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

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


Saw John Keim post that this morning without the Dan and Bruce bit. He got it from Russini but seems to realize that last bit is probably pure conjecture.

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

Greetings from BBQ to everyone in BGO land and guests from social media – we hope you become a member here.

It's draft week and the countdown is just one day! 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 bring you a mock that features a pre-draft trade and one other trade. BBQ does believe that a trade could happen during the draft – perhaps several trades.

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 NFL Draft: 1
- Days until OTAs: 26
- Days until mandatory mini-camp: 43
- Days until the first NFL preseason game: 99
- Days until the 2019 Regular Season Opener: 134

Without any further delays, let's take our latest look at the 2019 draft with this mock.


Pre-Draft Trade
The Redskins trade a 2020 third round pick to the Arizona Cardinals for quarterback Josh Rosen.


Round One: Trade
The Redskins trade down to the latter part round one and gain second and fourth round selections.


Round One: Montez Sweat, Edge/OLB, Mississippi St.
Sweat is a massively sized edge and most pundits rank him as the third or fourth best OLB in a very loaded class of edge rushers. He is likely to have an immediate impact and an impressive rookie season. Sweat dominated the NFL Combine and established himself as a top tier prospect. The only issue is his health – a heart condition. The Mississippi St. Bulldog is a likely starter from day one and will be a terror to opposing quarterbacks.

Other Possible Picks:
Cody Ford, G/OT, Oklahoma
Devin White, ILB, LSU
T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
Brian Burns, Edge/OLB, Florida St.
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Mississippi
Clelin Ferrell, Edge/OLB, Clemson
Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio St.
Jonah Williams, OT/OG, Alabama
Noah Fant, TE, Iowa


Round Two: A.J. Brown, WR, Mississippi
The Redskins need playmakers on offense, especially wide receiver. A.J. Brown is one of the best in the 2019 draft and he would have an immediate and positive effect on the receiving corps. Decent separation from corners and safeties. Effective on all routes. Strong hands. Significantly improved on his drop rate from the previous season. Very smart after the catch and can gain extra yardage. Will actually improve at the next level as the offense at Ole Miss limited a very talented wide receiving corps.

Other Possible Picks:
A.J. Brown, WR, Mississippi
Kelvin Harmon, WR, North Carolina St.
Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio St.
Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona St.
Jaylon Ferguson, OLB, Louisiana Tech
Will Grier, QB, West Virginia (Past Character Issues)
Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College
Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa St.
Taylor Rapp, FS, Washington
Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma
Jachai Polite, Edge/OLB, Florida (Character Issues, Interviews Poorly)


Round Two: Nasir Adderly, FS/SS, Delaware
Adderly has been steadily rising on draft boards and for good reason. He is a solid safety and would be a superb replacement for Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix. Very good speed and rapidly closes on running backs coming out of the backfield. Able to routinely shut down tight ends or limit their yardage. Rarely goes for a big hit and is much more interested in batting passes and collecting interceptions. Has cornerback experience, but is better suited as a safety. Superb tackler. Fundamentally sound.


Round Three: Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego St.
A Jack of all trades and a master of none describes Warring, but don't let that deter you. He is a solid tight end and rarely makes mistakes. Strengths include solid blocking skills, decent speed, very good route tree, superb pass protection, situational awareness, and excellent work ethics/positive attitude. Warring's size (6'5”, 255) and determination make it difficult for defenders to bring him down immediately after a reception.

Other Possible Picks:
Riley Ridley, WR, Georgia
Caleb Wilson, TE, UCLA
Andy Isabella, WR, Massachusetts
Irv Smith, TE, Alabama
Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&M
J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford
Armani Hooker, FS, Iowa
Ryan Finley, QB, North Carolina St.
Brett Rypien, QB, Boise St.
Deionte Thompson, FS, Alabama
DaMarkus Lodge, WR, Mississippi
Connor McGovern, OC/OG, Penn St.
Mack Wilson, ILB, Alabama (Character Issues)
Michael Deiter, OG, Wisconsin


Round Three (Comp Pick): DaMarkus Lodge, WR, Mississippi
DaMarkus Lodge receives far less attention than his fellow receivers at Ole Miss, but he is very talented and could offer excellent value 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 Ole Miss standouts 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.


Round Four: Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama St.
Howard is a talented, but somewhat raw prospect at the tackle position. He is not a long term starter, but is better suited to being a backup swing tackle in the future. He will need some extra time to adjust to the league, but he could be called upon later in the season for spot duty. Excellent size. A younger version of Ty Nsekhe, but with a higher ceiling. Demonstrates good footwork and creates leverage, but only if he is established in his stance first. Howard will need to learn that speed rushers are much faster in the NFL and realize that weak FCS competition is many steps lower. With good coaching, Howard may carve out a career of ten years or more.

Possible Picks:
Jalen Jelks, OLB, Oregon
Dru Samia, OG, Oklahoma
Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame
Nate Davis, OG/OT, UNC-Charlotte
Jarrett Stidham, QB, Auburn
Oshane Ximines, OLB, Old Dominion
Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson
Isaac Nauta, TE, Georgia
Clayton Thorson, QB, Northwestern


Round Five: Maxx Crosby, Edge/OLB, Eastern Michigan
Maxx Crosby doesn't have the elite pass rushing skills that would put him amongst the best, but he does have a steady motor that never quits. He is comparable to Ryan Kerrigan and will need some time to learn the level of intensity that the pro game requires. Good in the rushing defense. Needs some work in the pass rush, but should come with good coaching and determination. Great attitude. Could be a solid player for a decade or more.

Other Possible Picks:
Iman Marshall, CB, Southern California
Max Scharping, OT/OG, Northern Illinois
Christian Miller, OLB, Alabama
Foster Moreau, TE, LSU
Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio St.
Devine Ozigbo, RB, Nebraska
Stanley Morgan, WR, Nebraska
Khalen Saunders, DT, Western Illinois
Terry Godwin, WR, Clemson
Lester Cotton, OG, Alabama
Corbin Kaufusi, DE/OLB, Brigham Young
Carl Granderson, OLB, Wyoming
Austin Bryant, OLB, Clemson
Juwan Johnson, WR, Penn St.
Trace McSorley, QB, Penn St.


Round Five (Comp Pick): Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota St.
Could the Redskins actually add two quarterbacks in the draft? 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: 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
Gardner Minshew, QB, Washington St.
David Sills, WR, West Virginia
Garrett Brumfield, OG, Louisiana St.
Tre Watson, ILB, Maryland
Kingsley Keke, DE/DT, Texas A&M
Shareef Miller, OLB, Penn St.


Round Six (Comp Pick): Blake Cashman, ILB, Minnesota
Cashman is a talented and highly underrated inside linebacker. He played in obscurity in the great white north and while the Golden Gophers are not followed closely in the football world, Cashman quietly made a name for himself against quality competition. A bona fide tackling machine. Always around the football and making plays. Solid against the run, but struggles somewhat in coverage. Good speed – can close on the ball quickly. Will need to make his mark initially as a special teams ace.


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.

Other Possible Picks:
Jaylen Smith, WR, Louisville
Ryan Pope, OT, San Diego St.
Ulysees Gilbert, ILB, Akron
Olamide Zaccheaus, WR, Virginia
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
Ului Lapuaho, OT, BYU
Keelan Doss, WR, California, Davis
Daylon Mack, DT, Texas A&M
Kendall Blanton, TE, Missouri
Eric Dungey, QB, Syracuse


Round Seven: 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 6'7”, 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
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 a mock each day this week – including two mocks on Thursday (first day of the draft).
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

I think Dianna Russini would throw her own grandmother down the stairs to ‘get a scoop' so I think there's a 50% chance she's ‘heard something' here from anyone who would know. Just so easy to throw out the ‘Dan and Bruce are making the picks' shit with no indication where she's getting that info.

I think when people talk about Redskins' "Laaaaaauuuuuuuundry list of needs" they over-exaggerate.
Some needs are more desperate than other needs. And the ones that aren't so desperate are no different
than the needs that every single team in the NFL has, including the Super Bowl champions.
For example, don't talk about our ILB need like it's a do or die this season. It's not the same need as a QB or a WR.
And again, it's no different than the type of need that every team has. In fact, it's arguable that it's not even a need. We may not have All-Pros all over the position, but we don't exactly suck at ILB.
Everything is so exaggerated.
Truth is, we're not far from a playoff team, even if we don't plug in studs at every need on the laundry list.
Come on, we were ****ing 7-9 last year with McCoy, Sanchez, and Josh Johnson playing QB for half the season, PLUS a Laaaaaauuuuuuuundry list of injuries.
If we could just address our major needs, we'll be fine.
People think we need to become a team with zero weaknesses to be relevant. No team does that.

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

Pretty sure handies are being given out behind the bleachers at Redskins Park in return for inside info. Only question is whether it's Grant Paulsen giving them out or someone else?

Is that wrong?

You mean McCloughan's side piece? Scoty may be giving her that info while she gives him something in return. Why is it that it's always the same reporters in the middle of the muck? I guess it's just easy when you don't have standards and do whatever is needed to say what gets you the most attention.

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

Fear: love your passion.

So don't get roiled...but drafting based on need, at least in my book, is not the priority...and usually not a good idea. Draft the highest rated player on the draft board at the time of the pick. And have an identity/philosophy in mind as a variable for ranking. For my own part, I'd like to see the Skins become notorious for dominant, bone crushing defense. I think it's the shortest path at this time. Put some other offensive pieces in place in this draft (e.g., wideout, TE, guard) and the Skins can get to the playoffs with Keenum. Go all in for the franchise QB next season: dominant defense in place, o-line restocked, fresh off a playoff win or loss (i.e., Gruden keeps his job). Draft your backup this draft - perhaps Stick, Grier, etc. - or decide Case is just not all that bad.

I kinda like the ideas behind BB's last mock - even if he has warned us these mocks aren't necessarily his true or final word on the subject.

Anywho, I know what I saw last season. And it wasn't all that spectacular even before the injuries accumulated. The team needs to think creatively and make decisions for the long-run: like the Chiefs did with Mahones.

btw...firing back at me is only fair play! So have at it!

It's Lying Season. She is just reporting what she hears, even if it is disinformation (which DMR is not privy to).

Everyone seems to think you have to be one or the other - BPA or Need.
I believe you have to find the perfect ratio of both.
And also take it on a case by case basis.

So who should we draft in the first round? And why? Inquiring minds want to know.....before 2000 tomorrow night!!!!!! Sounds to me like you're leaning QB. That would be need based...in some respects.

No one is "right" in all of this. There are better and lesser reasons; different objectives along the way to the same goal. So let's party on as a at one-time famous comedian used to say.

Doesn't it depend on who is drafted by 14 other teams ?
I mean, why waste the trouble in deciding we should take a certain player, only to see another team take him :)

Not if you trade up or down. :)

And that's a point about bodies - but not strategy/priorities!

Anywho, all's good. Clock is ticking mister Fear! Let's hope we're all happy as the night winds down.

Well in case we trade down, just be emotionally prepared to wait another whole 24 hours in suspense for our first pick !

Only because Cousins is no longer around to receive them from Grant.

To answer your question, I hope we pick Hockensen if he's there.
Because I believe he provides the quickest impact, and on the side of the ball where we need the quickest impact.

And I believe we address the QB position.
By either trading for a low 1st round selection, or a higher 2nd round selection.

I put the odds that we stand pat and pick at 15 at about 25%. We either make a huge move up or move down for extra picks.

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

I know the latests is that we are out of the Rosen trade. But I thought of this scenario. What if the Cardinals draft Murray, then the Redskins draft Hockenson. Then the Redskins trade the oft injured Reed plus a 3rd or later (I don't know the actual value it would take just conjecturing) to the Cardinals for Rosen. That would obviously be a post pick trade. But you upgrade at the TE position, you get a young QB, you get rid of a guy who can't be counted on, and you don't give up too much to do all of that.

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

Greetings from BBQ to everyone in BGO land and guests from social media – we hope you become a member here.

It's draft week and the countdown hits zero! The draft is here! 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 following the draft. The process of team building never ends and BBQ will take a look at what could happen this spring and summer. Strap in tight – the ride is going to be exciting!

Today we bring you the first of two mocks today that feature trades. BBQ does believe that a trade could happen during the draft – perhaps several trades.

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 NFL Draft: Today
- Days until OTAs: 25
- Days until mandatory mini-camp: 42
- Days until the first NFL preseason game: 98
- Days until the 2019 Regular Season Opener: 133

Without any further delays, let's take our latest look at the 2019 draft with this mock.


Pre-Draft Trade
The Redskins trade a 2020 third round pick to the Arizona Cardinals for quarterback Josh Rosen.


Round One: Brian Burns, OLB, Florida St.
Brian Burns has been steadily climbing the charts since the end of the 2018 season. Excellent burst off the edge – often leaving left tackles and guards behind. Able to use his hands effectively when pushing aside offensive linemen. Has an array of explosive moves to the quarterback and often forces running backs back to the inside. Collapses pockets regularly. His motor never stops. Quickly notices what the offensive play is designed to do and immediately disrupts it. Ability to play with a hand in the dirt or standing up, thus making Burns able to compete in 3-4 and 4-3 packages.

Other Possible Picks:
Cody Ford, G/OT, Oklahoma
Devin White, ILB, LSU
T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Mississippi
Clelin Ferrell, Edge/OLB, Clemson
Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
Montez Sweat, Edge/OLB, Mississippi St. (Health Concern [Heart], Past Character Issues)
Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio St.
Jonah Williams, OT/OG, Alabama
Noah Fant, TE, Iowa


Round Two: Trade
The Redskins trade down a few slots in round two and gain a fourth round selection


Round Two: A.J. Brown, WR, Mississippi
The Redskins need playmakers on offense, especially wide receiver. A.J. Brown is one of the best in the 2019 draft and he would have an immediate and positive effect on the receiving corps. Decent separation from corners and safeties. Effective on all routes. Strong hands. Significantly improved on his drop rate from the previous season. Very smart after the catch and can gain extra yardage. Will actually improve at the next level as the offense at Ole Miss limited a very talented wide receiving corps.

Other Possible Picks:
Nasir Adderly, FS/SS, Delaware
Kelvin Harmon, WR, North Carolina St.
Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio St.
Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona St.
Jaylon Ferguson, OLB, Louisiana Tech
Will Grier, QB, West Virginia (Past Character Issues)
Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College
Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa St.
Taylor Rapp, FS, Washington
Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma
Jachai Polite, Edge/OLB, Florida (Character Issues, Interviews Poorly)


Round Three: Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego St.
A Jack of all trades and a master of none describes Warring, but don't let that deter you. He is a solid tight end and rarely makes mistakes. Strengths include solid blocking skills, decent speed, very good route tree, superb pass protection, situational awareness, and excellent work ethics/positive attitude. Warring's size (6'5”, 255) and determination make it difficult for defenders to bring him down immediately after a reception.

Other Possible Picks:
Riley Ridley, WR, Georgia
Caleb Wilson, TE, UCLA
Andy Isabella, WR, Massachusetts
Irv Smith, TE, Alabama
Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&M
J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford
Armani Hooker, FS, Iowa
Ryan Finley, QB, North Carolina St.
Brett Rypien, QB, Boise St.
Deionte Thompson, FS, Alabama
DaMarkus Lodge, WR, Mississippi
Connor McGovern, OC/OG, Penn St.
Mack Wilson, ILB, Alabama (Character Issues)
Michael Deiter, OG, Wisconsin


Round Three (Comp Pick): DaMarkus Lodge, WR, Mississippi
DaMarkus Lodge receives far less attention than his fellow receivers at Ole Miss, but he is very talented and could offer excellent value 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 Ole Miss standouts 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.


Round Four: Nate Davis, OG/OT, UNC-Charlotte
Nate Davis is a good tackle/guard prospect, but his greater potential is definitely on the inside. Solid in the rushing offense and very good in pass protection. Very good hand/foot coordination and rarely makes costly mistakes. Nice speed allows him to pull and lead on sweeps and screens – good downfield blocker. If he can add about ten pounds of bulk, Davis will be a roster lock for a decade or more.

Possible Picks:
Jalen Jelks, OLB, Oregon
Dru Samia, OG, Oklahoma
Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama St.
Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame
Nate Davis, OG/OT, UNC-Charlotte
Jarrett Stidham, QB, Auburn
Oshane Ximines, OLB, Old Dominion
Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson
Isaac Nauta, TE, Georgia
Clayton Thorson, QB, Northwestern


Round Five: Maxx Crosby, Edge/OLB, Eastern Michigan
Maxx Crosby doesn't have the elite pass rushing skills that would put him amongst the best, but he does have a steady motor that never quits. He is comparable to Ryan Kerrigan and will need some time to learn the level of intensity that the pro game requires. Good in the rushing defense. Needs some work in the pass rush, but should come with good coaching and determination. Great attitude. Could be a solid player for a decade or more.

Other Possible Picks:
Iman Marshall, CB, Southern California
Max Scharping, OT/OG, Northern Illinois
Christian Miller, OLB, Alabama
Foster Moreau, TE, LSU
Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio St.
Devine Ozigbo, RB, Nebraska
Stanley Morgan, WR, Nebraska
Khalen Saunders, DT, Western Illinois
Terry Godwin, WR, Clemson
Lester Cotton, OG, Alabama
Corbin Kaufusi, DE/OLB, Brigham Young
Carl Granderson, OLB, Wyoming
Austin Bryant, OLB, Clemson
Juwan Johnson, WR, Penn St.
Trace McSorley, QB, Penn St.


Round Five (Comp Pick): Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota St.
Could the Redskins actually add two quarterbacks in the draft? 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.

Other Possible Picks:
Khalil Hodge, ILB, Buffalo
Saivion Smith, CB, Alabama
Chuma Edoga, OT, Southern Cal
Mecole Harman, WR, Georgia
Gardner Minshew, QB, Washington St.
David Sills, WR, West Virginia
Garrett Brumfield, OG, Louisiana St.
Tre Watson, ILB, Maryland
Kingsley Keke, DE/DT, Texas A&M
Shareef Miller, OLB, Penn St.


Round Six (Comp Pick): Blake Cashman, ILB, Minnesota
Cashman is a talented and highly underrated inside linebacker. He played in obscurity in the great white north and while the Golden Gophers are not followed closely in the football world, Cashman quietly made a name for himself against quality competition. A bona fide tackling machine. Always around the football and making plays. Solid against the run, but struggles somewhat in coverage. Good speed – can close on the ball quickly. Will need to make his mark initially as a special teams ace.

Other Possible Picks:
Khalil Hodge, ILB, Buffalo
Saivion Smith, CB, Alabama
Chuma Edoga, OT, Southern Cal
Mecole Harman, WR, Georgia
Gardner Minshew, QB, Washington St.
David Sills, WR, West Virginia
Garrett Brumfield, OG, Louisiana St.
Tre Watson, ILB, Maryland
Kingsley Keke, DE/DT, Texas A&M
Shareef Miller, OLB, Penn St.


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.

Other Possible Picks:
Jaylen Smith, WR, Louisville
Ryan Pope, OT, San Diego St.
Ulysees Gilbert, ILB, Akron
Olamide Zaccheaus, WR, Virginia
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: 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 6'7”, 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
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
