waterwagen Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 35. Washington Redskins Pick acquired from the N.Y. Jets The pick: Roger (Rocky) McIntosh, OLB, Miami (Fla.) Scouts take: LaVar Arrington is gone, Warrick Holdman is inconsistent, at best, and Nic Clemons shouldn't be playing an every-down role. That makes outside linebacker a clear need, and Washington did well to add McIntosh. He doesn't have great size, but he has the quick feet to slip blocks in space and has sideline-to-sideline range. He also has excellent closing speed, so look for aggressive defensive coordinator Gregg Williams to blitz him early and often. Insider 2nd Round Evaluation As a side note, anybody see anything wrong with that analysis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailYeah Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think we have our 1st and 2nd down WLB and a good special teams player in Rocky. Chris Clemons will be our 3rd down specialist at WLB/DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Once he learns how to shed blocks, adds a bit of muscle and gets a bit more rounded in his skills, he should be our starting WSLB for a few years. I'd love Marcus Washington to take this guy under his wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that I've read about McIntosh says that he is decent in coverage, and would hence make a decent 3rd down LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyal2Washington Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Really? Everything that I've read about McIntosh says that he is decent in coverage, and would hence make a decent 3rd down LB. Not really because in 3rd and long we usually go into a nickel, so one of the three LBer's sits. Lemar and Marcus aren't leaving the field unless they are injuried. Clemons(Chris for the ESPN crew) replaces Daniels on third and long making him a pass rushing DE, so if the D is successful on first and second down Rocky will come out. :dallasuck :gaintsuck :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdlives Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Scouts inc. evaluation. They list him as 6th best OLB overall, with an 86 out of 100 grade and 49th best player in the draft. Strengths: A physically gifted and versatile LB prospect that peaked as a senior. Possesses a very good combination of height, weight and speed. Has adequate bulk and room left on his frame to get bigger. Has long arms, a wide wingspan and impressive agility for his size. Also has very good straight-line speed for his size. Is at his best working in space versus the run. Does a good job of slipping blocks and pursuing. He is a sideline-to-sideline run supporter who also makes a lot of plays in the backfield. Shows very good initial quickness and closing burst. He is a solid wrap-up tackler in space. Shows good speed and closing burst as a pass rusher. If he can improve his pass rush moves he can be an impact pass rusher in the NFL. He has upside in coverage because of his wingspan and speed. He has a great work ethic and is an intense player. Excellent production and experience on special teams. Weaknesses: Lacks ideal overall strength and plays with too narrow of a base. Does not show explosive upper-body power, either. He does not like to take on blocks and will occasionally take himself out of position by running around blockers. Takes too long to disengage and must improve his hand usage. Still has room to improve in terms of his recognition skills in coverage. Better in man-to-man than he is in zone coverage. Has had some durability issues in the past. Knee in 2003 (missed opener vs. La. Tech) and shoulder in spring of 2004. Overall: McIntosh redshirted in 2001 and was a part-time starter the next two seasons (2002-'03) before taking over as the team's starting SLB during his junior season in 2004. McIntosh finished second on the team with 111 total tackles as a junior. He also has 13 tackles for loss, four sacks and three passes broken up. McIntosh started all 12 games as a senior in 2005 and finished with 89 tackles (team-high), 10 TFL, 5.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries and on forced fumble. McIntosh is a versatile prospect with experience at all three linebacker positions. He was bothered by a lingering shoulder injury in 2004 but still had a productive season and he continued to make positive strides as a senior in 2005. McIntosh still has room to improve in terms of his upper-body strength and ability to take on and disengage from blockers. However, McIntosh has the physical tools to develop into a solid starter in the NFL. He played more SLB than any other LB position in college but he has the frame, athletic ability and speed to play any or all three spots in the NFL, and we think his best fit will be at the WLB position. He also played a great deal on special teams while at Miami and shows a lot of promise in that facet as a pro. In our opinion, McIntosh warrants second-round consideration as one of the top-10 overall linebacker prospects in the 2006 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themurf Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 At least he named a Clemons on the roster, I guess. He could have said Roger Clemens ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVarGreen2856 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Carlos Rogers has proven his worth, and now Rocky will... I'm very happy about this and I have a lot of confidence in GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 wouldn't it be awesome if Nic Clemons at 6'6 and 275 could run like a linebacker and have that kind of sideline to sideline quickness playing MLB for us? :laugh: this defense would REALLY be unstoppable if that was the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
