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 as we get closer to the draft and it will be a daily feature in the final week. Feel free to add your own ideas and mocks as we go along.
Team needs are OL, DL, MLB, CB, and FS. Some of these issues could be settled (somewhat) in free agency, but we will address those potential signings in future mocks. Each week, there will be mocks with and without trades. 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: 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.
Other Possibilities:
Ahmad Dixon, S, Baylor
Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB, Nebraska
Travis Swanson, C, Arkansas
Weston Richburg, C, Colorado State
Round Four: Brent Urban, DE, Virginia
The Redskins return to Virginia and pluck an impressive 3-4 defensive end to bolster the line. Urban has enormous upside and would fit into the rotation quickly and could be a starter by mid season.
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
Justin Ellis, DT, Louisiana Tech
Jordan Zumwalt, ILB/OLB, UCLA
Round Six: Jordan Najvar, TE, Baylor
He rarely got targeted by the Bears as they typically don’t feature tight ends in the pass happy offense. When Najvar was targeted, he produced and put up good numbers. An excellent blocker and superior special teamer is hard to pass up in the sixth round.
Other Possibilities:
Jay Prosch, FB, Auburn
Tyler Larsen, C, Utah State
DeAndre Coleman, DE/DT, California
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.
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
Beau Allen, DT, Wisconsin
Alfred Blue, RB, LSU
Matt Hall, OT, Belhaven
