRs who would be taken early, but you can almost always count on teams buying a lottery ticket on a QB and others reacting/freaking out in response.

Hopefully not the Skins next year.

Amen on that.

Yeah, grandson of Bob. His daddy was a very undersized LB for the University of Miami but one extremely tough SOB.

 

[Boone]

Well I hope he is not worrying about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be all right.

Washington Redskins‏@Redskins
#Redskins waive LB Steven Daniels, LB Rufus Johnson, OL Quinton Schooley and WR Reggie Diggs.

[Fear The Spear]

Yeah, grandson of Bob

So, I'm guessing this guy is the grandson of Dan Snyder...
Negotiating tool for Cousins ?

Alex Snyder, QB, Tufts (Rookie Camp Tryout)

Let the circus and the QB controversy begin...
They're telling us, he's a clone of Tom Brady !

A> Don't be too tough on yourself. :friendly_wink:
B> Would Aisata have been a reach in the 4th? Or maybe swap around a couple of choices to get him in the 5th?

Pipkin, our new UDFA, goes 6-3, 325. So that's another name in the mix.

Wow. Unlike many 330 pound guys, he isn't hauling around 300 of those around his belt line. Like to see if he can get on the down low some more, plays kinda upright. Maybe getting low cost Taylor his knees but I like a sub-human at the nose. It'd be nice if Phil makes an impact but I think his knees are retired.

And this guy..........wowowowowowow!

Man-crush, initiate.

In a way I hate to say this (not being a 'hawk fan) but he does remind me of Sherman in coverage. Not the best of hands in catching, tends to let the ball come to the body, but not horrible. Uses his length very well. Might turn out to be one of their best picks.

 

[Fear The Spear]

Draft profile shows that the NFL player that Harvey-Clemons most resembles is Kam Chancellor.
Kind of ironic, considering that many projecting he'll end up at LB.
So maybe they should say he most resembles Ken Harvey....or Charlie Clemons.

Was this some kind of injury settlement ?
Or was he really that bad ?
Never played a down in the regular season or even preseason, and hardly played a down in Training Camp.
