Ryan Anderson has the leadership and grit this team needs. On the field he's a player. Going to help no doubt.

Today's Redskins shopping list: RB in 4th or forget it. Another DL, someone on special teams.

 
 

Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks 5m5 minutes ago

Overall, Redskins defense is going to be better, but don't expect rookies to work miracles instantly. But Allen is a core player for 5 years

 

Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks 6m6 minutes ago

Talk of trading Matt Jones, but no new running back is worrisome.

 

Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks 7m7 minutes ago

Kirk Cousins is still here. Guess trade rumors are done. It's 2017 and who knows what afterwards. Colt McCoy is on standby.

Names I'm watching - Ryan Switzer, Chad Hansen, Jake Butt, Brantley, Big Stevie, Carl Lawson, Vincent Taylor, Desmond King.

 

 

 

The Redskins have seven picks Saturday: two in the fourth (114, 123), one in the fifth (154), two in the sixth (201, 209) and two in the seventh (220, 235). They have ammo if they want to trade up in a round or acquire picks for 2018.

Moreau calls himself a "physical press corner". Now that Joe Barry is gone, let's hope the standard formation isn't every CB 12 yards soft.

 

Or, as it's more commonly called, Cover 3.

Defense has improved, but only marginally. Neglecting the DT/NT position for another year renders the defense to nothing more than average.

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said the draft room was "very smooth. There were no issues whatsoever. We had our share of back and forth conversations." General manager Scot McCloughan was fired in March.

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said two attributes they sought on defense: attitude and size. He called both Jonathan Allen and Ryan Anderson "tough, physical players."

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

The Redskins selected Auburn corner Joshua Holsey with the 235th pick. Holsey switched from safety. At 5-foot-9, 190 pounds corner is a better fit. He suffered two ACL tears early in his college career but played all last season. He ran the 40 in 4.43 seconds.

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

The Redskins selected Louisville safety Josh Harvey-Clemons with the 230th overall pick in the draft. He left Georgia after two suspensions for smoking marijuana. He's 6-foot-4, 217 pounds so he has the size to be an enforcer in the defensive backfield.

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

The Redskins selected Georgia State receiver Robert Davis in the sixth round with the 209th overall pick. Davis is 6-foot-3, 219 pounds and runs a 4.44 in the 40-yard dash. Davis caught 67 passes for 968 yards. He led the Sun Belt in receiving yards per game (77.8).

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

Redskins sixth-round pick Robert Davis is cousins with Carolina linebacker Thomas Davis. Robert Davis said his cousins has always harped on "right from wrong" with him. "He's been in my corner the whole time," Robert Davis said. "He kept me motivated."

 

ESPN Stats and Information  

Robert Davis never topped 1,000 yards in a season at Georgia State, but he had at least 968 yards in each of the last two seasons. He also averaged 15.3 yards per catch and scored 17 touchdowns in his four-year career.

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

Redskins sixth-round pick Chase Roullier has a mechanical engineering degree. It's no surprise that he thinks his intelligence is a strength. "It translates well on the field. I'm able to think on my feet quickly and my play stays consistent," he said. "I think I'll do very well at center."

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

The Redskins selected Wyoming center Chase Roullier with the 199th overall pick. Roullier started at left guard, before switching to center in 2015. The Redskins needed a backup center behind Spencer Long.

 

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

Redskins fifth-round pick Jeremy Sprinkle was suspended for the bowl game after being caught shoplifting. He said, "It was a big disappointment for everyone around me, something out of my character. I learned you have to be the same person whether you think someone watching or not."

 

ESPN Stats and Information  

Jeremy Sprinkle never topped 400 receiving yards in a season, but he scored 10 touchdowns on just 60 catches over his final two seasons at Arkansas.

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

The Redskins selected Arkansas tight end Jeremy Sprinkle with the 154th overall pick. Sprinkle caught 33 passes for 380 yards and six touchdowns last season, but was suspended for the bowl game after being caught shoplifting. He's 6-foot-5 and 252 pounds and was considered a better receiver than blocker.

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

How badly did the Redskins want to improve their defense? Four of their first five picks have been on defense, the first time they've taken four defensive players in the first four rounds according to ESPN Stats & Information.

 

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

Redskins safety Montae Nicholson, a fourth-round pick, said, "I'm a physical player. I like to run and hit people. I'm pretty fast. I have range."

 

ESPN Stats and Information  

Montae Nicholson didn't get his hands on a lot of passes at Michigan State, but he tallied 169 tackles (4.5 for loss) in his final two seasons.

John Keim ESPN Staff Writer 

The Redskins select safety Montae Nicholson with the 123rd pick, their second choice in the fourth round. Nicholson is a big safety at 6-foot-2, 212 pounds and is best positioned inside the box. The Redskins needed more depth at safety, even with young players such as Su'a Cravens and D.J. Swearinger projected to start.
