PCS Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Welcome to the Redskins young man. Have some fun and play well. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/terry-mclaurin?id=32194d43-4c27-8328-8097-b130ba0e8060 TERRY MCLAURIN OHIO STATE Senior HEIGHT 6' 0" WEIGHT 208 lbs ARMS 31 1/2” HANDS 9 1/8” Prospect Grade 5.61 CHANCE TO BECOME NFL STARTER Combine Results u-unofficial 40 Yard Dash 4.35u SECONDS Bench Press 18 REPS Vertical Jump 37.5 INCHES Broad Jump 125.0 INCHES 3 Cone Drill 7.01 SECONDS 20 Yd Shuttle 4.15 Quote Overview Wide receiver with good size, average tape, a strong showing at the Senior Bowl and a special teams pedigree. McLaurin is faster than quick, but he's a detailed route runner who leans on physicality at the top of his route to beat handsy cornerbacks across their face. He will need to improve his ball skills and body positioning if he wants to win contested catches on the NFL level. He has the talent to be an NFL backup and his talent as a gunner could help him see the field quickly on special teams. Strengths Adequate size and speed combination outside Quick lateral step and hand slap to beat press Routes offer some detail and signs of polish Good feel for leveraging cornerbacks out of position Crisp angles out of stems and breaks Physical at the top of his routes Finds open spaces in scramble situations Talented gunner with build-up speed and ball-tracking Ate up one-on-one matchups throughout the week at Senior Bowl *Click Link For More* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 We absolutely needed speed on offense. It can’t hurt that he already has chemistry with Haskins. Hopefully, he works out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmandu Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 All right, who the HELL is running the draft war room this year, and why has no major media outlet reported on him or her when they were hired? 😀 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickyJ Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Okay, I'm starting to warm up now, WR was a major problem. Still kind of is, but at least they aren't going to ignore it. I hope we get one with the next pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Again, Cowboys fans reactions lol... "Crap, McLaurin to Washington " "Redskins fans had no idea who they picked." "Skins crushing this draft" "Skins draft Haskins college teammate. Smart." "The kid can play. Speed, selfless, amazing special teamer. Steal pick" 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 The Redskins needed more speed and leadership at receiver. They got that in third-round pick Terry McLaurin from Ohio State. There are questions about some aspects of his game -- it's why he lasted to the third -- but he's a player coaches will love. He's detailed with his routes, can play inside or outside, plays special teams and is a willing blocker, too. Plus the receiver room needs someone who can be a leader. That would be asking a lot of a rookie, but he can eventually grow into that role. They would be wise to add a veteran who can help here, too. Otherwise the room will be lacking. It should help, too, that McLaurin played at Ohio State with new quarterback Dwayne Haskins. But the Redskins drafted McLaurin because he can play; that rapport with Haskins is a side benefit.

Skinsinparadise Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) That's a great video of Terry taking the call. Hoffman said in all his time doing post draft interviews Terry was the best interview he's had. He says he really has it together -- well spoken, thoughtful the whole nine yards. He's a 2 time captain, leader, some say will be the best special teams player in the league -- he's an elite level college special teams player. He has elite athleticism. People giving him a hard time for having "just" 700 yards for a team that didn't throw deep much -- (with 20 YPR and 11 Tds) and trying to make the case that the dude is a JAG is crazy IMO. But I've taken some arrows here and there for liking McLaurin well before we drafted him. So I am pretty well versed to take on his critics. So I'll likely get to exercise those muscles I presume some more going forward. 😀 Among other things, the dude was taken in the mid-third round. He was not projected as a late rounder as some say. At worst, they got him pretty much where most anticipated. Not that it matters. If I recall the hit rate on third rounders give or take is 25%. It's not the round where you get these mega productive killer receivers. Instead, you get guys typically with potential that you bet on. McLaurin to me is a good bet IMO. I'd add that especially in the later rounds you want high character overachiever types who I think are more likely to work to keep getting better. I'd add that the dude can block, too. Rare for a speedy receiver. You can play him outside and inside. Edited April 27, 2019 by Skinsinparadise 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Grades/Analysis: Sports Illustrated 76. Washington Redskins: WR Terry McLaurin It’s not often that a rookie QB enters the NFL with a familiar target, but that’s what McLaurin gives Dwayne Haskins after both played together at Ohio State. Washington does as good as job as almost any team at creating opportunities for receivers through design. GRADE: B USA Today 76. Redskins: Terry McLaurin, WR Ohio State Analysis: Terry McLaurin is a professional route-runner who flashed during Senior Bowl practices. He’s got long speed, but he’s not great in contested catch scenarios. The Redskins likely see him as a replacement for Jamison Crowder. Grade: B+ Sporting News 76. Washington Redskins: Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio State McLaurin (6-0, 208) shot up in the pre-draft process by showing off his speed and strong route-running. He remains a good physical target for his college quarterback, Dwayne Haskins. Walter Football Washington Redskins: Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio State A- Grade The Redskins were absolutely desperate for receiving help, so this pick makes a ton of sense from a needs perspective, and also as far as the range is concerned; Terry McLaurin was expected to be a third-round pick. McLaurin, who had a great Senior Bowl performance, has great character traits and will be able to be a big-time contributor on special teams at the very least. Pro Football weekly 76. Washington - Terry McLaurin Why not get Dwayne Haskins a reciever that is used to working with the new Washington QB? Durable with size, speed and toughness, McLaurin should compete for a job right away on a team that needs reliable pass catchers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
