2017 Draft Prospects

Sleeper FS Josh Jones ..... 100+ tackles and 3 interceptions...4th round- 1st pick

The New Orleans pick in the 4th

Would be great to find a free safety prospect in this draft...I hope we spend a pick of there.

Is Breeland moving to safety? I heard that this week. If he does, I gotta think he will be a FS type,esspecially if Cravens goes to Safety.

Id keep Bree in the slot unless if they decide to play more press man on the outside. I wouldn't move him to Free Safety at all.

Pencil in Cravens SS and Norman CB on his side as starters. Keep open the opposite CB side for Dunbar and Fuller competition. Breeland in the Slot and Blackmon as the incumbent FS and adding a FS draft prospect behind Blackmon. You probably could add a CB draft prospect as well.

As much as I want a pass rusher or DLine man I would not be upset if we could get a CB like Teez Tabor.
If he can start or become a first year starter then our secondary would be solidified especially if Cravens stays in the safety position.
That would make it easier to move Breeland to safety too.

I have been watching the mocks and highlights and really think that the value/need for us will be Budda Baker out of Washington at 13 or even a couple spots back if we can pull off a trade, he slots in immediately as your starting FS and Cravens at SS that would be a great combo. I just don't think any of the top flight D Linemen will be available there and anyone else worth taking with be there in the 2nd for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoXL6gsuFNs

Decent article on this draft, Why Redskins GM Scot McCloughan waited for the 2017 draft class | Redskins Wire (http://redskinswire.usatoday.com/2017/02/09/redskins-scot-mccloughan-knew-what-he-was-doing-waiting-for-2017/)

I think there was reason he got the extra mid round pick for 2017. This might be the reason, SM thought the 2017 class had better players or was a deeper draft.

Id keep Bree in the slot unless if they decide to play more press man on the outside. I wouldn't move him to Free Safety at all.

Pencil in Cravens SS and Norman CB on his side as starters. Keep open the opposite CB side for Dunbar and Fuller competition. Breeland in the Slot and Blackmon as the incumbent FS and adding a FS draft prospect behind Blackmon. You probably could add a CB draft prospect as well.

I would draft both SS and FS. You have to almost consider Cravens a project still, plus his rook year was injury ridden. Sorry, I just am not all in with Cravens yet. The 2016 class sort of was meh after all was said and done. Too many stud safeties in this draft, as well as CBs. I don't see why anyone would be satisfied with our defensive backfield sans Norman. IF Breeland can get his mojo back from 2014-15 we are OK at CB with an addition via the draft just for depth or to develop for later with Fuller.

On Redskin Nation Larry Michael just gave a list of all the Redskins draft picks in 2017.... "They have the 17th pick in every round " ... nope, is the staff totally clueless.

I think about 1% of his shows are worth watching
