Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions, 2019​

Greetings from BBQ to everyone here at BGO. We hope you had a good weekend. Hello to everyone on social media. We'd love to have you as a member here and become part of the family.

OTAs, mini-camp, rookie camp, and the draft have passed into the history books. Training camp will be here in just over two weeks. We'll continue to cover it all and give everyone at BGO the best coverage possible.

BBQ continues our off-season evaluations and today we will take a look at the defensive tackles and defensive ends. Feel free to scroll back in this off-season blog and see what we have said about free agency, the draft, and take a look at what your fellow Redskins fans think of the team transactions over the last several months. BBQ will continue to take a look at each position and provide analysis over the next few weeks. Feel free to offer your own analysis as we go along.

- Days until Training Camp: 17
- Days until the first preseason game: 31
- Days until the Regular Season Opener (Eagles): 62
- Days until the Cowboys game: 69
- Days until the Giants game: 90

Let's get right to it!


Defensive Tackles, Defensive Ends:


Daron Payne
At 6-3 and 320, Daron Payne is a force in the middle and he will get even better. Payne is primarily a run stuffer, but he gets to the quarterback often and is simply a disruptive problem for opposing offenses. He has a legitimate chance to be an All-Pro this season.

Jonathan Allen
The Alabama product leads by example, but he is going to be more of a vocal leader for the defense this season. His career is gaining traction after coming back from an early season injury in 2017. He took major strides in 2018 and is set to have a greater jump in productivity in 2019. Allen has a realistic chance to be voted to the Pro Bowl.

Matt Ioannidis
Remember his first year in 2016? Many Redskins fans and pundits were ready to label him a fifth round bust and it was time to move on from him. Ioannidis spent some time on the practice squad, but he began to show some solid production in 2017. After he was given a new three year contract during this off-season, the former Temple Owl is ready to elevate his play to the next level. Could he get Pro Bowl consideration later this year?

Tim Settle
Many draft experts and pundits considered Tim Settle to be a second to fourth round prospect in the 2018 draft, but he lasted until the fifth round and the Redskins snagged him. Settle produced a very good pre-season last summer and provided some quality minutes off the bench in the regular season – albeit, in a limited role. The Virginia Tech alum should see a leap in his production and is set to have a very good 2019.

Caleb Brantley
Caleb Brantley was considered to be a late first or early second round talent in the 2017 draft, but character concerns dropped his stock and he was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the sixth round. The Browns surprisingly waived him late last summer and the Redskins swooped in and signed the former Florida Gator to a very team friendly contract. The character concerns were overblown and he has been a model citizen since entering the league. Brantley should have a good impact in 2019 and has the benefit of playing in Jim Tomsula's system for the last year.

Ryan Bee
Ryan Bee is similar in size to a former Redskins great – Dave Butz. That is where the comparisons end. Bee was signed this spring after the draft. The UDFA from Marshall could turn some heads in training camp and the preseason. He has a chance to be on the roster of fifty-three and, at the very least, a place on the practice squad. Keep an eye on him.

Others
JoJo Wicker could make some noise in the preseason, but he is a longshot to make the roster. However, don't count him out just yet. Austin Maloata and Jonathan Bonner are practice squad candidates for now.

Additional Thoughts
The defensive line is the best unit on the Redskins roster. If they can stay injury free in 2019 and live up to the hype, this defensive group can be the best in the NFL.

There is our latest look at roster position evaluations for this off-season. We will feature another position later this week.

That's what I'm talking about...

Just imagine Harmon taking a handoff on an end around and then heaving it sixty yards to McLaurin.

I would just be happy to see the kid come out and be a phenomenal 1-2 punch w/ McLaurin on the other side, and Quinn in the slot. It would be awesome to see at least 65 catches between the 3 of them, at least 2 of them.

Can't the season start next week
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

Today is the NFL Supplemental Draft. No one really knows why we need a Supplemental Draft, or why we should be excited about it.

So there you have it :)

Well, I wasn't excited about it.

Until YOU reminded me!!!

I AM STOKED!!!

I'm hoping we draft CoQ10. Or maybe Vitamin B12!!
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

Sadly - we ended up with Tumeric and Glucosamine-Chondroitin :(

Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions, 2019​

Greetings from BBQ to everyone here at BGO. We hope you had a good week. Hello to everyone on social media. We'd love to have you as a member here and become part of the family.

OTAs, mini-camp, rookie camp, and the draft have passed into the history books. Training camp will be here in just under two weeks. We'll continue to cover it all and give everyone at BGO the best coverage possible.

BBQ continues our off-season evaluations and today we will take a look at the inside linebackers. Feel free to scroll back in this off-season blog and see what we have said about free agency, the draft, and take a look at what your fellow Redskins fans think of the team transactions over the last several months. BBQ will continue to take a look at each position and provide analysis over the next few weeks. Feel free to offer your own analysis as we go along.

- Days until Training Camp: 13
- Days until the first preseason game: 27
- Days until the Regular Season Opener (Eagles): 58
- Days until the Cowboys game: 65
- Days until the Giants game: 86

Let's get right to it!


Inside Linebackers:


Jon Bostic
Jon Bostic is a seasoned veteran, but he is still young and effective at age 28. If he can prove to be a solid addition this season, Bostic could be extended another year or two. We don't list him as the best ILB currently on the roster, but we list him first because he is essentially the player who replaces Reuben Foster (on IR) in 2019. Foster is undeniably the best ILB for the Redskins when healthy. Look for Bostic to have a respectable season.

Josh Harvey-Clemons
Rating him this high? Absolutely! Harvey-Clemons had a good mini camp and a solid set of OTAs. Look for him to take the next steps and become a very good ILB. The Louisville product has bulked up to 245 lbs. on his 6-4 frame and this former defensive back's athleticism could pay huge dividends for the Redskins in 2019.

Mason Foster
The “Rodney Dangerfield” of the Redskins looks to continue his role of being a good presence in the rushing defense, but he is still something of a liability in coverage. Foster will probably receive fewer snaps this season, but don't discount his tackling skills at opportune times. By playing a little less, Foster could be a fresh set of legs as needed in the later stages of a contest. He has something of a knack for the ball and he could record several fumbles and an interception or two.

Shaun Dion Hamilton
Shaun Dion Hamilton was thought to be a late first round to mid second round talent at the inside linebacker position – that is until an injury late in the 2017 season at Alabama dropped his stock. The Redskins were able to add him in the sixth round last year and that move has begun to pay off. Hamilton became a solid presence in the latter half of the 2018 season – just as BBQ had predicted in the evals last summer. Look for the Crimson Tide product to become a regular in the lineup this season and have a very good season. Is the Pro Bowl a possibility?

Cole Holcomb
Holcomb is a rookie who is facing a logjam at ILB, but he could emerge as a very good role player. This North Carolina Tar Heel was considered to be a third or fourth round talent in the recent draft, but the Redskins got another steal after adding him late in the fifth round. Look for Holcomb to come in the game on passing downs as he replaces Mason Foster. Foster could find himself on primarily on the bench later in the season as Holcomb gains more experience. He is too talented to keep off the field.

Others
B.J. Blunt is an underrated prospect from McNeese St. in Louisiana and is a good candidate for the practice squad. If he can show some consistency, the 2019 UDFA could find a spot on the roster in the next two or three years.

There is our latest look at roster position evaluations for this off-season. We will feature another position early next week.
