Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,
Greetings from BBQ to everyone in BGO land and guests from social media – we hope you become a member here.
The 2019 NFL draft arrives next week and the countdown continues! Free agency has entered a dormant phase and should pick up again after May 7. We now have a few ideas about what the team needs in later this month. The process of team building never ends and BBQ is about to take a look at what could happen this spring and summer.
Today we feature a mock that has trades. BBQ believes that the Redskins will seek to make such moves in the draft – perhaps several moves.
Will BBQ match or surpass the success that it had with the 2018 mocks? It will be difficult and very challenging, but it is a task that we embrace. With that kind of success, we truly believe it helps the members of BGO to focus on the players who are prospects that the Redskins are seeking. It feels good to provide everyone here with the kind of service you expect from BBQ.
Upcoming Dates:
- Days until the first Redskins workouts: Today
- Days until the NFL Draft: 10
- Days until OTAs: 35
- Days until mandatory mini-camp: 50
- Days until the first NFL preseason game: 108
- Days until the 2019 Regular Season Opener: 143
Without any further delays, let's take our latest look at the 2019 draft with this mock.
Round One: Trade
The Redskins trade down in round one and obtain a second rounder and a 2020 fifth rounder.
Round One: Clelin Ferrell, OLB, Clemson
Grabbing one of the best players from a national champion has been a strategy for the Redskins in recent years, but this time the player comes from Clemson. Clelin Ferrell is an elite talent at edge. He has elite pass rushing skills. He has an elite motor that never stops. His strength is elite. Ferrell will need to adjust from having his hand in the dirt on the line of scrimmage to a stand up 3-4 linebacker, but should make the transition smoothly.
Other Possible Picks:
Cody Ford, G/OT, Oklahoma
Brian Burns, OLB, Florida St.
Devin White, ILB, LSU
T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio St.
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Mississippi
Montez Sweat, Edge/OLB, Mississippi St. (Health Concern [Heart])
Jonah Williams, OT/OG, Alabama
Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
Round Two: N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona St.
N'Keal Harry has the size, athleticism, strength, speed, and cerebral qualities to excel at the next level. He can create separation from corners on a consistent basis. Harry is a true red zone target and often wrestles the ball away from any defender. Able to make impressive catches along the sideline, in the open field, and in plenty of traffic. Able to gain significant chunks of yardage after the catch. Above average speed and maneuverability on short routes and slants. Decent blocking skills.
Other Possible Picks:
Nasir Adderly, FS/SS, Delaware
Kelvin Harmon, WR, North Carolina St.
Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio St.
A.J. Brown, WR, Mississippi
Jaylon Ferguson, OLB, Louisiana Tech
Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
Will Grier, QB, West Virginia (Past Character Issues)
Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa St.
Taylor Rapp, FS, Washington
Round Two: Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College
Lindstrom is an all-around solid guard and could be an effective starter on the left side for a decade or more. Fundamentally sound. Solid lead blocker on counter plays and sweeps/jet sweeps. Exceptional in pass protection and the rushing offense. Solid blocker downfield on screens and short passes.
Round Three: Trade
The Redskins trade their first of two picks in the third round and obtain quarterback Josh Rosen from the Arizona Cardinals. The Redskins also send Case Keenum to the Cardinals as part of the trade and obtain the Cardinals seventh round pick.
Round Three: (Comp Pick) Trade
The Redskins trade their comp pick in the third round and they are able to obtain a fourth and fifth rounder.
Other Possible Picks:
Riley Ridley, WR, Georgia
Caleb Wilson, TE, UCLA
Jachai Polite, Edge/OLB, Florida (Character Issues, Interviews Poorly)
Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&M
Andy Isabella, WR, Massachusetts
Irv Smith, TE, Alabama
Armani Hooker, FS, Iowa
Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego St.
Deionte Thompson, FS, Alabama
Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford
Ryan Finley, QB, North Carolina St.
Brett Rypien, QB, Boise St.
Connor McGovern, OC/OG, Penn St.
Mack Wilson, ILB, Alabama (Character Issues)
Michael Deiter, OG, Wisconsin
Round Four: DaMarkus Lodge, WR, Mississippi
DaMarkus Lodge receives far less attention than his fellow receivers at Ole Miss, but he is very talented and he could be an absolute steal at this juncture. Mississippi has a limited offense playbook and the receivers suffered to a certain degree. Lodge should be in the conversation for one of the better receivers in a very stacked class, but A.J. Brown and D.K. Metcalf grab more attention from draft analysts. Solid receiver. Good speed. Great blocker. Excellent size. Easily creates separation. Legitimate red zone target. Able to gain extra yardage after a reception. Could have a better career than Metcalf and Brown.
Possible Picks:
Jalen Jelks, OLB, Oregon
Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame
Jarrett Stidham, QB, Auburn
Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama St.
Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson
Isaac Nauta, TE, Georgia
Clayton Thorson, QB, Northwestern
Round Five: Foster Moreau, TE, LSU
Foster Moreau would be a work in progress during his first year in the league, but he is 6'6â€, 260. You can't teach size and he has superb blocking skills. In the “Needs Work†category, the Cajun County Bayou Bengal will need to spend some time learning various routes and putting time into becoming a better receiver. However, his potential as a receiver is quite good, but it will likely take a year. He has flashed potential many times and had a solid week at the Senior Bowl.
Other Possible Picks:
David Sills, WR, West Virginia
Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota St.
Iman Marshall, CB, Southern California
Max Scharping, OT/OG, Northern Illinois
Christian Miller, OLB, Alabama
Stanley Morgan, WR, Nebraska
Maxx Crosby, OLB, Eastern Michigan
Khalen Saunders, DT, Western Illinois
Terry Godwin, WR, Clemson
Lester Cotton, OG, Alabama
Carl Granderson, OLB, Wyoming
Austin Bryant, OLB, Clemson
Devine Ozigbo, RB, Nebraska
Juwan Johnson, WR, Penn St.
Trace McSorley, QB, Penn St.
Round Five: Corbin Kaufusi, DE/OLB, Brigham Young
Kaufusi is a bit raw, but has a ton of potential. He stands 6'9†and weighs in at 285. He can add bulk to his frame and be a true defensive end or play edge. He's strong, powerful, deceptively quick, and would likely need a year to adjust to the NFL. Kaufusi has a 6'1†sister who can likely out-lift you with considerable ease – tallness and strength runs in the family. Matt Ioannidis was a fifth round selection. Can lightning strike twice?
Round Five (Comp Pick): Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota St.
Could the Redskins actually add two quarterbacks in the 2019 draft (including Rosen)? Absolutely. Easton Stick has been steadily rising on draft boards for several months now. He's a winner and there have been a few whispers that Stick is a better prospect than another Bison product – Carson Wentz. That's likely a reach - comparisons aside, Stick can make all the throws accurately. He is also accurate on the run. Consistently goes through his progressions quickly. NDSU utilizes a pro-style system. Very good mechanics. Solid pocket passer, but can effectively scramble when needed – perhaps a bit too much.
Round Six (Comp Pick): Saivion Smith, CB, Alabama
The Redskins head back to the Tuscaloosa supply line and add a late round cornerback. Smith is raw, but has plenty of potential. Will need to make his mark on special teams early in his career, but could be a starter in the slot within a year. Does not have blazing speed and likely will never transition beyond being in the slot. However, as a slot corner, Smith should be able to cover tight ends and running backs with varying degrees of success. Good against the rushing offense. Solid tackling skills.
Other Possible Picks:
Khalil Hodge, ILB, Buffalo
Chuma Edoga, OT, Southern Cal
Mecole Harman, WR, Georgia
Blake Cashman, ILB, Minnesota
Gardner Minshew, QB, Washington St.
Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio St.
Nate Davis, OG/OT, UNC-Charlotte
Garrett Brumfield, OG, Louisiana St.
Tre Watson, ILB, Maryland
Kingsley Keke, DE/DT, Texas A&M
Shareef Miller, OLB, Penn St.
Round Seven: Olamide Zaccheaus, WR, Virginia
How would you like a receiver who has running back skills and combines his talents to look like a Larry Centers and Chris Thompson type of player? Highly underrated. Lack of height will hurt him in the draft (5'8â€, 200), but he has the speed and power to be a much more durable player than Thompson. He has been the leading receiver for Virginia over the years.
Other Possible Picks:
Jaylen Smith, WR, Louisville
Ryan Pope, OT, San Diego St.
Ulysees Gilbert, ILB, Akron
Renell Wren, DT, Arizona St.
Sean Bunting, CB, Central Michigan
Sione Takitaki, ILB, Brigham Young
Jalen Hurd, WR, Baylor
Dakota Allen, ILB, Texas Tech
Nate Herbig, OG, Stanford
Keelan Doss, WR, California, Davis
Daylon Mack, DT, Texas A&M
Kendall Blanton, TE, Missouri
Eric Dungey, QB, Syracuse
Round Seven: Joe Dineen, ILB, Kansas
Joe Dineen is a tackling machine and is superb in both the rushing defense and pass coverage. However, he will need to make his marks on special teams early in his career. He is deceptively quick and rarely makes mistakes. If Dineen can find his niche as a special teamer and as a quality backup as a linebacker, then his career in the NFL could be a lengthy stay.
Round Seven (Comp Pick): Ului Lapuaho, OT, BYU
It's no secret that Ty Nsekhe struggled this past season in backup duty and he has moved on to the Buffalo Bills anyway. Ului Lapuaho at 6'7â€, 330 is similar in size to Nsekhe and would bring a youthful infusion to the tackles. Hailing from the state of Utah, the massive lineman has served his Mormon mission (Australia) and is likely ready to be a quality backup at the next level.
UDFA Prospects
Kevin Wilkins, DT, Rutgers
Cody Thompson, WR, Toledo
Nick Linder, OC/OG, Indiana
Chris Slayton, DT, Syracuse
Preston Williams, WR, Colorado St. (Character Issues)
Jimmy Moreland, CB, James Madison
Dru Samia, OG, Oklahoma
Sterling Sheffield, OLB, Maine
Trevon Wesco, TE/FB, West Virginia
KaVontae Turpin, WR/KR, Texas Christian
Cole Herdman, TE, Purdue
Chris Peace, OLB, Virginia
Tyler Roemer, OT, San Diego St. (Character Issues)
Jack Fox, P, Rice
Olive Sagapolu, DT, Wisconsin
In Conclusion
The Redskins comp picks are as follows: Rounds 3, 5, 6, and 7. Comp picks can be traded.
There is your latest mock today. We will have three additional mocks this week and a mock each day the next week – including two mocks on the 25th (first day of the draft).
