With Fitz on board, first couple of picks, I want some elite athletes that start and impact day 1. Even a TE too soon is borderline conservative, IMO. Understand, UK. For me though...you know I'd go with it. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Jenkins without ideal arm length but at least he's at 33.5 unlike the slew of 32 inch guys in this crop. I like Darrisaw over him. But Jenkins would be a lot of fun -- monster run blocker with a mean streak. Played RT but I think he can play LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 One thing I remember about Leatherwood is watching a bunch of his Senior Bowl 1-1 practice reps and I was unimpressed. He looked pretty stiff and slow and got smoked multiple times in drills, especially vs speed rushers. I think that really hurt his stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Skinsinparadise said: This time, I know who we have as the starter, but he's going to compete with everybody else," said Rivera, talking for the first time about Fitzpatrick's signing. "I want to play the guy that's going to give us the best opportunity to win, the best opportunity to grow and develop as a football team." It's also still possible that one of Fitzpatrick's competitors will be a rookie selected later this month. Though Rivera played down the need to draft a quarterback, sources have consistently said since the Fitzpatrick signing that Washington would like to draft a quarterback. It wants to have a young, talented passer to groom -- and it's possible the team won't take one with the 19th pick but perhaps in the second or third round, according to a source. "Picking where we're picking, there are a lot of things that can happen," Rivera said. "We have targets, we have ideas, we have guys that we like, but that always changes just because of the fact that everybody has a choice. You just never know what's going to happen at that point." However, Rivera said there is no pressure to take one now. Washington could opt to bypass a quarterback, focusing more on building the roster, and try again next offseason. In 2011, Rivera's first draft pick in Carolina was quarterback Cam Newton, taken with the top choice. But, Rivera said, it took four years to surround him with the necessary talent. That also happened to be the year Carolina went 15-1 and reached the Super Bowl. Rivera said they might have to take a different approach in Washington. "I've always thought if you can do it the other way, where you put all the other pieces around and then go out and get your quarterback, that might be a pretty good situation too," he said. Washington attempted to trade for Matthew Stafford and explored other quarterbacks, but Fitzpatrick was always on its mind; in his 20 starts with Miami, he threw a combined 33 touchdowns to 21 interceptions. Washington likes how his experience will help younger players on offense develop. "There are a lot of positive things about having this type of guy around," Rivera said. "When I was in Carolina at one time and we had to compete against him, you always sat there and go, 'Gosh, this guy -- there's something about this guy.' It's going to be intriguing for us to see exactly how it unfolds and how it fits with us." https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2021/insider/story/_/id/31165378/nfl-mock-draft-2021-todd-mcshay-predictions-all-64-picks-rounds-1-2-plus-where-seven-qbs-land That interview of RR is posted in the FO thread, just listened to it.

Last year, when he was rumored to consider coming out, many had him over Jedrick Wills. He went back, and now he's like OT6? OT7? Dude was a Top 10 guy before the season and from what I can tell, his play didn't fall off in any way? That's an unfortunate misleading narrative that I'm not sure how it became prevalent. There was some hype for Leatherwood in 2019, mostly because he was the LT while Wills was the RT at Alabama. But that's about it. Haven't watched him this past season, but I've read he's gotten better in 2020. Back in 2019, he struggled with speed. Like majorly struggled.

mistertim Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 JT O'Sullivan's QB rankings. He really seems to like Mond. Has him above Fields and Lance. Also has Wilson above Lawrence. His list is identical to Chris Simms and he seems to be goofing off a bit in this video so I don't know if he's just messing with Simms or that's actually his list too and he's just being goofy.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Rashod Bateman's size has been exaggerated. He came in a bit over 6'0 and 190 pounds. He said this: "Now everybody's questioning my weight. The thing is, I've never played over 200 [pounds] before, and I never have been close," I think there's a real chance Bateman is in play for the WFT 2nd rounder. Is it weird that I'm finding our 2nd round pick more interesting than our 1st? #19 is only interesting in so far as it's a Trade Back versus the likely weighted BPA of OT or LB. Our 2nd rounder seems like it can go in any direction possible, from prospects ES loves to even a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Lawrence had previously said he didn’t want to play for the Jets... So what if it’s Fields, Wilson 1&2 and Lawrence goes to SF? I mean there’s no shot that happens but hey, senseless tweets are fun to fuel some speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
