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

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

Alex Smith's future as a Redskin is still uncertain and his football playing days could be over, but he can still have a positive impact on the team. Be sure to scroll back to the previous page on the latest Alex Smith news that was posted today.

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

I think Alex would be a helluva qb coach for us. If he'd want to be that is.

That's a lopsided chat list tilted toward offense. I do hope we end up with David Sills though, he'd make our next young qb more comfortable.

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

Another prospects list coming shortly. BBQ mock coming in about ninety minutes.

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

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.

The 2019 NFL draft is just over three months away, but it will be here before you know it. It's a bit early in the process, but we do have a few ideas what the team needs in late April. The process of team building never ends and BBQ is about to take a look at what could happen later this spring.

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.

We will no longer feature two mocks each week. There is no way Alex Smith will play in 2019 and his career is likely over.

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

Round One: Trade
The Redskins receive an offer to trade down several positions in the first round and add 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 should add about ten to fifteen pounds of bulk to his frame. 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
Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
Clelin Ferrell, OLB, Clemson
Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
A.J. Brown, WR, Mississippi
Jachai Polite, Edge/OLB, Florida
Daniel Jones, QB, Duke

Round Two: J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford
Arcega-Whiteside could be the most accomplished receiver prospect in the 2019 draft. He has elite skills and is simply a master at all of the tree routes. Routinely makes incredible catches. A true highlight reel. Ability to separate from defenders on a regular basis. A powerful red zone target – fades and slants are a specialty. Long strides give him an advantage over safeties. Often gains good yardage after the catch.

Other Possible Picks:
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Mississippi
Brett Rypien, QB, Boise St.
Rashan Gary, DE/OLB, Michigan
Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
Jaquan Johnson, SS, Miami
T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
Nasir Adderly, FS/SS, Delaware
DaMarkus Lodge, WR, Mississippi
Riley Ridley, WR, Georgia

Round Two: Will Grier, QB, West Virginia
Will he last until round two? It's possible. Grier had a rough start in Mobile at the Senior Bowl, but he improved throughout the week. He will need some help with his footwork, but the Mountaineer gunslinger is a winner. He does come with a couple of character issues and dealing with his family is a concern as well. However, Grier interviewed extremely well during Senior Bowl week and came across as mature and determined. Will the Redskins take the risk?

Round Three: 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.

Other Possible Picks:
Caleb Wilson, TE, UCLA
J.R. Reed, SS, Georgia
Yodny Cajuste, OT, West Virginia
Jalen Jelks, OLB, Oregon
Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa St.
Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
Ryan Finley, QB, North Carolina St.
Connor McGovern, OC/OG, Penn St.
David Sills, WR, West Virginia
Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&M
Michael Deiter, OG, Wisconsin

Round Three (Comp Pick): Juan Thornhill, SS, Virginia
D.J. Swearinger alienated coaches and players alike in recent weeks and the Redskins released him. Juan Thornhill can step in on day one and be even better than Swearinger. Thornhill is a smart and savvy player at strong safety. He has good size, speed, and the intangibles to excel at the next level.

Round Four: Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota St.
Easton Stick has been steadily rising on draft boards for several months now and for good reasons. He's a winner and there have been a few whispers that Stick is a better prospect than another Bison product – Carson Wentz. 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.

Round Five: Isaac Nauta, TE, Georgia
Jordan Reed can't stay healthy for an entire season it seems and Vernon Davis could be a cap casualty. Isaac Nauta is a solid route runner who can stretch the field. Dependable receiver. Blue collar type of worker who is an effective blocker in the rushing offense and on screens and downfield passes. Has the ability to leave linebackers in his dust. Has the ability to separate from slot corners.

Other Possible Picks:
Max Scharping, OT/OG, Northern Illinois
Foster Moreau, TE, LSU
Clayton Thorson, QB, Northwestern
Darrell Henderson, RB, Memphis
Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama St.
Juwan Johnson, WR, Penn St.
Trace McSorley, QB, Penn St.
Bryce Love, RB, Stanford
Lester Cotton, OG, Alabama

Round Five (Comp Pick): Corbin Kaufusi, DE, 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 Six (Comp Pick): 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 (5'8”, 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:
Joe Dineen, ILB, Kansas
Chuma Edoga, OT, Southern Cal
Jonathan Ledbetter, DE, Georgia
Emanuel Hall, WR, Missouri
Carl Granderson, OLB, Wyoming
Kingsley Keke, DE/DT, Texas A&M
Wes Hills, RB, Slippery Rock

Round Seven: Ului Lapuaho, OT, BYU
It's no secret that Ty Nsekhe struggled this past season in backup duty and will be in his mid-thirties this year. 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.

Other Possible Picks:
Jaylen Smith, WR, Louisville
Olive Sagapolu, DT, Wisconsin
Nate Herbig, OG, Stanford
Ulysees Gilbert, ILB, Akron
Keelan Doss, WR, California
Daylon Mack, DT, Texas A&M
Eric Dungey, QB, Syracuse
Kendall Blanton, TE, Missouri

In Conclusion
The extra sixth round comp pick that the Redskins had recently was surrendered when Terrelle Pryor was released late in the season by the Jets. The extra seventh rounder that the Redskins were projected to receive will not happen due to the NFL's Rule of 32. As a result, the Redskins will now receive only three comp picks in the 2019 draft (3rd, 5th, 6th). When free agency opens, the changes to the roster will also have an effect on the draft. Mocks in late January look much different than mocks in the spring. For now, we can only speculate based on current team needs and performance to date.

There is your latest mock today. We will have another mock next Friday. The mocks will continue to be posted this winter and early spring, then the volume of mocks will increase as we get closer to the draft.
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

BB, we appreciate all you do...but with the front office of this team always playing catchup at exactly the wrong times, I would bet the house they draft one of the QB's in the 1st round who are probably more like a 3rd round pick, and probable bust in the NFL.
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

That's a fair assessment and it could happen - we would still be a laughing stock. With Bruce admittedly having less to do with the football side, maybe Kyle and Doug can truly target the right players and get the quarterback(s) that fit the team.

I'm not 100% in that view, but the draft is 90 days from today. The answers are coming soon.
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

Double post, so I'll just say F U BruDan, just F U with a Prius on fire

QB selection is still mostly a crap shoot. Teams are making their best educated guess, but it's still largely just that. You can pick a guy in the 1st round that's a supposed can't miss who totally busts. Or you can grab a guy in the mid-rounds who turns out to be better than 90% of the 1st rounders.

Of course - we'd rather the team had a top 5 pick so they can at least go with a guy that most of the experts think is 'can't miss'. But we are never so horrible as to warrant that pick, and that means giving up a bevy of picks to move up, something we've already had experience with.

So that means picking someone who has known flaws, or going with a 'project' or hail mary pick in the 3rd round or beyond.

We are so due for some luck in finding a young guy who can be our franchise QB for the next decade. But we just seem so incapable of finding him, and are so snakebit that no matter what we seem to do, it blows up in our face.

All I have left is to watch out of morbid curiousity to see what's going to happen :)

I think you just made my point for me?

And BB, with the buzz surrounding Renfrow, where do you see him going? Is he a 2nd rounder?

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

Renfrow, at least to me, is a fourth rounder. He could go in the third.

Drew Lock has not been impressive in this Senior Bowl. His footwork thus far is subpar. Grier has made a few impressive tosses.
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

And Grier has made a few unimpressive tosses as well. Frustrating!
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

Drew Lock stepped it up a bit, but Daniel Jones - ugh.
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

And the QB that impressed me the most in the Senior Bowl was...

Tyree Jackson.

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

Any RB's stand out to you today BB? We need a quality backup for Guice.

So I would not be upset at all if they took him in round 4, provided we addressed OL and safety in 1, and 2...and maybe a CB with 3, or any combination of those 3 positions.

As for QB, we might as well take a flyer late on a QB like Finley. I just don't want to over reach for a QB and with this draft class being...meh...it's likely going to happen.
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

I would hope that if they do choose a young QB in the draft, that it's not based on the Senior Bowl. It's nice to get reports and every bit of data and observation matters, but it's not a real game with guys that have practiced together - and above all, it is just one game. Hopefully if we are looking hard at 4 or 5 guys, our scouting department is dissecting every second of every game they've ever played.
