Going Commando Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 6 hours ago, Skinsinparadise said: Judging by early buzz, there might be more in play in this draft as for the front 7 from Bama than last year. DT, OLB, MLB the whole gamut. Their defense looks stacked but their offense is ridiculous this year. They're going to score 40 points a game. They have future first rounders at every level of the offense for the first time I can remember in the Saban era. They're going to be really hard to beat. Might be the most well-rounded Saban team yet. Still got to get it done on the field though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 - My early take on this class is that the five best players are defensive linemen: Oliver, Lawrence, Bosa, Gary, Ferrell. Each of these guys is special in some way. None of them have quite put it all together, but their potential is elite. - I like Dalton Risner the most out of the offensive linemen. - I like Damien Harris the most out of offensive skill position players. Bryce Love is outstanding too, but I like Harris's running style the most. Unlike the grinders and sub package guys Alabama has been churning out and making look good the past several years, Harris looks like a potential star NFL RB to me. Love does too though. David Montgomery is a good player and he plays hard in the passing game but he's slow. His ceiling will be the second round. - Not super impressed with the top receivers. Anthony Johnson looks the best to me but he's playing against guys who can't tackle him. Doesn't look like there are any other well-rounded outside weapons at the position. - Looks like a strong linebacker year. No one is as good as Roquan was last year, but I think a couple will go first round and a bunch will go in the second. TJ Edwards looks like a fringe first rounder. Instincts look pretty good but not special. Play strength looks good. Tackling looks great. Coverage is a strength. Hands are ok. Catches the ball well though. Closing speed is pretty good but not elite. You wish he had a little better balance. He's not a fluid, explosive downhill force like Roquan was. But we're not likely to see another Roquan for a few years. I really like Mack Wilson and Anfernee Jennings. Wilson is a blue chipper and Jennings is a king sized enforcer with a nose for the ball. He's big for an NFL stack linebacker. He'll be able to play on the outside too. I see a second round pick in him and Wilson has a good chance to go in the first. Devin Bush is really good too but he's short. Probably too short to go in the first round. - For DBs, as others have said, Greedy Williams and DeAndre Baker are very impressive. I see elite traits in them and if they have good seasons I can definitely see them going top ten. - I don't really like any of these top QBs yet. Maybe they'll shine this season but to me this looks like a weak year following two strong classes in '17 and '18. There are no Baker Mayfields and DeShaun Watsons in CFB right now.

Going Commando Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Best to focus on the players rather than positions on the Redskins. You can spin your wheels forever trying to figure out the roster needs and it won't matter at all in April. My initial impression of Dalton Risner is that he's a classic dancing bear OT who has good quick twitch speed and light feet and a good build for the position. Columnar body with vine arms and the belly is not sloppy. He's built just like Scherff. I don't know that he has the functional power that Scherff had as a senior at Iowa though. He moves his feet a little better than Scherff did though. Playing style is clean and active. Aggressive punch and he plays like a leader on the OL, looking to set the tone for the other guys. Pretty good anchor in pass protection but I wouldn't say elite. Very nimble run blocker who can get pretty far out in front of plays. Has no trouble reaching the wide rusher. Not really a power driver like the kid from Alabama. Bottom line for me is he's a high quality OT prospect with the speed to hold that position down, and that if he has a good season again, he will probably go top ten.

Area51 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 We need an Edge rusher with speed. That should be #1 priority.

He's 6 "5 but at 300 pounds that's undersized for an NFL LT but I read he put on some weight on in the off season. Miller mentioning length I presume he's referring to his wingspan might be more suited to guard. I haven't paid enough attention to formulate an opinion on him but If I go to Saturday's game I'll pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemoveSnyder Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 David Edwards (#79 | RT) RsJr David Edwards had a steady, ok game. Still kind-of waiting for him to be dominant in all phases, rep after rep, which I haven't seen yet. He had one called false start penalty in the 1st half, and a second false start, not called, in which he moved early on but was flagged on the center. Edwards also botched a delayed blitz pick-up in which a LB slashed to his inside and sacked the QB, Hornibrook, as Edwards laid prostrate on the ground watching it unfold. His size and frame are undeniable, though. And for what he may lack in twitch and redirection, but more specifically staying balanced over his feet, which is not a pronounced negative attribute, nonetheless noticeable, his sheer length can overcompensate. He'll bail from his balance point and reach, nose over toes, to push a passrusher wide on the edge. And he's got the length to do that. So he'll diverge from pure technique and rely on genetics. (*Footnote about the Northern Illnois kid's footwork inserted here*). Counterpoint to that Edwards has got decent straight line speed and quality first step to explode outward. So, certain negatives are mitigated with positive physical traits. Just a huge human being. More than a few times I was able to easily imagine that an NFL team might try him on the inside. One question mark in his game is whether he can handle pure speed, NFL speed, on the edge. Lesser passrushers that can't turn the corner will just be enveloped by his length and large mitts. And he handled strength on strength bullrush just fine last night. So, that's not an area of concern there. At the end of the day, his size and frame are just too enticing for any evaluator, particularly when it comes to trying to consistently fill the Tackle position. So, he's going to be selected early. There are however minutiae to go over. I thought Deiter disappointed last night, particularly so against lesser competition. On at least two occasions in the 1st half he was driven back on rollerskates from pure bullrush and on one of them he ended up on his fanny. That really stood out. Our lens of focus for the team in adding an interior o-lineman needs to start with plus attributes in both pass protection and run blocking. Have some real questions about physicality and anchor for Deiter moving forward. He was moved from LT to LG, not the most auspicious start. His frame really dictates that move, and that's where the NFL would use him. But you got to be next level strength to handle the inside in the NFL.
