Burner’s Burning Questions – The Mock Draft (Continual Updates)

The more I read Garcon's comments, the more I begin to seriously consider the team taking a WR with that 51st pick.

Safety or WR is what I believe now.

Been trying to brush up on the draft a little bit(still a novice..lol) but the more highlights I watch and the more I read....I hope the Skins find a way to get Jonathan Bostic(Lb/Fla) on this team.

Seems like the perfect guy for London to groom who would take his place.

What do you guys think?

What's wrong with Keenan Robinson ?
 
I hope that first pick of ours is going to be either S, RT, or CB. I'd be content with any of them and hope they fall in that order, or close to it anyways. Fred bought us one more year without having to take TE or that would be high up there as well.
 
OK, here is my feeble attempt at a Mock. Not only is mine mostly based on need, I have a gamble/reach or two.

Round 2 - D.J. Swearinger Safety, South Carolina
Round 3 - Duke Williams Safety, Nevada
Round 4 - D.J. Hayden CB, Houston
Round 5 - A.J. Klein ILB, Kansas State
Round 5 - Brandon McGee CB, Miami
Round 6 - Stefphon Jefferson RB, Nevada
Round 7 - Charles Johnson WR, Grand Valley State

Burner’s Burning Questions – The Mock Draft, Part Eight (Continual Updates)

BBQ continues the 2013 series of mock drafts and will provide constant updates based on team needs, free agency additions/losses, and injuries. This is the eighth mock of the new season and it will be updated again on Wednesday and Friday. The BBQ mocks will be a daily feature next week. Feel free to add your own ideas and mocks as we go along.

Team needs center mostly on the defensive secondary. Some of these issues could be settled (somewhat) in free agency, but we will address those concerns in future mocks, if needed.

Round 2:
With a draft that is deep in talent at many positions, the Redskins trade down to the early third round and pick up an early fourth rounder.

Round 3:
Philip Thomas – Safety, Fresno State
The Redskins waste no time in upgrading a horrible secondary and in particular, their safety corps. Thomas has a nose for the ball and is an interception machine.

Round 3:
Jordan Poyer – Cornerback, Oregon State
Poyer had a solid 2012 season and showed well at the Senior Bowl. He needs to improve his abilities against the run, but the coverage skills are superb.

Round 4:
Nick Kasa – Tight End, Colorado
Kasa is a massive TE with natural ability as a pass catcher. He would be a force on the offensive line, an asset in the running game, and a potent weapon in the passing game.

Round 4:
Montori Hughes – Defensive Tackle, Tennessee-Martin
Hughes comes from a small school, but could have a big impact at the next level. His stats are spectacular and he had a very impressive 2012 campaign.

Round 5:
Will Davis – Cornerback, Utah State
Davis is a cornerback who has the uncanny ability to improve in each and every game – and did so for the Aggies. Once an unheralded prospect, he could become an absolute stud in the NFL.

Round 5:
Stefphon Jefferson – Running Back, Nevada
We don’t need a running back? Ok, that’s fine, but Mike Shanahan has this uncanny habit of finding hidden gems at this position and Jefferson fits the bill. Many scouts are calling him this year’s Alfred Morris. Jefferson’s offense ran the pistol and he had a great year. His character is rated as extremely high. Enough said.

Round 6:
Ray Ray Armstrong – Safety, Miami
The big concerns about Armstrong center on his off the field issues and being away from the game for a year. First, he appears to have put the past behind him. Second, a year away from the game should not hurt what could be a huge steal for the Redskins. With incredible size, speed, and talent for a safety, Armstrong simply can’t be ignored at this juncture in the draft.

Round 7:
Oday Aboushi – Offensive Tackle, Virginia
Aboushi’s stock continues to fall and is not a highly rated offensive lineman. It is recognized that his skills are not suited to a traditional blocking scheme, but he has more than enough talent and ability to play quite well in a zone blocking scheme.

UDFAs
1. Lucas Reed – TE, New Mexico
2. Elvis Fisher – OT, Missouri
3. Jeff Braun – OT, West Virginia
4. T.J. Barnes – DT, Georgia Tech
5. Steve Greer – ILB, Virginia
6. Trey Wilson – CB, Vanderbilt
7. Alex Dunnachie - P, Hawaii
8. Omoregie Uzzi – G, Georgia Tech
9. James Wilson – G, Florida
10. Mark Jackson – G, Glenville St
11. Miguel Maysonet – RB, Stony Brook
12. Brandon Kaufman – WR, Eastern Washington
13. Rontez Miles – S, California (PA)
14. Tino Sunseri – QB, Pittsburgh
15. Demetrius McCray – CB, Appalachian St
16. Dalton Freeman – C, Clemson
 
this has to my favourite version yet

would love to draft back and still pick up quality
 
Wonder if Shanahan would draft Ryan Swope if he's there at 51, or later if he trades back? Could be another Percy Harvin type weapon for RGIII.
 
BB, I could really see your latest mock coming to pass based on what I've seen of several others. VERY nice!

The Redskins are surprised to see Lester in the sixth round. Once thought of as a first round talent, the team can’t ignore the quality pick here and the value received.

Oday Aboushi – Offensive Tackle, Virginia
Aboushi’s stock continues to fall and is not a highly rated offensive lineman. It is recognized that his skills are not suited to a traditional blocking scheme, but he has more than enough talent and ability to play quite well in a zone blocking scheme.

17. Ray Ray Armstrong – S, Miami
 
BB, looks like you backpedaled on Ray Ray in the 6th. It's a huge gamble to be sure but if Lester falls that far then it's a good value. Are you thinking Mike will try to make sure controversy is kept to a minimum heading into Training Camp?
 
I was thinking of putting the Honey Badger in one of the mocks this week, then he admitted to failing NUMEROUS drug tests and had a questionable tweet about the events in Boston. With that in mind, I am not immune to putting a player like that in a mock, but some things are hard to overlook.

This has more to do with Lester's stock falling to what I consider to be unreasonable levels. There's a reason why it is happening, but until I know the exact details, Lester was the choice here. The mock on Friday could be the same or have another change or two - all of it based on current trends, stories, team communication, rumors, etc.

JRock Mock, version 2.0:

2.51 - Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, UConn. Elite size make Wreh-Wilson an intriguing prospect, despite his slow timed speeds. Team captain, senior, elite size and fits a need - seems like the perfect pick for Shanahan.

3.85 - Redskins trade back with San Francisco, acquire the 93rd overall pick and the 128th overall pick (4th round).

3.93 (From San Francisco) - Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M - Shanahan surprises everyone, and snags another playmaker for RGIII and/or Cousins. Swope is the perfect replacement for Santana Moss, and will have the best slot WR in the business to learn from for a year (maybe two?).

4.119 - Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina - fantastic run-blocker, projects to RT in the NFL, had first or second round buzz until a torn labrum ended his senior campaign early. Could be a massive steal in the 4th-round, or could be another Jamal Brown...

4.128 (From San Francisco) - Cierre Wood, RB, Notre Dame - Shanahan takes his annual RB, and doesn't break tradition by taking him a little earlier than expected. Analysts note that Wood is decisive in his cuts, and "doesn't gear down before his plant and go." -Lance Zierlein. Excellent fit for a zone-scheme.

5.154 - Will Davis, CB, Utah State - The Redskins are delighted to find that Davis is still available in the 5th round, and waste no time in getting their pick in. The Utah State senior has good size & speed, but a poor Senior Bowl & lackluster combine caused his stock to drop.

5.162 - Stansly Maponga, OLB/DE, TCU

6.191 - Robert Lester, S, Alabama - Redskins finally address their glaring need at safety in the 6th round, and may have another big steal. Lester looked like a first-rounder in 2010, but regressed a bit in the following two seasons.

7.228 - Jake Stoneburner, TE, Ohio State - Stoneburner could have been drafted a lot earlier, if the Buckeyes had any kind of QB consistency. As it was, he didn't get a lot of opportunities.
 
BB, I like this one as well. I could see us trading down a couple time, especially out of the original round. If Kaufman can block, he could be an interesting prospect. Looks like he's got good hands according to his Combine highlights.

--------------------------------

Lanky, nice mock. Three things stick out at me though.

First off, while Lester would be a good value if he's still there in the 6th, it's a gamble to wait that long before drafting a need position like Safety.

Second, I would be surprised if we drafted Brennan Williams. He's projected to be a RT and we already have a boatload of RT candidates in Polumbus, Pashos, Trueblood and Compton. IF Mike was gonna take a Tackle, I think it would be a guy who has a lot of starts at LT as well. Somebody has to play LT if Trent goes down or gets suspended.

Finally, I would be VERY surprised if we drafted a RB anywhere before the 5th round. Other than Stefphon Jefferson, who has extensive experience in the Pistol, I probably wouldn't even consider one before the 6th round, but that's just me. Of course, my thoughts are also predicated on Helu coming back in time for Training Camp. If our FO is worried about that then I could see Mike pulling the trigger earlier.

Not wild about your 4th round but I really like rounds 5-7.

Good point about Williams...its actually the only pick I didn't like in my own mock. I could see them going Phillip Thomas there as well (if he's still available).

As far as RB - Wood is projected to go in the 4th-6th round, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Shanny pounce on him as early as the 3rd, if they really like him (Maurice Clarett jumps to mind).
 
JRock Mock, version 2.1 (Swapped Williams for McDonald):

2.51 - Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, UConn. Elite size make Wreh-Wilson an intriguing prospect, despite his slow timed speeds. Team captain, senior, elite size and fits a need - seems like the perfect pick for Shanahan.

3.85 - Redskins trade back with San Francisco, acquire the 93rd overall pick and the 128th overall pick (4th round).

3.93 (From San Francisco) - Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M - Shanahan surprises everyone, and snags another playmaker for RGIII and/or Cousins. Swope is the perfect replacement for Santana Moss, and will have the best slot WR in the business to learn from for a year (maybe two?).

4.119 - TJ McDonald, S, USC - Potential first-rounder who had a lackluster senior season has hurt his draft stock. A good showing at the Senior Bowl, however, will have Shanahan hitting "draft" on his keypad when pick 119 rolls around.

4.128 (From San Francisco) - Cierre Wood, RB, Notre Dame - Shanahan takes his annual RB, and doesn't break tradition by taking him a little earlier than expected. Analysts note that Wood is decisive in his cuts, and "doesn't gear down before his plant and go." -Lance Zierlein. Excellent fit for a zone-scheme.

5.154 - Will Davis, CB, Utah State - The Redskins are delighted to find that Davis is still available in the 5th round, and waste no time in getting their pick in. The Utah State senior has good size & speed, but a poor Senior Bowl & lackluster combine caused his stock to drop.

5.162 - Stansly Maponga, OLB/DE, TCU

6.191 - Robert Lester, S, Alabama - Redskins draft another safety in the 6th round, and may have another big steal. Lester looked like a first-rounder in 2010, but regressed a bit in the following two seasons.

7.228 - Jake Stoneburner, TE, Ohio State - Stoneburner could have been drafted a lot earlier, if the Buckeyes had any kind of QB consistency. As it was, he didn't get a lot of opportunities.
 
Quentin Jammer, former SD CB, is reportedly meeting with the Skins right now. It's possible that he would move to safety.

And A.J. Smith knows a lot about him.

He is 34 years old.
