Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 1 hour ago, JohnC said: In today's sports section of the Washington Post it listed KJ Hill as a player that the Redskins would be interested in. The Skins best receiver last year was McClaren, a third round pick. Not only was he their best receiver but also was one of the leaders on the team. Their qb, Haskins, is also an Ohio State product. So this franchise is well aware of the talent on that particular campus. As long as they leave Dobbin for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 14 minutes ago, Formerly Allan in MD said: As long as they leave Dobbin for us. Dobbin or any of the other three or four top tier backs would be very appealing if available when our first pick comes up. But I don't see it happening because of the other position priorities, mostly on the defensive side of the ball (DE and DBs). However, I have been touting BC's AJ Dillon in the third if available. I think he would be a good complement to Singletary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He competes at the line, he competes on routes, despite being undersized for an outside corner he competes in the air. My view (and I took him in the TSW mock) is you start him outside in a press-man scheme and if his size ultimately gets him beat too often then fine, you have yourself a great slot.

He was born to play the slot imo. I wanted him to follow after Denzel Ward at OSU. Their DBs are so absurd and so well-coached. If he would have went there we’d be talking about him ahead of Arnette IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest red star is Joey Banks, safety UB. Likely a undrafted free agent, I believe Banks physicality and instincts will ultimately carve him out a role on an NFL roster. Where he should shine on special teams and possibly develop into a box safety with some good traits His physicality, awareness and nose for the football are all above-average and he was arguably UBs best defensive player last season Since he's supposed to be an undrafted free agent, Joey Banks is my biggest red star player How do you feel about LaDarius Mack as a UDFA/7th rd pick? I feel like he's worth a season on the Bills practice squad. His college career is undistinguished but he started to show flashes this year.

warrior9 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Cam Akers. He's a monster and is every bit of an NFL running back. I'm not sure how his ability and skill set / production is 3rd round. He had a down year last year after they lost a great coach and went to a terrible coach. I think he will end up being the best RB of this class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start with 4 day 3 picks each year. If over a 5 year period you hit on those 5 guys on day 3? The other 15 that are misses don't really matter. Just hit on 1 or 2 a year. I did like Matt Milano (the Bills best recent day 3 guy) as well although I hadn't watched enough of him to grade him fully. Just remember scouting Watson's game against BC and seeing the #28 everywhere flying to the football and thinking "yea that kid has a chance to be good".

If you're a late first-round pick and you become a perennial All-Pro or pro bowler And a scout was banging the table for you, you can definitely be a red star.
