Im starting to really like Cyprien, glad we are hosting him.

Safety Duke Williams is scheduled already for a visit. And as the article states, we attended a private workout in Miami for Brandon McGee.

What we hearing?

Re: Redskins Pre Draft Workouts/Meetings/Visits Thread
 

Definitely gotta put our #1 need at the safety position, and their are several good prospects in this draft. Hard to get super excited about a draft where your first pick is in the 50's but if we get 1 or 2 quality guys, and 1 or 2 back ups, that would be a terrific draft this year.

Let me put this out there as another possible praise of the FO. Good FO's don't just look at this year's draft, they look at future drafts (1 2 or 3 years out) and kind of match up needs/projected needs and draft classes. I don't think that last year when our need (as it had been for a decade) was clearly qb (our cupboard was bare) the draft was a particularly rich qb draft. This year, our safety cupboard is bare, and it is a very deep safety/cb draft.

Basically it seems like they let lesser talent (Beck, Williams) sink or swim in a year prior to a flush class, to see if the lesser talent can step up. I may be looking backwards and seeing it in a glass half full manner, but I think in terms of rebuilding, our FO has done a great job of managing talent, and draft positional availability.

This is exactly the type of guy im talking about when it comes to change of pace RB. Kick returner, runs the ball, and catches a ton of balls out the backfield. Thats an area we need to improve on, catches out the backfield. Get this guy in space, he runs 4.34...

What do you mean?

Re: Redskins Pre Draft Workouts/Meetings/Visits Thread
 

Per the college ball and draft gurus, are any of the discussed safeties likely to fall to us? And, do we trust any of them at FS as a rookie?

SS doubled posted. He was gone so long he forgot how this works.

Didnt know if you knew possibly more info on him, he's been moving up boards.

Ha. Whoops

I don't even see the VI and I listings

Re: Redskins Pre Draft Workouts/Meetings/Visits Thread
 

Does this really translate into who a team is targeting or is this a smokescreen? I mean it looks like the team is really interested in Swearinger but if he's there for the taking in the second round but, the team drafts someone else...

Whoops yeah the Washington examiner. I get it mixed up with the times. So who is the credible sports writer for the times if Keim and snider both work at the examiner?

That's it!

Re: Redskins Pre Draft Workouts/Meetings/Visits Thread
 

Imagine if the Redskins drafted both Jonathan Cyprien and Phillip Thomas. Both of them are ball hawks, big hitters, and both of them can play both safety positions.

Its nice to see FO have their eyes clearly set on taking secondary this draft.



In terms of "skins interests" how would we rank the guys they want?

My best guess:

1. Cyprian
2. Swearinger
3. Duke Williams
4. Phillip Thomas
5. The UConn Corners
6. Axford
7. Slay
9. Amerson
10. Banks/Brandon McGee

I would switch Duke williams with Swearinger; they've meet with Duke williams 3 times already (hell, I think that they've met with him more than any other prospect.

For all we know, they may have already secretly given Williams a playbook to help him get ready to start the season at FS. j/k.

Safety Jakar Hamilton

Re: Redskins Pre Draft Workouts/Meetings/Visits Thread
 

David Amerson is a good pick at 51. with proper coaching he can be elite.
