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.

Today we take a look at the college prospects list. The East-West Shrine game, the Senior Bowl, The NFL Combine, and the college pro days are ancient history. The Redskins are now focused on private workouts, team visits, and the local pro day (this Friday). The Redskins will visit with many players and the process of preparing a draft board is going to be intensive.

BBQ will cover it all and post all relevant information here. If you come across any information, please post it here.

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 two weeks away and it will be here before you know it! 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 features 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: 5
- Days until the NFL Draft: 15
- Days until OTAs: 40
- Days until mandatory mini-camp: 55
- Days until the first NFL preseason game: 113
- Days until the 2019 Regular Season Opener: 148

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


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
Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
Clelin Ferrell, OLB, Clemson
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Mississippi
Montez Sweat, Edge/OLB, Mississippi St. (Health Concern [Heart])
Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio St.
Jonah Williams, OT/OG, Alabama
Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma (Interviews Poorly)


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
Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College
Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
Round Two: Will Grier, QB, West Virginia (Past Character Issues)
Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa St.
Jachai Polite, Edge/OLB, Florida (Character Issues, Interviews Poorly)
Taylor Rapp, FS, Washington


Round Three: Trade
The Redskins trade down a number of positions and obtain a fourth rounder.


Round Three: Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&M
Sternberger could start from day one, but probably needs to add ten to fifteen pounds of bulk and muscle to his long frame. He is an absolute monster after the catch and can drag a defender (sometimes two defenders) twenty or thirty yards with ease. He has a solid receiving skillset and is not afraid to go over the middle. Fantastic red zone target. Routinely goes up high for jump ball catches. Typically wins any contested catch. Very good blocker, but still some room for improvement.

Other Possible Picks:
Riley Ridley, WR, Georgia
Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego St.
Caleb Wilson, TE, UCLA
D'Andre Walker, OLB, Georgia
Armani Hooker, FS, Iowa
Andy Isabella, WR, Massachusetts
Irv Smith, TE, Alabama
Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford
Ryan Finley, QB, North Carolina St.
Deionte Thompson, FS, Alabama
Brett Rypien, QB, Boise St.
Connor McGovern, OC/OG, Penn St.
Mack Wilson, ILB, Alabama (Character Issues)
Michael Deiter, OG, Wisconsin


Round Three (Comp Pick): Trade
The Redskins trade this pick to the Arizona Cardinals for quarterback Josh Rosen.


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:
David Sills, WR, West Virginia
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: Lester Cotton, OG, Alabama
Cotton is a sizable guard that is very strong and rarely makes crippling mistakes. Great presence on the inside. Average speed, but can pull effectively to either side when needed. Has played against quality competition in the SEC and held his own each season. He can have dominant streaks, but is mostly a solid guard who is better in the rushing offense and needs some work in pass protection.

Other Possible Picks:
Foster Moreau, TE, LSU
Christian Miller, OLB, Alabama
Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota St.
Devine Ozigbo, RB, Nebraska
Iman Marshall, CB, Southern California
Devine Ozigbo, RB, Nebraska
Max Scharping, OT/OG, Northern Illinois
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
Corbin Kaufusi, DE, Brigham Young
Austin Bryant, OLB, Clemson
Devine Ozigbo, RB, Nebraska
Juwan Johnson, WR, Penn St.
Trace McSorley, QB, Penn St.


Round Five (Comp Pick): 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 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
Chuma Edoga, OT, Southern Cal
Saivion Smith, CB, Alabama
Mecole Harman, WR, Georgia
Gardner Minshew, QB, Washington St.
Nate Davis, OG/OT, UNC-Charlotte
Emanuel Hall, WR, Missouri
Garrett Brumfield, OG, Louisiana St.
Tre Watson, ILB, Maryland
Kingsley Keke, DE/DT, Texas A&M
Shareef Miller, OLB, Penn St.


Round Seven: Ulysees Gilbert, ILB, Akron
If you're looking for a late round gem that is the model of consistency and with plenty of upside, then Ulysees Gilbert is a perfect selection here. At 6'1” 235, he has prototypical size for an inside linebacker. Gilbert has started since his sophomore year and contributed in every game as a true freshman in 2015. A tackling machine. Solid in coverage (averages several interceptions a year), solid in the rushing defense, solid in the pass rush. Superb athleticism allows him to excel in all three facets, including sacking the quarterback a few times each year. The only knock on him is the lack of quality D1 competition faced.

Other Possible Picks:
Jaylen Smith, WR, Louisville
Ryan Pope, OT, San Diego St.
Renell Wren, DT, Arizona St.
Olamide Zaccheaus, WR, Virginia
Joe Dineen, ILB, Kansas
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 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.


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 have two more mocks this week. 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,

Love your draft BB, would settle many of our woes. As much as I wanna get our ground game going, nabbing Burns could do soooo much for our D.

Plus you throw in a healthy, pissed off Reuben Foster who just lays the boom! Giggity Giggity

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

I like it too BB.

Hard figurin out what the Skins will do vis QB. Other than the give-away with TVs, NLFCs, TPDs being bunched with QBs - the team has done a good job masking its intentions. They're gonna draft a QB. Question is first round - take what drops (Jones) or trade up - vice wait for second or third round for a QB they really like. No looks at Rypien or Stick. Lotta time with Grier. Considerable time with Jones.

If this is the case, they will be drafting need and not best player...though they will state otherwise. Not my preference, but then again Brudan decision-making seems grounded in multiple objectives.

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

FWIW it seems the next chapter of 'As The Rosen Turns', now we're NOT very interested in him.

Meh, who the heck knows these things. LOL

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

- Days until OTAs: 38
- Days until mandatory mini-camp: 53
- Days until the first NFL preseason game: 111
- Days until the 2019 Regular Season Opener: 146

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


Round One: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio St.
By demonstrating patience and remaining true to their draft board, the Redskins land the talented quarterback from Ohio St. The front office takes the option of having an experienced NFL starter to begin the season as the starter and let Haskins learn as the season progresses. Haskins is a winner, but not a lot of starts at OSU. Very good accuracy. Needs to be in a system that relies on quick reads and not dropping back too far in the pocket. Good pocket awareness and decent arm strength. Good fit for the Gruden WCO system.

Other Possible Picks:
Cody Ford, G/OT, Oklahoma
Brian Burns, OLB, Florida St.
Devin White, ILB, LSU
Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
Clelin Ferrell, OLB, Clemson
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Mississippi
Montez Sweat, Edge/OLB, Mississippi St. (Health Concern [Heart])
Jonah Williams, OT/OG, Alabama
Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma (Interviews Poorly)


Round Two: Trade
The Redskins trade down in round two and pick up a third rounder.


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
Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College
Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
Round Two: Will Grier, QB, West Virginia (Past Character Issues)
Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa St.
Jachai Polite, Edge/OLB, Florida (Character Issues, Interviews Poorly)
Taylor Rapp, FS, Washington


Round Three: Trade
The Redskins trade down a number of positions and obtain a fourth rounder.


Round Three: Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&M
Sternberger could start from day one, but probably needs to add ten to fifteen pounds of bulk and muscle to his long frame.

He has a solid receiving skillset and is not afraid to go over the middle. Fantastic red zone target. Routinely goes up high for jump ball catches. Typically wins any contested catch. Very good blocker, but still some room for improvement.

Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego St.
Caleb Wilson, TE, UCLA
Armani Hooker, FS, Iowa
Andy Isabella, WR, Massachusetts
Irv Smith, TE, 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 Three: D'Andre Walker, OLB, Georgia
Walker is a player who runs hot and cold, but should improve at the next level with good coaching. He is a bit of a late bloomer and did not start until his senior season for the Bulldogs, so his upside is tremendous. Redskins coaches should be able to tap into that potential and turn Walker into consistent pass rushing specialist. Good size and speed. Solid contributor in the rushing defense – defends well against blocking from fullbacks, running backs, and tight ends. Will need improvement against receivers running slant routes and crossing patterns.


Round Three (Comp Pick): Deionte Thompson, FS, Alabama
No Redskins draft is complete without a draftee from Alabama. The Redskins have a need at free safety. The Crimson Tide has one available this off-season and he could be a natural fit for the burgundy and gold. Thompson is an aggressive free safety, but he can over pursue at times. Having Landon Collins as a mentor should help him to improve greatly, but Thompson will need to overcome the poor decision making that he is known for at times. Good height, but should add about fifteen pounds of bulk to his frame. Good speed. Solid range in the open field, but needs to improve footwork just a bit. As a single high safety, Thompson will need to become more disciplined at the next level.


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:
David Sills, WR, West Virginia
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 (Comp Pick): Corbin Kaufusi, DE/OLB, Brigham Young

He's strong, powerful, deceptively quick, and would likely need a year to adjust to the NFL.

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 under two weeks away and the countdown begins! 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 features 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: 2
- Days until the NFL Draft: 12
- Days until OTAs: 37
- Days until mandatory mini-camp: 52
- Days until the first NFL preseason game: 110
- Days until the 2019 Regular Season Opener: 145

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


Round One: T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
The complete and total package at tight end. Great receiver. Excellent blocker. Able to gain major chunks of yardage after a reception. Has the mentality of an offensive lineman when blocking. Also, Hockenson is a superb lead blocker downfield. Long frame allows him to win “jump balls” and provide a reliable red zone target. A true first round talent.

Other Possible Picks:
Cody Ford, G/OT, Oklahoma
Brian Burns, OLB, Florida St.
Devin White, ILB, LSU
Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio St.
Clelin Ferrell, OLB, Clemson
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Mississippi
Montez Sweat, Edge/OLB, Mississippi St. (Health Concern [Heart])
Jonah Williams, OT/OG, Alabama
Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma (Interviews Poorly)


Round Two: Trade
The Redskins trade down in round two and pick up a third rounder.


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
Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College
Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
Round Two: Will Grier, QB, West Virginia (Past Character Issues)
Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa St.
Taylor Rapp, FS, Washington


Round Three: Trade
The Redskins trade their first of three picks in the third round and obtain quarterback Josh Rosen from the Arizona Cardinals.


Round Three: Trade
The Redskins trade the second of their three picks in the third round and after trading down a number of positions, they are able to obtain a fourth rounder.


Round Three: Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego St.
A Jack of all trades, but a master of none describes Warring. However, 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
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
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 Three: (Comp Pick) D'Andre Walker, OLB, Georgia
Walker is a player who runs hot and cold, but should improve at the next level with good coaching. He is a bit of a late bloomer and did not start until his senior season for the Bulldogs, so his upside is tremendous. Redskins coaches should be able to tap into that potential and turn Walker into consistent pass rushing specialist. Good size and speed. Solid contributor in the rushing defense – defends well against blocking from fullbacks, running backs, and tight ends. Will need improvement against receivers running slant routes and crossing patterns.


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: Christian Miller, OLB, Alabama
When a defensive unit is able to dominate the college football world for many years, it makes sense to draft some of their players along the way. Miller could be the latest Crimson Tide prospect in a Redskins uniform. A bit underrated. Very good in run defense, but not overly explosive as a pass rusher. Average speed. Good tackler, but could do a better of finishing. Very good motor and refuses to quit on any play. Potential upside is good with proper coaching.

Other Possible Picks:
Foster Moreau, TE, LSU
David Sills, WR, West Virginia
Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota St.
Iman Marshall, CB, Southern California
Max Scharping, OT/OG, Northern Illinois
Stanley Morgan, WR, Nebraska
Maxx Crosby, OLB, Eastern Michigan
Khalen Saunders, DT, Western Illinois
Corbin Kaufusi, DE/OLB, Brigham Young
Terry Godwin, WR, Clemson
Carl Granderson, OLB, Wyoming
Austin Bryant, OLB, Clemson
Devine Ozigbo, RB, Nebraska
Juwan Johnson, WR, Penn St.
Trace McSorley, QB, Penn St.


Round Five (Comp Pick): Lester Cotton, OG, Alabama
Cotton is a sizable guard that is very strong and rarely makes crippling mistakes. Great presence on the inside. Average speed, but can pull effectively to either side when needed. Has played against quality competition in the SEC and held his own each season. He can have dominant streaks, but is mostly a solid guard who is better in the rushing offense and needs some work in pass protection.


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
Chuma Edoga, OT, Southern Cal
Saivion Smith, CB, Alabama
Mecole Harman, WR, Georgia
Gardner Minshew, QB, Washington St.
Nate Davis, OG/OT, UNC-Charlotte
Emanuel Hall, WR, Missouri
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 (5'8”, 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:
Jaylen Smith, WR, Louisville
Ryan Pope, OT, San Diego St.
Ulysees Gilbert, ILB, Akron
Renell Wren, DT, Arizona St.
Joe Dineen, ILB, Kansas
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
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 four mocks next week and a mock each day the following week – including two mocks on the 25th (first day of the draft).

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

And there is the latest mock for this week - three, as promised. It has been a difficult week, but the off-season must be updated as needed and expected.

This coming week should be much more normal.

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

Receiver heavy in the 1st 4 rounds, but I love TJ Hockenson and really think he would make a far greater impact on this offense than any WR coming out in the draft...and his presence would only help a couple of the young draft picks you have us taking in round 2 and 4.

Though it goes against my philosophy that we should expect or worse rely on young talent returning from injury, we have 3 on offense I think will step up this season, Derrius Guice, Trey Quinn should step up after their injuries, but I am really looking forward to seeing what Cam Sims can do.

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

@Burgundy Burner Thanks for the contributions even during a week I know was so hard for you. I understand your pain and am giving you a bro hug as I also have been very close to my non-human family members.

Love me some Hockenson and I hope he is still there at 15 if we elect not to go QB there. But two TEs in the first 3 rounds? I am sure you expected to get challenged on that ... so what's your thought process? I'd be less surprised by our drafting two QBs if I'm being honest. Do you think we're going to shop Reed - is that what you foresee possibly happening here?

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

Yes to everything you said. I could see Vernon and Jordan gone. It's unlikely, but not totally of out the realm of possibility.

Difficult week. Yes. If I don't improve in the next couple of weeks, I will seek some help. This is not healthy.

Back to football.

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

According to this source, looks like Jordan may already be gone.

Sorry, I guess that was cruel to do it after April Fools.
I will proceed to meticulously work on a 2-minute-long masterpiece.

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

Lol - I should slow down and read. You got me.
