2014 Redskin's Mock Draft

Round 2 Jason Verrett CB TCU
The debate here was either to address secondary or O-line. In free agency they brought in some O-line depth and a starter at the guard position. In the secondary they did nothing but to add a good teacher in Ryan Clark. So they need secondary help. The next question is safety or corner? After getting Phillip Thomas last year it would be logical they consider a SS. The problem is SS is weak with ready to play players in this years draft. Outside of Jimmy Ward, who will probably be taken in the 1st round there are no one who can start right away.

The Redskins need a corner/safety who can start. If Jason was 2 inches taller and 10 pounds heavier would be that unanimous number 1 corner.  There are some questions that he may be gone before round 2 but possible he slips do to his small 5'9 190 size. He reminds several of a Tyrann Mathieu  with his overall physical play and his ball skills..The Redskins lack a slot corner who has the ball skills to make plays on a ball. Pair him with Amerson and D-hall the Redskins CB look solid this year.
Round 3   Chris Borland ILB Wisconsin 
London Fletcher has retired and the Redskins bring in London Fletcher II. You read that right. At 5'11 245 he has Fletcher's small but thick body as well as the smarts to play MLB to improve. The most important skill is his flawless instincts that lead him to be a tackling machine. Not only does he mirror Fletcher but he a leader. 



Round 4 Jack Mewhort OT Ohio State 
They need O-line help but due to lack of picks cant afford to pick up a starter. This is a gamble on my part. He may go in round 2/3 but his skills are averaged and doesn't have much of a ceiling so some teams may not want him for the philosophy 4th rounders are players with potential.He would play RT and may be able to come in and relive Polumbus in a year.

Round 5  Ed Stinson DE Alabama
There is a glaring need on finding another end that can produce solid constant numbers. Stinston has a great push, solid speed and great tackling.  He can come in and immediately contribute on special teams and certain packages.

Round 6  Brandon Linder OG Miami
Big,tough,gritty,smart describes the O-line of most NFL coaches are looking for.Not only durable and experienced he fits in the power run scheme and can become a great mauler Overall solid technique. 


Round 7  Vinnie Sunseri SS Alabama
Reed doughty proved you don't need to be a great athlete to become a solid player in the NFL. You get a leader who a strong tackler but a AVG athlete. Similar to Reed doughty can provide depth to a team on special teams and some packages on third and short.
