First I decided to trade the Redskins 2nd round pick and any additional selections in 2020 to the Cardinals for QB Josh Rosen. I then decided to trade back in the first round to add some extra key selections to round out the Redskins roster.As always you can follow along with the draft here: https://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/sharedraft.php?d=bqybcv32: G CHRIS LINDSTROM Montez Sweat Jersey , BOSTON COLLEGE-This is not the flashy pick ost people are looking for, but Lindstrom is a strong combination of safety and upside. He has All-Pro potential and could give the Redskins the best offensive line in the league. He’s a plug and play guy, who will help both Rosen and the Redskins run game from day 1. Trade: QB Josh Rosen--Redskins have to address their QB need and if they can land Rosen for just their 2nd and a lesser piece or two next year they have to take it. Rosen had a rough rookie campaign, but the upside is there and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him have a strong 2nd season.56: WR PARRIS CAMPBELL, OHIO STATE-Redskins are desperate for weapons and that becomes an even greater concern if they trade for Rosen. Currently the Redskins receiver group is among the bottom 5 of the league. Adding a dynamic playmaker like Campbell would be an immediate injection into their offense. He still needs to improve as a route runner, but when the ball is in his hands good things happen. He can create big plays any time he touches it, and he should easily take on the number 1 role on the team. 76: EDGE OSHANE XIMINES, OLD DOMINION-Ximines isn’t the top EDGE the Redskins are hoping for, but he’s a guy who can be productive and offer the Redskins a quality option. Ximines is generally a raw talent, but he has a solid athletic profile and impressive first step. He should push for a starting role (or at least the majority portion of a platoon) as a rookie and and can develop into a full time player down the road. 96: CB ISAIAH JOHNSON, HOUSTON-Johnson is an impressive 2nd tier corner in this class who should go somewhere in the 50-100 pick range. He ran a 4.4 at the Combine and offers impressive size and length. He’s still developing at the position, but he would be a natural successor to Josh Norman in 2020.101: TE KAHALE WARRING, SAN DIEGO STATE-Warring is quickly rising up draft boards as a raw prospect, with the upside to be a number 1 TE for a team in a couple of years. He has really good size and impressive athletic ability. His technique and route running need some work, but he showcases himself as a natural pass catcher. With the Redskins keeping both Reed and Davis this year, they wouldn’t have to force Warring into a large role and could let him develop over time. 123: S MARQUISE BLAIR https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-terry-mclaurin-jersey ;, UTAH-I made a trade up into the 4th round to land a safety. With passing on a safety with some earlier picks, options were running thin on guys who can contribute. Blair has good athleticism and is a heavy hitter on the backend. While he wouldn’t necessarily start as a rookie, but he should push Nicholson for the role. Blair could carve out a solid amount of playing time as a rookie, and has the chance to start long term. 153: WR STANLEY MORGAN JR., NEBRASKA-Morgan is getting overlooked in this talented receiver group, but that could end up making him a steal in this draft. Morgan doesn’t stand out in any one area, but is solid across the board. He’s one of the safer receivers in this class and should quickly be able to contribute, both in the slot and on the outside. 227: OT TREY PIPKINS, SIOUX FALLS-Pipkins is a long tackle with intriguing developmental upside. He’s likely a long term project, which is why he will probably slide to the 6th or 7th round. While there is a chance he could make the 53 man roster, he might need a year on the practice squad. If the Redskins are patient with him though he could turn out to be s surprise sleeper.253: RB JALIN MOORE, APPALACHIAN STATE-While the Redskins are set at RB this year, that could change by 2020 with Peterson, Perine and potentially Thompson all off the roster. Moore is a solid RB prospect who is coming off an injury filled season. He’s the type of player the Redskins can probably stash on the practice squad for a year and hope he reaches his potential. Overview:This is the ideal draft strategy and class for the Redskins to quickly compete. Rosen gives them a young franchise QB, who already has had his growing pains. While he might not have the sophomore year of Patrick Mahomes, it wouldn’t be surprising if produced like Jared Goff did his 2nd season. To help out Rosen early the Redskins add a pair of high upside starters in Lindstrom and Campbell. Both should be key cogs in the Redskins offense as rookies and fill major needs. They also both can develop into top level players at their positions in future seasons. Stanley Morgan is another offensive player who should be able to help contribute as a rookie. While Warring is a bit more raw Womens Bryce Love Jersey , his long term upside is impressive and he could be the team’s top TE by 2021. Defensively the Redskins don’t land any studs, but Ximines should see plenty of playing time as a rookie. I see mixed results early on, but he has 10+ sack potential. Johnson and Blair should also both contribute as rookies and could be starters by next season. What do you think? If they trade for Rosen, would you then trade back as well?

He reached this mark by capping off his time in college with a 2.5 sack effort against the University of Hawaii in the 2018 Hawaii Bowl. This was good enough for him to pass the previous collegiate leader, former Arizona State alumnus Terrell Suggs, who had a total of 44 sacks.Before he was terrorizing quarterbacks at the FBS level, Jaylon was considered a three-star recruit coming out of West Feliciana High School in Saint Francisville, Louisiana. He decided to stay in-state and accepted an opportunity to play for Head Coach Skip Holtz at Louisiana Tech University. Aside from racking up more sacks than anyone else in college history, he also brought home many other accolades during his time with the Bulldogs, including All-Conference USA (all four years on campus) and AP All-American (2018).Jaylon received an offer to play in this years Senior Bowl and played well during the game, but he did not do much to separate himself from the other edge defenders in Mobile in the week leading up to the game. Due to a simple battery misdemeanor charge over four years ago, the NFL did not allow Jaylon to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine. While many scouts do not believe that this infraction will have a negative effect on his draft stock Wes Martin Jersey , he was not able to compete against other members of this draft class in Indianapolis. Instead, Ferguson had to wait until Louisiana Tech’s pro day to show off his athletic ability. The word coming out of Ruston, Louisiana is that Ferguson did not have a very good day. He showed average numbers for his position (4.75 40 time, 24 reps on the bench and a vertical of only 32 inches) and most rumored that he looked stiff for a pro athlete.StrengthsHeavy handed; has very active and violent pawsDoes an excellent job of converting speed to power Plays with good instincts and clearly knows how to get to the quarterbackDoes well in being able to get off of blocksHas the functional strength to set the edgeWeaknessesDoes not have great bend for an edge defender and often looks stiffCan be late getting out of his stance and can get too upright He appears to be just an average athleteNeeds to add more counter moves for the pro levelPlayed against subpar talent in Conference-USALet’s See His WorkHow He Would Fit The RedskinsThe fact that the Redskins will be looking to add a talented edge defender in the draft may be one of the league’s worst kept secrets. The team allowed Preston Smith to walk in free-agency, which has created a void across from Ryan Kerrigan. The Skins currently employ Ryan Anderson (a second round bust to this point) and Cassanova McKinzy at the position, but neither are starting material and probably shouldn’t be counted on for larger roles. So with a clear need, will the Redskins target Ferguson with one of their second day picks? Even though he has enormous upside and a knack for reaching the quarterback, many scouts have him pegged as strictly a 4-3 defensive end. With his limited athleticism, he may not be a fit as a 3-4 outside linebacker. While we do play in a nickel look throughout a good portion of games we should be seeking a prospect who can stay on the field as much as possible. If he can’t be counted on to drop into coverage (regardless of what his trainers think in the above clip) when we need him to, he would become just a mere role player for us. While Preston in no way exceled in coverage, he could get the job done more times than not. This squad has a history of taking 4-3 defensive ends and turning them (attempting too, anyways) into 3-4 linebackers, but I am not sure that this a trend that should continue. Not with all of the edge talent that fits our scheme in this deep defensive draft. Will Bruce and company see it that way next week?Stay tuned Skins fans.
