I guess if you state your opinion as fact it makes you feel more important? Or can you see into the future?

LOL

We'll have a 300 pounder playing safety. I dig it.

[Irrefutable]

The Redskins are looking everywhere for a NG including D3 Frostburg State. They met with Niles Scott a 305lb NG with 4.9 speed. And gaudy stats, albeit at the D3 level.

55 tackles- 17.5 TFL- 9 sacks

I think it's likely that we could see at least 2 off that list.
I'm surprised that they don't have Chris Wormley on that list though.

I am still trying to figure out what to think about not drafting a QB 2 years ago.

Don't figure too hard.

It seemed like I was the only one that thought it was mistake to completely pass on taking any QBs that year.

Lol, here's another question...... could drafting a QB in the 2015 draft changed how Cousin's contract was negotiated?

Yeah I'm surprised about Wormley too...

I figure we don't pick high enough to get Allen or Thomas...

2 or 3 of the following would be ideal for me:

McDowell (if Gregg Williams signs off on his attitude)
Vincent Taylor
Larry Ogunjobi
Monty Adams
Carlos Watkins
Elijah Qualls
Davon Godchaux
Tu'ikolovatu
Treyvon Hester
Jasson Jones

PFF Scouting Report on him:

Name: T.J. Watt

School: Wisconsin

Position fit: Edge defender in either a 4-3 or a 3-4

Stats to know: Went from 12 pressures as a sophomore to 56 pressures as a junior.

What he does best:

Closes extremely well in space. Great ability to finish plays.
Plays violently versus run and pass. Attacks pullers and kick out blocks instead of waiting for them to come to him.
Has good initial pop despite slender build. Won’t get moved off line of scrimmage on contact.
Impressive agility for his height. Allows him to win in numerous ways versus the run.
Long arms well and has numerous pass rushing moves he can transition off a bull rush.
Above-average burst off the snap helped lead to 10 sacks, 16 QB hits and 30 hurries on 279 rushes.

Biggest concern:

Light for the position though with the frame to pack it on.
Much of his production came unblocked or versus tight ends.
Only one season of production. Played 661 snaps in 2016 after playing only 174 snaps in 2015.
When an offensive lineman gets into his body he’s done. Gets locked up too tight often and couldn’t get hands off.
Scheme at Wisconsin put him in a lot of favorable blitz situations.

Player comparison: Willie Young, Chicago Bears

Neither Young nor Watt is eye-poppingly athletic, but both have more than enough to get by. They both use their leverage well for their height and have enough agility to keep tackles honest. Young has had a strong overall career.

Bottom line: Adding 10 to 15 more pounds of muscle could transform Watt into one of the top edge prospects in this class. He’s already got a varied skillset that dominates tight ends, but fails to translate versus tackles nearly as often. Given the progress he made in one year at Wisconsin, it would not surprise to see Watt continue to improve as he moves to the NFL.

Combine numbers: H 6'4" W 252 Arm 33" (long) Hand 11" (huge) Forty 4.69.

Personal observations: I saw him play a few times. I was impressed by his motor and his versatility. He played inside as well as on the edge. Some scouts see him as either an edge rusher or an ILB. He seems to diagnose plays quickly and he is a sure tackler. Ranked 47th overall by PFF.
