NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

Eff this quarantine, I’m ready for the draft.

Tell me who your prospects you are watching for the Skins. Within the last week I’ve started to check up on the players and positions...making lists of guys who could be options in the later rounds after we take Chase Young in the first. Don’t come in here talking Tau or Burrow...I want to know who you like?

Couple of guys I’ve been checking out who could be there in the third and fourth rounds:

Cameron Dantzler- CB Miss St...solid, aggressive, boundary corner

[url]https://www.nfl.com/prospects/cameron-dantzler?id=32194441-4e76-4982-6dbf-ebb6876de452[/url]

CHASE CLAYPOOL - WR Fightin Irish- huge, fast...

Tyler Johnson -WR Minnesota- productive, route runner

[url]https://www.nfl.com/prospects/tyler-johnson?id=32194a4f-4871-1094-58d9-ca4ef7922f8c[/url]

Cam Akers - RB Florida State - this guy is way underrated.

ALBERT OKWUEGBUNAM- TE - Missou - I haven’t heard a lot about him til I started researching. His name I’ve started to see attached to us...he fast, up the seam pass caching TE.

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

Top 3 Selections for RD 1 for me are

1. Chase
2. Okudah
3. Jeudy

3rd round and beyond I just hope they take Needs (OL , TE ) Etc

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

I like Claypool, as well.

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

ND fan here. Claypool has all the talent to be good at the pro level. He has actually put on weight since his last season. Tall, muscular kid with long arms and good hands. Don't know that he's a bonafide 1 (potentially) but for sure a bonafide 2. Would love to land him and Thaddeus Moss in this draft. Olinemen after Chase primarily though.

If we are a primary zone team, I think Tony Pride CB Notre Dame would be a guy who could be late round CB target.

I def see him more a David Boston physical, big body type no 2 guy. The redskins met with big WRs at combine and senior bowl...Norv Turner preference was a big, talk WR in his scheme...that could be rubbing off on his son. Claypool fits that mold

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

I like WR Van Jefferson Florida. mature runs good routes hand catcher.

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

If Tee Higgins WR Clemson would fall to 3rd he is someone I would definitely consider...actually I think he would be the pick

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

[quote=Chico23231;1248804]If we are a primary zone team, I think Tony Pride CB Notre Dame would be a guy who could be late round CB target.[/quote]

I like him, too. He shows up on film and he is fast.

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

[quote=Chico23231;1248804]If we are a primary zone team, I think Tony Pride CB Notre Dame would be a guy who could be late round CB target.[/quote]Pride was solid at ND. Not spectacular but solid. Ran a 4.4 with decent size. Seriously he never gave up too many big plays and was consistent. Not elite. Seen a 3rd rd grade on him. Don't know about that honestly. Envision him more as 4th-6th rounder. He always played behind Julian Love's shadow mainly through his ND career.

Claypool fits that mold[/quote]He's not as muscular as Boston (few are lol) but seemingly taller. His length should serve him very well in the pros. Many thought he'd be a tight end honestly but too thin for that. Listed at 6'4" but plays taller due to long legs/arms. If dedicated, I could see him being a very good pro.

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

I really want to draft players that will help our offense be more physical. We became a finesse passing offense under Gruden. It’s embarrasing. Having an ustoppable physical smash mouth running game will help the offense and Haskins more than anything else. We have massive holes at OL, TE and FB. Big physical players please.

Just watch his Ohio St tape. The oline has been neglected forever and needs to be resolved now.

Everything Ron has done so far on the offense side of ball indicates a move to a running attack. Stacked legitimate depth with at Oline and gotten couple solid RB competition guys. TW issue needs to be put to bed and so we can sign someone at Tackle.

I would love another 2nd or 3rd rounder going into the draft. Honestly, I'd take a 3rd straight up for him. I imagine some team would pony that up for him. Just want the never-ending headache with him gone.

That's CRAZY imagine the potential of our front four. The front four will make the back seven appear to be so much better JMO.

Yeah, you'd think it would ... the potential of that front four has me pumped.

Is it some kind of Redskin PTSD to worry that if we trade back from that spot, and forego Chase Young at 2, we'll wind up screwing up who we ultimately choose?

I wonder if it's just safer to snag Chase Young at 2 this year, and slowly fill holes throughout our roster over 2 - 3 years .... then to trade back, and hope to do it faster, this year.

JORDAN BROOKS, LB Texas Tech

Another day 3 guy who can play...watch him close on the QB when the lane opens, that’s an instinct play Cole Holcomb struggled with all last year:

Joshua Jones LT Houston

This is a guy who needs some coaching and will be there in the second...could fall to 3rd round. If you trade Trent, you could draft Jones in the second and combo Donald Penn or Jason Peters to start this year given Jones an apprenticeship

Ezra Cleveland might be there in the early third round. He's a 6-6 311 LT from Boise State. He ran 4.94 twice at the NFL Combine. He has quick feet and long arms and he was excellent in pass pro in college.

[quote=EdmundDorf;1248837]Several reports I have seen have him as a 1st rounder, PFF have him as one of the top tackles[/quote]

Yeah, I wouldn’t be shocked, but I don’t think he’s a first round talent compared to the 3-4 guys in front of who could step in and play at a NFL level right now. He seems more like a second round guy, who may get picked more at the tail end of it.

Guys rise and fall.

Andrew Thomas, Tristan Wilfs, and Mekhi Becton are sure to be first round picks.

If we trade down I want Okudah and Thomas. Probably not possible. But that would be the only combination of picks that wouldn't make me at leased a little pissed we didn't get Chase.

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

Young, Simmons, and Okudah seem like the cream of the crop defensively for this draft. At this point, I'd be happen to land any of them with Young being my preference. Going to be ticked if we don't land one. I do feel some may not be valuing Simmons enough. Kid is a playmaker and is everywhere. Very fast, lots of tackles for losses and sacks. Kid is a stud from a bigtime program. A national title program with a stellar d. It will be interesting to see how all 3 of these kids pro careers unfold for sure.

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

Myles Dorn is my Jimmy Moreland draft sleeper of the year for 2020.

If we don't trade down any farther than #5 then we'll get one of them because #1 and #2 are almost certain to be Burrow and Tua. If I had to bet on it, I'd say that the players we mentioned will be the the Top 5 picked.

Here you go (from draft simulator):

WAS 5. Jeffrey Okudah CB Ohio State

WAS 18. Andrew Thomas OT Georgia

WAS 56. Adam Trautman TE Dayton

I looked at a couple mocks...you are correct, honestly a little surprised. Some mocks have 5 Tackles being taken in the first. I just don't see it.

There are a couple other Tackles like the Prince dude from Auburn. He is a decent player, but no way is he a top 50 player in the draft. Lotta teams reaching to get Tackle talent.

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

[url]https://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/players/playerpage/2179813/kj-hill[/url]

KJ Hill WR Ohio State

We have been linked to him and is a great route runner. He had a very slow 40 tho.

Seems like a late 4th round talent, many other WR id take before settling for Hill.

Don't worry, Chico, I've got the OT situation covered. Two players who are big, fast, with long arms who are excellent pass protectors.

LT Ezra Cleveland 6-6 311, 4.94 forty, great athlete from Boise State.

RT Jack Driscoll 6-5 306, 5.02 forty, quick feet, great balance from Auburn.

Your job is to get the additional draft picks so we can take them. That's why I like the idea of trying to get multiple 3rd and 4th round picks for Trent if we can't get a 2nd rounder. I mean, he's leaving so we need to get what we can and make good use of what we get.

p.s. Haskins would love these guys!

DEVIN ASIASI TE UCLA

Cooley said he really liked this guy’s game...this dude is pretty good after reading up and watching some highlights. For his size, the guy moves well. If he could get in better shape he would be even better. 5th round type pick...

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

Would get mad. But we were 3-13. Have to have a lot of bad to sink that low.

Daniel Jones is not better than Haskins. I think he'll be better than Dak this year too. Wentz will miss half the season. Haskins will be No. 1 or 2 by end of the season. McLaurin is the best WR in the division. That alone should get us up to No. 2. But again, 3-13 teams don't get to complain.

Just win baby!!

Re: NFL Draft Prospects Thread
 

QB - check, DH right now is unproven. Might rank Prescott over Wentz until Wentz actually completes a full seaso[B][/B]n
RB - check though hard to pick between us and the Eagles as nether has an established back
WR - WTF? Who exactly do the Giants have at WR? I'd rank them dead last not 2nd.
TE - check. What TE? We have nobody as it looks right now.
