NFL Draft 2019: What notes did the Redskins get for this year's draft?

The NFL project is over and the case notes are here. The Redskins were declared the first winners of the first round for their selection of QB Dwayne Haskins and OLB Montez Sweat. On the second day of the repechage, they granted Haskins' wish and awarded him one of his receivers from the Ohio State. WR Terry McLaurin joins a body of exhausted Redskins receivers.

The Redskins took part in the third day of the match with 7 caps and used each one to bring their total to 10 players in 2019. They were able to add one RB, two offensive linemen, one ILB, another WR , a CB and another OLB. . There were value choices and head scrapers for some people. But the consensus is that the Redskins had a very good draft on paper and the team improved.

Day 1:

Although some have speculated that they may have to trade to get Dwayne Haskins from the state of Ohio, Washington has stayed in 15th place and still has its type. Haskins completed the pre-project process as 10th in the PFF drafting group. With striking similarities to Sam Bradford, Haskins was fantastic in the short and intermediate throws in his only year as a college starter.

"To bring him here at 15 is an absolute flight; one of the project flights. He has many promises. " – Mike Renner, Chief Editorial Analyst, Pro Football Focus

Washington's second choice in the first round, which they traded by sending choice No. 46 overall and a second round in 2020 in Indianapolis, was not as well regarded by the PFF authorities. The former Mississippi State defenseman, Montez Sweat, number 46 in the general ranking of our board, is incredibly sporty but was not impressed by the success of the film.

Day 2:

Terry Mclaurin's production does not tell the whole story, as it was only part of a loaded body receiving Ohio state corps. He made a demonstration of speed and deep trajectories at the Senior Bowl and finished as PFF's No. 68 player in the category – almost 30 places ahead of teammate Parris Campbell.

Day 3:

Washington won what could be a big deal in the draft of former NC State catcher Kelvin Harmon at choice # 206 on Saturday. Harmon's production at NC State was not upbeat, but one wonders if he can split enough to win in the NFL. He ranked 81st at the last big PFF table.

A franchise quarterback (Haskins) and arguably the second best running back (Sweat) – who fell due to an ill-diagnosed heart – to replace Preston Smith after returning to Round 1. McLaurin may be the deep threat that Josh Docston was supposed to be and a shooter on special teams. RB Bryce Love threatens Derrius Guice after Guice has recovered from a torn ACL.

Daniel Snyder and Bruce Allen managed to cool all the pre-projected heat. They did not need to move to Haskins, a franchisee franchisee, and they awarded him two key targets in McLaurin – a former Haskins teammate at Buckeyes – and Harmon, an underrated man. Sweat was a deal with an exchange in the end of the first round. Love is a good hiding place behind Derrius Guice. It's the best course in Washington for years.

Rumor has it that the owner of the Redskins, Dan Snyder, would have taken over the project and would not listen as much to his coaches and managers as he should have done. It would not be the first time it would happen, but if it happened this time, that's fine. Here, do not panic – Washington has left the draft to him and got two of the best players in the overall standings of this class. Getting quarterback Dwayne Haskins with the General's 15th pick could make many enemy teams miss out for a long time – yes, Giants, we're talking about you – and adding the Mississippi State-rusher Mountain Sweatshirt With the choice of 26thoverall gives the team a really dynamic presence against Ryan Kerrigan. And I do not know how receiver Kelvin Harmon from North Carolina lasted until the sixth round, but the Redskins also caught up. For a team that has been too eager to find a flaw in the repechage, the pace change has been different – and very successful.

Sometimes the project is about getting lucky. This is the case when quarterback Dwayne Haskins slipped to 15th. To fill the need, Washington returned to the first round to bring another player into free fall with Montez Sweat. He can stand up and rush.

Washington has paired Haskins with Ohio State teammate Terry McLaurin, a quick receiver who does all the little things. A few years ago, some thought that Stanford's running back Bryce Love would be one of the top 64 picks. Then a ripped ACL killed his stock. If he is healthy, he offers Washington an unstable runner with a history of explosive games. This is a big risk, since Derrius Guice has his own problems with ACL.

The wide receiver Kelvin Harmons was a direct flight in the back of the sixth round. But it's a theme of these notes: Where was the corner half?

The injury to Alex Smith's leg last fall was extremely unfortunate. You probably forgot that the Redskins were 6-4 with a healthy Smith, then 1-5 after being injured. They could easily have won the NFC East, and the theme of the off season would have changed. This team has talent. Now, Washington has an expensive contract for Smith, and it is not clear when he will play again. This means that the quarter was the priority of this team.

Once the Redskins chose to trade their money against Veteran Case Keenum, we knew that the first round was a chance for owner Daniel Snyder and general manager Bruce Allen to target a quarter. So it's odd that everything that was said is about exchange … and Dwayne Haskins fell to the knees at number 15. As I wrote Thursday night, I love the form. Haskins has a chip in the shoulder and he is a player. He has never withered under the pressure of the Buckeyes and has been at his best in the biggest games. I'm excited to see what coach Jay Gruden and new offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell can do with him.

The Redskins then returned to round 1, dropping choice # 46 and a second-round pick in next year's draft to go to number 26 striker Montez Sweat, ranked # 12 overall in my board. Yes, it's a lot to give up, but I really like Sweat, which could have been one of the top 10 choices if it did not have heart disease that made it fall. I spoke to team members who had totally excluded her from their selection committee and to other representatives of the team who had placed her in the top 10.

After that, Washington focused on depth and there were names that seemed to me. Terry McLaurin (# 76) is a speed demon who, in my opinion, could leave early in the second round. And he already has experience with his teammate Buckeyes, Haskins. You probably know Bryce Love's runner-up, Heisman, in 2018, but he suffered a decline in 2018 due to injuries and tore his ACL in December. It could be a year of red shirt. Still, doing it at 112 is decent. Guard Ross Pierschbacher (# 153) and linebacker Cole Holcomb are strong players in the fifth round to form the team. Jimmy Moreland (# 227) has some physical tools to work on, although he will need time to adjust to the speed of the NFL.

After an eventful end to the season, this team is back on track. Haskins and Sweat, two of the 12 best prospects on my board, push this class above the rankings.

There is a lot to love here. Everything is so unlike the Redskins. They resisted the urge to ride or trade for Josh Rosen, stayed on the spot and got the quarter they wanted to Dwayne Haskins. One wonders about his mobility, but he is a talented smuggler and it would not be shocking if he was a beginner at Week 1. Pass faster than Montez Sweat will turn out to be a flight at number 26 if his health problems stemmed from a misdiagnosis. Getting Speed ​​WR Terry McLaurin in the third round helps, and using a fourth-round pick for half-inch Bryce Love is intriguing.

Preliminary reports from the nation's capital include a draft night train. The Skins not only avoided the media disaster, but they showed atypical patience and potentially left with two blue first-turn shredders in quarterback Dwayne Haskins and the OLB Montez Sweat. Maybe the only person who did not like this draft was the injured RB Derrius Guice, the second player from last year. But who can blame Washington for his new insurance policy Bryce Love? Even late picks like fifth round C, Ross Pierschbacher and sixth round, Kelvin Harmon, could contribute early and often.

The fact that they were not forced to pick up Haskins was a huge plus. His arm is alive and he has the ability to distribute the football in all parts of the field. Given Alex Smith's bleak future, finding Haskins in 15th place could change the game. Finally, Washington traded against Sweat, who will do better if his heart condition does not stop him from realizing his potential. They really needed depth as an outside linebacker, where Sweat fits perfectly. I'm not usually thrilled to give up second-round picks, but this guy's talent is worthy of such luck.

Haskins' arm and McLaurin's speed will team up to make big games in Washington as they did in Columbus. If Love's explosion can come back in the next year, Washington will find a powerful contributor to the game of running. Martin and Pierschbacher respond to a major need in the Redskins' home offensive line. Brailford is a hedge that was worth near the end of the repechage.

This sound you hear is the seat of sizzling Jay Gruden. Washington went on the attack with five of his top six picks, including quarterback Dwayne Haskins with choice 1 (15th overall). Gruden is an attacking wizard, and if that wizard did not have immediate magic, owner Dan Snyder (who some say was behind Haskins' choice) could quickly say it's the right time to summon new coaches. You can bet the possibility that this scenario has already unfolded in Gruden's mind. He knows that the pressure to play Haskins will begin with the first interception of Case Keenum, or even the first failure of Keenum. Gruden also knows that Haskins is a project that needs to be refined in its balance and accuracy. It's a hard point for a coach, but it's life in the NFL.

Giving Haskins a familiar target like Terry McLaurin was wise. The addition of Bryce Love in the fourth round of play leaves us with a stump on Derrius Guice's health, last year's second-round pick, whose rehab after a torn ACL last August was delayed. Perhaps the Redskins, who have been serving writers for nine years, consider love as a valuable asset, knowing that he was taken away before the team met his needs the following year. more immediate, the left guard. This was done by choosing Wes Martin, who will compete with ex-Giants flamboyant tackle, Ereck Flowers. The more agile zone blocker will get the job.

As for the choice that did not make the offensive, Washington came back to turn 1 to seize the rash dynamo Montez Sweat, victim of a heart attack. The hope is that Sweat will correct the deficit on the right side, where Ryan Anderson has not moved in 2017 and veterans Preston Smith and Trent Murphy have been lost in attack each of the past two years.
