2015 Draft Prospects... First Edition

[NYCskinfan82]

Some non first round players I'm looking at.

Eli Harold, Virginia OLB
Daryl Williams, Oklahoma OT
Jake Fisher, Oregon OT
Jordan Phillips, Oklahoma NT
Carl Davis, Iowa NT
Ellis McCarthy, UCLA NT
Terry Williams, East Carolina NT
Christian Covington, Rice 3-4 DE
Henry Anderson, Stanford 3-4 DE

Just a thought.

How realistic or unrealistic is the following starting offensive line:

Trent
Moses as LG
Corey back at center.
Long at RG
Scherff or Collins as 1st round draft pick at RT.

Cheapest way to get bigger faster without spending a ton in FA.

If Moses is athletic enough to play tackle he should be able to play guard and he is huge.

Lavau is a big guy but seemed to lack the drive off the ball his size would indicate.

Corey is small, but played well last year, stop gap for this year.

What if Cameron Erving from FSU is there in round 2? Would you draft someone like Scherff in the 1st and Erving in the 2nd to make our OL instantly respectable?

no, Scherff is probably going to be great, however early 2nd round is to early for Erving....and where do you project him playing ?

FWIW Jason LaCanfora predicted the Redskins would have 11 picks in the draft

I hope he is right

I think #5 pick is too early to take a RT...personally would draft a DL or OLB pass rusher with #5 pick. If they trade down in first all for taking a RT. McShay has Scherff high on his board but says struggle with pass protection and he would be better suited as a G. Likens him to Zach Martin, if that's the case no way at #5. But Scot will make the best decision I hope because that's all we ever have as Skins fans is offseason hope. Lol

JLC just gave us the kiss of death. We will probably have 2 picks now, the league will take the other five for deflategate because they can't punish the Patriots because Kraft sez so.

What are you talking about?

[keemarley]

Williams or Fowler at 5 would change this defense. Or trade back and grab Shelton or Collins. The talent isnt there in my opinion at other positions to go a direction other than Dline or Oline in the top half of the draft which'll make fans happy .

How would you guys feel about Marcus Peters at the top of the second?

[keemarley]

Yup, hes an Oakland kid just like Lynch. Heard early in the process some teams might hold that relationship against him. Seems like most of Peters' problems have come from being overly competititive. Think him and Breeland could develop into a top flight cornerback duo.

He doesn't seem so bad. If Marcus Peter is as good as they say, a corner tandem of Bashaud Breeland and Marcus Peter would transform our secondary.

[Meks]

Man.. That'd be a good pick for me at the top of round 2... No doubt..

Had a dream last night we drafted Bradon Schreff after we traded back in the first round...........also we traded for Andrew Luck somehow and gave him a ten year, 200 million dollar contract

Haha @ the Luck comment.

The more I think about this draft the more I think we should stay away from OLine in the first 3 rounds. I know this might get me killed on this board, but our top two picks should go to front 7 guys as that's where we'll get the best value unless one of those late first round dbs fall.

I really think Long and Moses will be servicable lineman. It's on our coaches and Qbs to put them in a position to look good.

We're all entitled to our own opinion. No one here is a personnel expert. We're all just fans with our own opinions. However, I disagree with you about Long and Moses. I was never really high on Moses coming out of college. After watching him in limited snaps. I'm convinced that this guy will be a average RT at best. He couldn't beat out Polumbus or Compton. That should say it all. Spencer Long might turn into somebody. At this point, I really just don't know. He couldn't be any worse than Chris Chester.

I have concerns about both of these guys. They couldn't outplay Polumbus, Compton, and Chester. Both of these guys have had serious injuries thus far in their young careers. I'm not sure if Moses is going to be available for training camp. When these guys did get a chance to see the field neither one of them were impressive. I don't have any confidence in these guys.

The OL is just as important as the front seven. The offense will only be as good as the offensive line. Last year we couldn't run the ball without RG3 in the line up. Our OL in below average. The only way we're going to be a good line is if we put some good players on that OL. The pretenders that we have on our team right now will not get it done.

With that being said, I have no problem with investing the first three picks in the front seven. However, I don't believe for a second the guys we have right now on our OL is good enough to get the job done.

Great points. We'll have to see how it turns out. I think the problem with Moses was fans viewed him as a day 1 starter. I don't think the staff ever anticipated that. If we're truly going to build through the draft we have to give our staff some room to coach up players and give those players time to grow. Whether or staff is competent is a whole other discussion haha
