Bleacher Report:

173. Washington Redskins: Cole Holcomb, Linebacker, North Carolina

Strengths: Range, zone coverage

Weaknesses: Block-shedding, explosiveness

Holcomb was a tackle muffin for the Tar Heels, recording over 100 in both 2016 and 2018 (and 93 in 2017). He blew up at his pro day, running a 4.48-second 40 with other exciting results. He’s rangy, active and alert, but he lacks pop when attacking the line of scrimmage. I like Holcomb: He looks comfortable playing in space and pursuing, and linebackers who can play in space and pursue stick around for years in the NFL. This is a great selection for the end of the fifth round.

Grade: A
