Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, The Mock Drafts, 2016 (Continual Updates)

Well the Rams got froggy and jumped to #1 in trade with Titans. Heard the Eagles want to move up.

BB, I feel for anyone trying to do mocks with all this going on right now. Will be interesting to see how all this ultimately affect us.
 
Well, so much for Ram's statement "Case Keenum is our guy"
Jeff Fisher just reversed roles in a RG3-type draft trade.

How that man is still employed is mind-boggling. He must have pics of Goodell and Mara together with a non-consenting goat or something.

Nick
 
That's ... not a trade I would have made if I were the Rams.
 
Who is it they want in this draft that is worth that kind of trade? I haven't heard of a single player who is expected to be a future HOF type player?

My guess is they want Wentz or Goff. They need a splash to sell tickets and Case Keenum won't put people in the seats. Plus, Fisher must be feeling the heat.

Biggest concern now is will Jalen Ramsey go to Cowboys.

No worries. It's part of the process. You just roll with the changes and have fun with it.
 
BB,

Not to put any extra work on you, but could you tell me who you think are our 'Reds' and 'Blues'?

Or, if anyone else wants to pitch in...

This is a good project for late May. Remind me at that time and your request will be answered. I am in the process of moving (end of the month) and trying to add anything extra is a bear that I would cross. If you can wait until then...
 
I believe its Wentz...not that I think he is a HOF player or worth that trade. but from what im reading that is their target.

It is indeed. A non P5 and non FBS player at the most important position is a real risk, but that is who they covet.. If it blows up in Fisher's face, then he may keep the Rams job only eight more years instead of thirty.

This trade means that Jalen Ramsey likely goes to the Pokes. He is number one on their list. Ugh.
 
Free Agency, The Mock Drafts, 2016 (Continual Updates)​

Greetings from BBQ World Headquarters.

Today we bring you the latest mock. It features trades and other exciting information. Next week we will have four mocks that focus on trades and multiple trades. The week of the draft will feature a mock each day. Tomorrow we will post our second and final mock that is BGO member-centric.

The videos that we post for various prospects will contain rough language on occasion. We apologize and recommend that you turn down the volume if offended.

Feel free to offer your own ideas about the draft, free agency, team cuts, and anything else related to these subjects. Too, we’d like to see your mocks if you are so inclined.

Without any further delays, let’s take a look at the latest mock for 2016.

Round One: Trade
The Redskins trade down to the early-middle portion of round two and gain third, fourth, and sixth rounders.

Round Two: Vernon Butler, DT/DE, Louisiana Tech
Simply put, he is strong and able to do the following: bull rush, hold the offensive lineman from making plays, sack the quarterback, generate a consistent pass rush, and contain running backs – often for a loss. The CUSA product’s motor is constantly running and does not stop. A high character person and his focus is always in the right place.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltL6872vGzs
Other Possible Targets:
Chris Jones, DE, Mississippi St.
Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio St.
Kendall Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
Tyler Boyd, WR, Pittsburgh
Ryan Kelly, C, Alabama
Noah Spence, OLB, Eastern Kentucky

Round Two: Trade
The Redskins trade down to the very latter stages of round two and gain fourth and seventh rounders.

Round Two: Keanu Neal, FS, Florida
The free safety class for 2016 is a bit weak, but there are a few standouts and Neal is one of the better prospects. Wait, didn’t we say the same thing about Darian Thompson? Yes. He has the size, length, and physicality that teams like from their safeties. Wait, didn’t we say the same thing about Darian Thompson? Yes. So, what is the difference? Neal has a tendency to make running backs who enter his territory a personal mission and seeks to destroy. The same for receivers and tight ends. The all SEC standout is solid in all phases of the game and could start immediately. Needs to do a better job of protecting himself from injuries.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5nzVdpia6M

Round Three: Jordan Howard, RB, Indiana
Indiana is known as a basketball mecca and the football team is something of an afterthought. The Hoosiers have seen some good fortunes on the gridiron last few years and Howard is a big reason for that buzz. Even with Tevin Coleman (now with the Atlanta Falcons), his backfield running mate last year, Howard was a running machine and still rushed for more than 1,500 yards. He is overlooked because of being in a lower tier program within the Big Ten, but has the size and strength to excel at the next level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzk5QUSjAY
Other Possible Targets:
Darian Thompson, FS, Boise St.
Maliek Collins, DE/DT, Nebraska
Sebastian Tretola, OG, Arkansas
Rashard Higgins, WR, Colorado St.
T.J. Green, FS, Clemson
Nick Martin, C, Notre Dame

Round Three: Cyrus Jones, CB, Alabama
Let’s get some bad news out of the way. In early 2015, Jones was arrested for a domestic issue. The charges were dropped a week later (Tuscaloosa police and city attorney) after it appeared to be settled (altercation was verbal and not physical). Most teams have lowered his draft stock by one round. Now, some good news. Jones is one of the fastest players in the draft. The All-SEC player has the size to intimidate receivers. Very confident. Good in the run game. Switched from WR two seasons ago and has played the position ever since, so upside is enormous. Excellent punt return skills as he will occasionally take one to the house.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iJ4UyVTE_o

Round Four: Keyarris Garrett, WR, Tulsa
This first team all AAC player is highly underrated. Garrett did not play for a P5 conference, but don’t let that fool you. He can be a stud and put up the numbers. The Golden Hurricane standout could step into a significant role early on and should be a starter by 2017. The super-sized receiver has quick feet and is able to gain separation quickly. Will need to adjust to a pro style offense. Has a laser like focus on the ball and makes many difficult catches. Has drawn comparisons to notable big wide receivers, mostly Randy Moss.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHuTgBWVj0Y
Other Possible Targets:
Sean Davis, FS, Maryland
Scooby Wright, ILB, Arizona
Kyle Murphy, OT, Stanford
Jaylon Smith, OLB, Notre Dame
Bronson Kaufusi, DE, BYU
Kyler Fackrell, OLB, Utah St.

Round Four: C.J. Prosise, RB, Notre Dame
Really? Could this happen? The Redskins GM will surprise you when it is not expected. Prosise is an ACC performer who started out as a wide receiver, but moved to running back. Yes, he is quite effective at catching the ball from the backfield and producing big gains. Has the burst to take it to the house on any given play. Excellent size. Good speed. Originally recruited as a safety. Excels on special teams. Solid runner between the tackles and would be better in a power running scheme. Can handle a workload, but needs a few games to adjust to the NFL.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBG3fbHCgk4

Round Four: Hassan Ridgeway, DT, Texas
The All Big12 performer is like the classic blue collar worker who packs his lunch and comes to work with a positive attitude. There is nothing flashy about him other than dependability and reliability. He can occupy blockers at the line and apply pressure in the running and passing games. Ridgeway will likely add about ten to fifteen pounds of bulk to his sturdy frame. For his size, the Longhorn is deceptively quick on his feet. Pretty much an unmovable object on the field.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93CbXKt7roY

Round Five: Max Tuerk, C, Southern California
Max Tuerk, a center from perennial PAC-12 power Southern California, is an equally powerful force in the running and passing offense. He does have an injury concern and will likely be limited by the time rookie camp begins. Tuerk should be good to go for training camp and perhaps the latter part of OTAs and mini camp. Pulls excellently on sweeps and screens. Mechanics are top notch. Rarely makes a mistake. Adjusts quickly and very well to moving/explosive targets with a laser like focus. Needed to add about twenty to twenty-five pounds of bulk to his lanky frame and is doing so – very close to that target. Unfortunately (and this is true for most centers), no extended videos exist – just a few plays here and there.
Other Possible Targets:
Graham Glasgow, C/G, Michigan
Blake Martinez, ILB, Stanford
DeAndre Houston-Carson, FS, William & Mary
Jayron Kearse, FS, Clemson
Jonathan Williams, RB, Arkansas
Tajae Sharpe, WR, Massachusetts

Round Five: Trade
The Redskins trade a sixth and seventh rounder and move back into the fifth round.

Round Five: Matt Ioannidis, DE, Temple
The Redskins add a third defensive lineman in the 2016 draft. Ioannidis had a special season for the Owls, but he is a bit overlooked due to playing for a perennial doormat of the AAC. Not this past year – Temple had a great season and Matt Ioannidis was a big factor in that success. He has excellent size to go with a great attitude and possesses a tenacious motor. The first team all-conference standout added about twenty pounds of bulk and muscle in recent weeks. He can slide inside for certain defensive formations. Ioannidis could quickly be a rotational player and possibly a starter within a year or two.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUY9y8vCW-w

Round Six: Maurice Canady, CB, Virginia
Do you need another punt returner who can score the occasional touchdown? He’s capable. The ACC specialist is a pretty good corner as well and is rated a bit higher by many scouting services. However, he regressed somewhat during a senior season that was hindered by poor team play. Deceptively quick. Canady has the size and strength that most teams covet, but will need a year or two on the bench. Could make his mark on special teams and then make the transition to nickel and dime back.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PgXbCT9Z54
Other Possible Targets:
Kevin Byard, FS, Middle Tennessee St.
Deiondre Hall, CB, Northern Iowa
Denver Kirkland, G, Arkansas
D.J. Reader, DT, Clemson
Nick Kwiatkoski, ILB, West Virginia
Tyvis Powell, FS, Ohio St.

Round Seven: Cody Kessler, QB, Southern California
The Redskins will certainly take a quarterback in this draft as a developmental project and the all PAC-12 signal caller obviously fits that profile. He sees the field very well and goes through his progressions quickly and efficiently. Able to improvise with ease. Leads the west coast offense with short and intermediate passes with an amazing degree of accuracy. Could stand to improve on his longer pass accuracy. Would fit extremely well in the Redskins offense.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lohYq2rRAik
Other Possible Targets:
Joe Thuney, G, N.C. St.
Nate Sudfeld, QB, Indiana
Deon Bush, FS, Miami
Justin Burris, CB, N.C. State
Cassanova McKinzy, ILB, Auburn
Elijah Shumate, SS, Notre Dame

Round Seven: Clayton Fejedelem, FS, Illinois
Are you looking for a seventh round steal? Are you looking for a seventh rounder who could start or play many minutes in a reserve role two or three years from now? Are you looking for a special teams player that is able to contribute immediately? Are you looking for a diamond in the rough? Look no further. Clayton Fejedelem is an aggressive free safety who led the Big Ten in tackles last year. He was solid in the Illini’s pro day and had a great East-West Shrine game. Fejedelem has constantly silenced his critics and continues to do so. So yes, he would be a seventh round steal.

Hail To The Redskins!

Wait 'til the Browns trade out of the second slot, which they should absolutely do, if they can find a partner. Things will really get interesting.
 
Free Agency, The Mock Drafts, 2016 (Continual Updates)​

Greetings from BBQ World Headquarters.

Today we bring you the second and final of two BGO member-centric mocks. Many of you have stated preferences for certain players and BBQ used a consensus formula to make these picks. Your suggestions, mocks, and wishes will now come true. Thanks for your participation this offseason. But hey, keep your mocks and preferences coming. BBQ thoroughly enjoys reading them.

This coming week we will have four BBQ mocks. The week of the draft will bring a mock each day, including two mocks on the first day of the draft.

Without any further delays, let’s take a look at this final BGO member-centric mock for 2016.

Round One: A’Shawn Robinson, DE/DT, Alabama
Recommended By: DieselPower44
DP44 likes the Alabama product for our first pick and it could come to fruition. It would be a great choice and fill a huge need.
Other Preferred Choices:
Andrew Billings, DE/DT, (JohnssBass)
Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama (Solitary Man)
William Jackson, CB, Houston (Burgundy Burner)
Kenny Clark, DT, UCLA (Win4us)

Round Two: Noah Spence, OLB, Eastern Kentucky
Recommended By: McD5 and redskins26
He comes from a smaller program, but is looking to strike it big in the NFL. He’s a terrific prospect, but has a couple of negatives. Scot could pull the trigger if Spence is there in the second round.
Other Preferred Choices:
Nick Martin, C, Notre Dame (DieselPower44)
Jeremy Cash, SS, Duke (Burgundy Burner)
Vernon Butler, DE/DT, Louisiana Tech (BGO Consensus)
Chris Jones, DT/DE, Mississippi St. (DieselPower44)


Round Three: James Bradberry, CB, Samford
Recommended By: Win4us and JohnssBass
Cornerback is certainly a bigger need than most Redskins fans realize. Well, BGO Redskins fans are pretty smart and taking Bradberry here could be a great selection.
Other Preferred Choices:
Jordan Howard, RB, Indiana (DieselPower44)
Darian Thompson, FS, Boise St. (McD5)
Aaron Burbridge, WR, Michigan State (Win4us)
Rashard Higgins, WR, Colorado St. (redskins26)

Round Four: C.J. Prosise
Recommended By: McD5
Good value for the money here and it is a position of need. Prosise would be a solid complement to Matt Jones and Chris Thompson.
Other Preferred Choices:
Rashard Robinson, CB, LSU (DieselPower44)
Eric Striker, OLB/ILB, Oklahoma (redskins26)
Hassan Ridgeway, DT, Texas (Burgundy Burner)
Isaac Seumalo, C, Oregon State (Win4us)
Nick Vigil, ILB, Utah St. (redskins26)

Round Five: Max Tuerk, C, Southern California
Recommended By: Burgundy Burner
Yes, we do need a center and BBQ has him in round five of the latest mock. I may or may not prefer other players in the various mocks, but remaining objective is important. However, this is one time where I agree with one portion of a BBQ mock.
Other Preferred Choices:
D.J. Foster, RB/WR, Arizona St. (Win4us)
Briean Boddy-Calhoun, CB, Minnesota (redskins26)
Graham Glasgow, C/G, Michigan (BGO Consensus)
Blake Martinez, ILB, Stanford (Burgundy Burner)

Round Six: Charone Peake, WR, Clemson
Recommended By: DieselPower44
Will Scot McCloughan take a receiver in this draft? It’s very possible and Peake provides good value in the sixth round.
Other Preferred Choices:
Wendell Smallwood, RB, West Virginia (DieselPower44)
Cassanova McKinzy, ILB, Auburn (Win4us)
Jared Norris, ILB, Utah (BGO Consensus)
Tyvis Powell, FS, Ohio St. (Burgundy Burner)
Maurice Canady, CB, Virginia (BGO Consensus)

Round Seven: Brandon Doughty, QB, Western Kentucky
Recommended By: redskins26 and Win4us
A developmental QB is expected to be a late round choice for the Redskins. The last time a Redskins team used a late round pick on a player with the same last name, it worked out pretty well.
Other Preferred Choices:
Curt Maggitt, OLB, Tennessee (Win4us)
Joe Thuney, G, N.C. St. (BGO Consensus)
LaQuan McGowan, OL/TE, Baylor (Fear The Spear)
KeiVarae Russell, CB, Notre Dame (DieselPower44)
Nate Sudfeld, QB, Indiana (Burgundy Burner)


Round Seven: Moritz Boehringer, WR, German Professional League
Recommended By: Fear The Spear
Taking a second receiver in the draft? McCloughan is unpredictable, but this could happen. Boehringer’s numbers are off the chart. Fear The Spear might be on to something with this prospect.

It is so obvious. Members of BGO are football savvy and we hope more will participate in the years to come. Thanks again for posting your mocks and desired prospects.

Hail To The Redskins!
 
While there is no Dline addressed in this mock draft it addresses other areas and is loaded with talent at the positions taken





1. Redskins: Ryan Kelly C Alabama

redskinsb_logo.gif


Rd. 1, Pick 21. I selected C Ryan Kelly 6-4, 311 Lbs. (Overall Prospect Rank 26). Kelly is the top center in the draft. Coming from a pro style offense at Alabama, Kelly is a natural fit in the Redskins power running game. Kelly is strong with 26 rep in the bench press at the NFL combine and has a nice combination of speed 5.03 in the 40 to go alone with that strength. Kelly is both and excellent run and pass blocker that will be the starting center day one.



2. Redskins: Joshua Garnett OG Stanford

redskinsb_logo.gif


Rd. 2, Pick 53. I selected G Joshua Garnett 6-4, 312 Lbs. (Overall Prospect Rank 60). First of all Garnett is the 2015 Outland trophy winner. Coming from a pro style offense at Stanford Garnett is a natural fit in the Redskins power running game. Garnett is very strong with 30 reps in the bench at the NFL combine. The Redskins could use a real stud on the left side of the O-line next to OT Williams. Garnett has good feet and is good at both run and pass blocking.



3. Redskins: Karl Joseph S West Virginia

redskinsb_logo.gif


Rd. 3, Pick 84. I selected SS Karl Joseph 5-10, 205 Lbs. (Overall Prospect Rank 68). Joseph falls to me at 84 do to an injury that cost him all but 5 game in 2015. Joseph is a dominate player that can take over a game. He is one of the best hitters coming out this year that will fill a huge need for the Redskins in their defensive secondary which currently is paper thin.



4. Redskins: Harlan Miller CB SE Louisiana

redskinsb_logo.gif


Rd. 4, Pick 120. I selected CB Harlan Miller 6-0, 182 Lbs. (Overall Prospect Rank 133) Miller is a solid press corner with good ball skills. Improved his draft stock with a solid showing at the Senior Bowl. Improved his 40 time in his pro day to 4.54. Has good height and length but needs to fill out his frame.



5. Redskins: KJ Dillon S West Virginia

redskinsb_logo.gif


Rd. 5, Pick 158. I selected FS KJ Dillon 6-0, 210 Lbs. (Overall Prospect Rank 169) Dillon had a good week at the Senior Bowl showing great versatility and speed. He ran a 4.5 in the 40 at the NFL combine. Like Joseph, Dillon is another hard hitting safety that fills a huge need for the Skins.



6. Redskins: Kareem Hunt RB Toledo

redskinsb_logo.gif


{{{ PLAYER NOT LISTED }}} (From the Saints) Rd. 6, Pick 187. I selected RB Keith Marshall 5-11, 219 Lbs. from Georgia (Overall Prospect Rank 179) Speed baby, this kid has got it with a 4.31 time in the 40 at the NFL combine. Injuries and missed opportunities have cost this kid a lot of draft spots. Marshall has a lot of untapped ability that makes him a very interesting prospect. He also has nice size and strength but must prove he can stay healthy.



7. Redskins: Cassanova McKinzy ILB Auburn

redskinsb_logo.gif


{{{ PLAYER NOT LISTED }}} (From Tampa Bay) Rd.7, Pick 232. I selected ILB Antonio Morrison 6-1, 233 from Florida (Overall Prospect Rank 285). Morrison shows above average play speed, violent hitter, team leader. Should be solid on special teams and has the potential to be a starter someday. Has a lot of upside.



8. Redskins: Jake Coker QB Alabama

redskinsb_logo.gif


Rd. 7, Pick 242. I selected QB Jake Coker 6-6, 244 Lbs. (Overall Prospect Rank 270). Coker is a proven winner on a big stage, has great size, good arm strength, ran a pro style offense at Alabama. Plays smart and know what his strengths and weaknesses are. Solid prospect with a lot of upside as a project.
