Free Agency, The Mock Drafts, 2015 (Continual Updates)
Here is our surprise Redskins mock – a mock that goes to the extreme and this scenario is all but unlikely. It has a one percent chance of happening and that is being optimistic. But hey, you never know! This is just for fun. It’s nice to dream and fantasize, but in this mock we focus on the Browns and they could be crazy enough to do such a thing – so hey, let’s have at it on this lazy Saturday before we get to the serious goods next week.
Mock Draft, 2015
Round One:
The Redskins watch as Marcus Mariota falls to the fifth overall selection. Several teams enter the bidding and it comes down to the Jets, Browns, and Eagles. After some discussion, the choices come down to the Eagles and Browns. The Browns offer their entire draft for 2015 and the Redskins take it.
Note: The Browns have an extra pick in rounds one, four, and six.
Round One: Brandon Scherff, OT/OG, Iowa
Scherff is arguably the best tackle/guard on the board and slips to the Redskins at twelve.
Round One:
The Redskins trade down to the latter portion of round one and pick up a second round selection.
Round One: Breshad Perriman, WR, Central Florida
Perriman has it all – superior speed, size, strength, and great leaping ability.
Round Two: Eli Harold, OLB, Virginia
Harold is an explosive player who will allow Trent Murphy to move inside to ILB and form a powerful linebacker corps.
Round Two: Eric Rowe, CB, Utah
Rowe is a great tackler who can play zone or man to man. He also played safety for three years before making the switch to corner.
Round Two: Cameron Erving, OG/OT/C, Florida St.
Erving is versatile and can play several positions along the line, but is seen as a guard or center for his new team.
Round Three: Donovan Smith, OT, Penn St.
He is fundamentally sound and was able to graduate a year early – a true academic standout.
Round Three: Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State
The Redskins get a steal here as Ajayi is a pass catching specialist, a superb blocker, and can be a three down back.
Round 4:
The Redskins trade down in round four and pick up an extra fifth rounder.
Round 4: Durell Eskridge, FS, Syracuse
With the newfound depth at S via free agency and from the draft, the Redskins will have size, speed, strength, depth, and needed talents at these two vital positions.
Round 4: Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke
The four year starter holds his own against bull rushers, athletic linebackers, and provides solid pass protection.
Round 4: Jaquiski Tartt, SS, Samford
The Redskins add a talented strong safety from one of the obscure teams in the nation.
Round Five:
The Redskins trade down in round five and pick up a sixth rounder. They trade down again and pick up a seventh rounder.
Round Five: Jamon Brown, OT, Louisville
Blessed with a very wide and thick frame and could push for a starting position quickly. Brown is quick out of his stance and is able to neutralize defenders on a regular basis.
Round Five: Kaleb Eulls, DE, Mississippi St.
Eulls is the epitome of a hard worker and boasts excellent size for a 3-4 DE.
Round Five: Taiwan Jones, ILB, Michigan St.
Jones is more of a running game specialist and has some weaknesses in the passing game – somewhat hidden when called upon to blitz – an area where he is very effective.
Round Five:
The Redskins trade a sixth and seventh rounder and move up to the latter portion of round five.
Round Five: Nick Boyle, TE, Delaware
Boyle can snag his share of receptions, but blocking is his forte.
Round Six: Joey Mbu, DT, Houston
He has the size to shed blockers and often did so when excelling in the run defense. Can occupy blockers in the passing game.
Round Six: Max Garcia, C, Florida
He more than held his own at the Senior Bowl against highly rated prospects Danny Shelton and Carl Davis. He could be a day one starter.
Round Six: Dominique Brown, RB, Louisville
Brown is a large, bruising back who can specialize in short yardage situations. Strong and physical, he has a workhorse capability and is a superb receiver out of the backfield. An excellent blocker.
Round Seven: Connor Halliday, QB, Washington St.
Some would say that Halliday has the “it” factor that McCloughan covets and could be an absolute steal at this point in the draft.
Round Seven: Tray Walker, CB, Texas Southern
Has the size/height that McCloughan covets. Good coverage skills. Will probably sit for a year and then be a solid nickel.
There is your Saturday surprise Redskins mock. The draft is next week and we are here to cover it all. Monday brings a no trade mock. Tuesday is a minimal trade mock. Wednesday’s mock features multiple trades. Thursday morning is the BGO members-centric mock. Thursday afternoon features the “most likely” mock. Friday and Saturday will feature updated mocks.
Hope you enjoyed this crazy scenario. It would be nice if it happened. See you as we go along.
Hail To The Redskins!
