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

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

Probably not, but it just seems we always end up playing the gnats as a finale.

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 the final days of private workouts and team visits. The Redskins have visited with many players and the process of preparing and finalizing a draft board is 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.

Free Agency is in something of a dormant phase, but there are occasional rumblings here and there. This is our latest free agency update for the off-season and the draft is one week from today.

As the free agency curtain is fully unfurled now, things will become much clearer. Will Alex Smith ever return from a brutal injury? What kind of changes will we see to the roster? Those are some of the biggest questions to be answered in the 2019 off-season.

Who will we target in free agency? Who will we re-sign? Who will we not re-sign? Who will get released? Feel free to offer your opinions and predictions.

We take the latest chatter from Redskins Park and media pundits as BBQ tries to formulate what could happen in the coming days, weeks and months.


Free Agents Obtained:

Reuben Foster, ILB (Late Season Addition, 2018 – No Suspension, 4/12/19)
Landon Collins, SS (Signed, 3/13/19)
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB (Signed, 3/15/19)
Ereck Flowers, OG/OT (Signed, 3/18/19)
Brian Quick, WR (Signed, 3/18/19)
Andrew Ankrah, DT (Signed, 4/6/19)
Salesi Uhatafe, OG (Signed, 4/8/19)
DeMarquis Gates, OLB (Signed, 4/11/19)
Josh Woodrum, QB (Signed, 4/18/19)


Restricted Free Agents:

Maurice Harris, WR (Not Tendered, Signed with Patriots, 3/14/19)
Rob Kelley, RB (Not Tendered)


Exclusive Rights Free Agents:

Byron Marshall, RB (Signed Tender, 3/11/19)


Exercised Option:

Brandon Scherff, OG


Trades:

Case Keenum, QB (3/13/19)


Contract Extensions:

Matt Ioannidis, DT (Signed, 4/18/19)


Pending Unrestricted Free Agents:

Ty Nsekhe, OT (Signed by the Bills, 3/13/19)
Pernell McPhee, OLB (Possibly Returns)
Shawn Lauvao, OG (Possibly Retires)
Adrian Peterson, RB (Re-signed, 3/13/19)
Mark Sanchez, QB (Who? Huh? What?)
Josh Johnson, QB (Unknown)
Austin Howard, OT (Very Likely Walks)
Tony Bergstrom, OG/C (Unknown)
Luke Bowanko, C/OG (Very Likely Walks)
Michael Floyd, WR (Very Likely Walks)
Marquis Flowers, ILB (Very Likely Walks)
Zach Kerin, OG (Re-signed, 3/19/19)
Arie Kouandjio, OG (Unknown)
Zach Vigil, ILB (Possibly Returns)


Possible Release Candidates:

Alex Smith, QB (Very Likely To IR)
Josh Norman, CB (Likely Returns, Re-structure Contract?, Pay Cut?)
Vernon Davis, TE (Unknown)
Stacy McGee, DT (Released, 3/13/19)
Jordan Reed, TE (Very Likely Returns)
Zach Brown, ILB (Released, 3/13/19)
Samaje Perine, RB (Unknown, Trade?)
Colt McCoy, QB (Very Likely Returns)
Troy Apke, FS (Likely Returns)


Re-structure Contract Candidates:

Alex Smith, QB
Jordan Reed, TE
Josh Norman, CB


2019 Dead Money Contracts:

DJ Swearinger ($1.33M)
Orlando Scandrick ($500K)
Zach Brown ($3M)
Stacy McGee ($2.4M)


Off-Season Updates:

The Josh Rosen trade is still likely to happen (BBQ puts the odds at 70-30), but there is no guarantee either way. Alex Smith would be the perfect mentor and would help Rosen to learn the system.

The current Redskins cap room currently stands at $12.5M for 2019. The NFL cap for this year is $188.2M. Re-signing Brandon Scherff will provide more cap room. Releases and re-structures will also increase the cap room.

If Josh Norman is released, he would count $3M in dead money for 2019. Cutting him would save $11.5M. Overall savings would be $8.5M. However, BBQ doubts he will be released.

We know absolutely nothing on Alex Smith, but he will obviously not return in 2019. Will he be ready for the 2020 season? Is his career over? Will he retire? Will he give the Redskins any cap relief? No one knows, but we'll stay on top of it.

The extension given to Matt Ioannidis was for three years. He was set to be a free agent next year.


Personal Thoughts:

Players I believe that will not return include Michael Floyd, Mark Sanchez, Austin Howard, and Luke Bowanko.

Here is a list of players that I would like for the Redskins to consider in free agency. Not all of them can be signed, but these are a few I like.
Duke Johnson, RB, Cleveland (if released)
Shane Ray, OLB, Denver


In Conclusion:

The free agency updates will continue as new information is available. New mocks are coming soon.

Great news indeed regarding Ion. Dude was on a probowl level before injuries crept in.
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

Just another speculation point in the Rosen to skins drama. FWIW the cards left Rosen off a 2019-2020 season hype video. He may or may not be heading to the skins, or it could just mean they're getting their fanbase used to Murray. Who knows these things for sure.



Also, it could be me reading waaaaaaay too much into it, but the skins did said they're not "actively" pursuing a trade. Could it be because the skins & cards already have something in place?
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

Love the Matt I extension. Good move. DL rotation of the Alabama dudes, Matt, and Settle (plus another developmental guy like Brantley or a vet) sounds good to me.
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

Josh Rosen doing a pretty close imitation of a decent human being here. Makes me feel hopeful if we do make a move for him.

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 arrives one week from today and the countdown is now set to maximum heat! 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 has multiple 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 NFL Draft: 7
- Days until OTAs: 32
- Days until mandatory mini-camp: 49
- Days until the first NFL preseason game: 105
- Days until the 2019 Regular Season Opener: 140

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 second round pick to the Arizona Cardinals for quarterback Josh Rosen. As part of the deal, the Redskins trade Case Keenum to the Cardinals and receive a 2019 sixth round pick.


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
Clelin Ferrell, OLB, Clemson
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: 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.
N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona St.
Jaylon Ferguson, OLB, Louisiana Tech
Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
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


Round Three: Trade
The Redskins trade down in the third round and obtain a fourth round selection.


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
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): 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: 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
DaMarkus Lodge, WR, Mississippi
Jarrett Stidham, QB, Auburn
Oshane Ximines, OLB, Old Dominion
Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson
Isaac Nauta, TE, Georgia
Clayton Thorson, QB, Northwestern


Round Five: Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio St.
McLaurin is overrated by some talent evaluators and underrated by others. He has a limited body of work from his time as a Buckeye, but he could offer good value at this juncture of the draft. Solid route runner on the shorter patterns, but not a burner when the field is stretched. Compares to a younger Pierre Garcon, but will need some time to adjust at the next level. Very good blocking skills on longer runs and various passes downfield. He will likely never be a WR1, but could become a very good WR2.

Other Possible Picks:
Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota St.
Iman Marshall, CB, Southern California
Max Scharping, OT/OG, Northern Illinois
Foster Moreau, TE, LSU
Christian Miller, OLB, Alabama
Stanley Morgan, WR, Nebraska
Devine Ozigbo, RB, Nebraska
Maxx Crosby, OLB, Eastern Michigan
Khalen Saunders, DT, Western Illinois
Terry Godwin, WR, Clemson
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): 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: Gardner Minshew, QB, Washington St.
Remember the last time when the Redskins added two quarterbacks in the same year? It could happen again. Minshew is a product of Coach Mike Leach's gunslinger program, but the Cougar signal caller could become a reliable backup option and possibly a starter at the next level. Solid pocket presence. He has coachable skills and possesses a good arm along with decent size. Will certainly need time to develop and could be a candidate for the practice squad.

Other Possible Picks:
Khalil Hodge, ILB, Buffalo
Chuma Edoga, OT, Southern Cal
Mecole Harman, WR, Georgia
Saivion Smith, CB, Alabama
David Sills, WR, West Virginia
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 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: 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.
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 (Comp Pick): 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.


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 two additional mocks this week and a mock each day the next week – including two mocks on the 25th (first day of the draft).

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

It seems like this front office is going to try and make this a draft with more trades than they have now and for it to have an impact. We'll see.
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

Eye candy for those who have a man crush on Hockenson.

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

I thought this was "interesting".
A player comparison this site made to Hockenson, was Zeron Flemister from 2000.
Remember him ?

https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/tj-hockenson

Appears that the only 'data' used by that site's algorithm is combine measureables. There's no consideration at all in terms of if the guy can play football. It would seem it only gives you a reasonable comparable 'body type'?

It does go a little beyond 'body type', and into physical skills : 3-Cone Drill, Vertical, Broad, 40 time, Shuttle, Bench, and such...for what that's worth...

Yeah - cool site, never stumbled on that one... gonna run some comparisons for the QBs in this draft just out of curiosity.

Problem with it is, those things might show you closest matches in terms of speed, size, agility but still, so much more that defines athletes. A shame that they don't try and have other factors like ‘leadership style', performance under pressure, even things like arm strength, TD to INT ratio, etc... you'd probably get closer comparisons even if those things are more subjective...

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

Was checking on potential FA's and there's still a few good names out there. To include Eric Berry and Tre Boston. Unless he's asking for a boat load of $ we should at minimum kick the tires. Could lock our safeties down for many years.

https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/216/tre-boston
 
Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,

These players will not be signed until after May 7. That is when the comp formula for 2020 ends. Players signed after May 7 will not count against any potential comp picks in 2020. Skins currently have a fourth round comp pick in 2020. No need to lose it now. Let's see what happens after May 7.

So, since you're right, that this analysis was not a very in-depth comparison between Hockensen and Flemister, I took it a step further.
A further and deeper look reveals even more striking similarities.
Between their nicknames : Hock and Flem.

Got Flem ?
Hock it !
