Burner’s Burning Questions – The Mock Drafts, 2014 (Continual Updates)
The BBQ mocks continue as we get a closer look at the prospects. The frequency of mocks will increase this week as we get closer to the draft and it will be a daily feature next week. Feel free to add your own ideas and mocks as we go along.
The format is a bit different than what we have seen in the past. In each round, other candidates for selection are featured.
Round Two: Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia
Moses is the latest Virginia product to continue a tradition of quality tackle prospects from President Jefferson’s university. He is a talented player who should fit in at the right tackle position.
Other Possibilities:
Dion Bailey, S, USC
Gabe Jackson, G, Mississippi State
Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana
Round Three:
The Redskins trade down and receive two third round picks.
Round Three: Keith McGill, CB, Utah
The Redskins have met with McGill and they are impressed with his size, speed, and ball hawking skills. He had an impressive showing at the Senior Bowl and continued to showcase his talent at the combine.
Round Three: Travis Swanson, C, Arkansas
The young Razorback is ready to be plugged in right away and become a mainstay on the Redskins roster for the next decade. He has a nasty streak and possesses great mobility for his size.
Other Possibilities:
Ahmad Dixon, S, Baylor
Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB, Nebraska
Cameron Fleming, OT, Stanford
Weston Richburg, C, Colorado State
Round Four: Justin Ellis, DT, Louisiana Tech
In other years, Ellis would grade out as a second rounder. The deepest draft ever has him dropping to the fourth round and the Redskins get a steal at a vital position.
Other Possibilities:
Daniel McCullers, DT, Tennessee
Jared Abbrederis, WR, Wisconsin
Kenny Ladler, S, Vanderbilt
Taylor Hart, DE, Oregon
Round Five: Cyril Richardson, G, Baylor
The Redskins are surprised to see Richardson falling to the fifth round and realize that he provides good value at this juncture. He is a big guard who can pull effectively and provide superb pass protection. Robert Griffin, III puts a good word in for his former teammate.
Other Possibilities:
Jeoffrey Pagan, DE/DT, Alabama
James Hurst, OT, North Carolina
Max Bullough, ILB, Michigan State
Jordan Zumwalt, ILB/OLB, UCLA
Round Six:
The Redskins trade down and receive a sixth and seventh rounder.
Round Six: DeAndre Coleman, DE/DT, California
Coleman is a great fit at defensive end in a 3-4 scheme and has the ability to play some defensive tackle when needed. He would be a depth addition, but could become a starter within a year or two.
Other Possibilities:
Jay Prosch, FB, Auburn
Beau Allen, DT, Wisconsin
Tyler Larsen, C, Utah State
Charles Leno, Jr., OT, Boise State
Round Seven: Shaquil Barrett, OLB, Colorado State
Barrett is a highly underrated player who simply makes good defensive plays. Check out these stats: The Mountain West defensive player of the year had twenty tackles for a loss, three blocked kicks, twelve sacks, seventy-four tackles, and was a special teams ace.
Round Seven: Quandon Christian, OLB, Clemson
Christian credentials are not too shabby as he projects to the lower rounds, but he is a good defender against the pass and could contribute as a special teamer. He dropped back in coverage often and even played in nickel and dime positions when needed.
Other Possibilities:
Jordan Najvar, TE, Baylor
Dontae Johnson, FS, N.C. State
Tim Flanders, RB, Sam Houston State
Glenn Carson, ILB, Penn State
UDFAs:
Shaquille Richardson, CB, Arizona
Keith Price, QB, Washington
Zack Kerr, DT, Delaware
Andrew Rodriguez, OG, Nebraska
Ricky Havili-Heimuli, DE/DT, Oregon
Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
Steele Divitto, ILB, Boston College
Jerome Smith, RB, Syracuse
Chris Whaley, DE, Texas
Zac Kerin, C, Toledo
Jonathan Dowling, FS, Western Kentucky
Alfred Blue, RB, LSU
Matt Hall, OT, Belhaven
Once again, feel free to add your own mocks, ideas, and suggestions.
