Update on Amari...

Keim and Russell both tweeted out last night that a visit had Not occurred. So who knows what's true.

The fact that 'sources' inside RP have been so close lipped about things is a good thing IMO.

It'll be incredible if the Buccs choose MM. This guy used to work in the Buccs organization. Will be interested to see if it actually happens.

GM's history points to an edge rusher with Redskins' top pick | Comcast SportsNet Washington

Excerpt

John Keim of ESPN talked with some people familiar with the way that Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan operates in the first round. McCloughan’s patterns point towards him picking one of the top two edge rushers in the draft with the fifth overall pick.

It was surprising to learn that McCloughan, who is well known for his “big players win” philosophy, values speed over size in the first round. That doesn’t matter a whole lot when you’re talking about Florida edge defender Dante Fowler Jr., who has both good size (6-3, 261) and speed (4.60 in the 40 at the combine). But it could be good news for Redskins fans who like edge defender Vic Beasley of Clemson. He is a bit undersized at 6-3, 246 but he was among the fastest edge players timed at the combine with a 4.53 in the 40.

Interesting article. On a good note, Trent has been one of the picks who has lived up to his hype.

Thoughts on Drafting Offensive Tackles High In The First Round www.footballperspective.com Readability

Excerpt

We know that quarterbacks are tough to project coming out of college: it’s the most challenging position to evaluate, so we’re told, and quarterback production is so dependent on things like system and teammates. Wide receivers are notoriously risky, too, while running backs have become devalued in recent years.

So the default safe offensive pick high in the draft is at tackle. But that hasn’t been working out so well in recent years. Not only have there been a number of underachievers, but top picks have produced some of the league’s worst starting linemen.

Wow, Jalen looks really small vs Amari Cooper.

Fatal Flaws nflphilosophy.com Readability

Excerpt

When discussing draft prospects, it’s typical for scouts to speak in terms of overall skill-sets. It’s a familiar way to generalize a player’s attributes to fans without having to get into the minutiae of the evaluation. The problem is that within that hiding within that minutiae is something that scouts should be looking for: a fatal flaw.
