Before you read this post, you may want to check out Redskins Recon's Post-Mortem on Kevin Hogan
It's not pretty.
Anyway, I'm going to briefly look at Hogan's pre-draft evaluation from Pro Scouting Guide Ourlads.
Ourlads is run by former NFL scout Dan Shonka.
Apparently many of the teams have copies of the annual guide with them at the draft.
Anyway, since 2014, I've been buying the guides because they give good scouting reports for prospects, but also for players the Redskins pick up as UDFAs, FAs or trades in future years.
I found a really good review on Zach Vigil the other day that I may share on the blog at some point.
So, today we'll look at Kevin Hogan's evaluation from Ourlads*
So I can see why Jay Gruden may have wanted Hogan.
Ball protection, crossing routes and using all receivers in a WC style system. All seem to be things Jay likes in a QB.
Apparently the focus on fundamentals and footwork has been a major issue at the pro level.
I will be curious to see how Hogan develops in OTAs and Training Camp.
At this point it's really hard to tell if Hogan will be the 'Skins future back up or cut. Either way, dropping 17 spots in the 6th round for a player really does no harm for the 'Skins. It's worth a shot.

** 7.80 is the grade for the player. A player with a grade between 7.99-7.00: Good backup, upgrades "stop gap" starter/career backup. Eventual starter with developmental time. Was considered a 3rd/4th round prospect. (Was drafted in the 5th round by KC).
