Good value as an UDFA for Nixon. Some here don't like him, but he could be worth a look.

They were hoping to make better picks next year.

RJ Mattes may not be coming to DC after all. His Dad posted on twitter that the agent F'd up but trying to work it out. Said agent didn't get back to the Skins in enough time.

Any word on Ray Ray Armstrong ??

I think he has some character issues.

Ray Ray ran a 4.7 forty at the Miami Pro Day. So, I think he's going to have a tough time. I haven't heard of anyone else signing him yet.

2 from Troy and NONE from MD?? Tate or Francis? Come on Shanahan!

I kinda feel bad for him. I know he did this to himself, but can't help but feel disappointment for him.

:shock:

Guy probably looks like that stick bug character on Bugs Life. Sorry, I have a 3 year old and we've seen that movie 26 times this week.

Nixon might be interesting. I thought we would look at a right OT in the Draft but there were other BPA at several picks.

The kid RJ Mattes played LT, LG and RT at NC State. I think that he was probably slotted to play LT, the position he played for 2 years at State and also at the NFL Bowl game in LA. At the RT position I really think it's Polubus' job to lose. Maybe Pashos can come back or the kid from TB can resurrect his career.

Signed with the Rams

Not only has Dominick Reyes not been invited in yet, but he's not signed anywhere. 2 other guys from Stony Brook agreed to deals, the scouts must have missed his film. I am sure he's worth a look unless he's on the no-fly list or something.

Nixon is really intriguing. The only real knock on him I've heard is that he's lazy and doesn't play with passion...

That certainly sounds like something that can be fixed and is worth gambling on. Being given a chance to play football for a living, surrounded by passionate players who put football first, a division champion team... This could be a great environment for him.

Per the Washington Post:

The Redskins have added two offensive linemen, Utah center Tevita Stevens and Florida tackle Xavier Nixon; an inside linebacker in UAB’s Marvin Burdett; and two wide receivers in New Haven’s Jason Thompson and U-Conn.’s Nick Williams. The team also has extended a rookie minicamp invitation to McNeese State cornerback Seth Thomas.

Those moves are all according to the players’ agents. The team has yet to announce its signings, and more are likely to follow.

Here’s some information on each of them.

Stevens – a 6-foot-1, 307-pound senior who started four seasons for Utah. He started out as a right guard and didn’t allow a sack in 13 games in 2009. He then moved to center, where he spent the next three seasons.

Nixon – a 6-foot-6, 321-pound senior, saw time at both left and right tackle for the Gators, starting 33 of 46 games. He is considered to have top-level athleticism, but low-round consistency, according to one scouting report.

Thompson – A 6-3, 190-pound wide receiver, Thompson clocked a 40-yard dash time of 4.47-seconds in a pre-draft workout. He recorded 44 catches for 881 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2012.

Burdett – A 5-9, 232-pound inside linebacker, Burdett led the nation in tackles per game (13.08). He set a UAB single-season record with 147 tackles, and set a school record with 406 career tackles.

Williams – The 5-10, 184-pound Williams recorded 30 catches for 334 yards but no touchdowns as a senior. A standout return man, he averaged a U-Conn.-record 28.3 yards per kick return and also averaged 12.0 yards per punt return as a senior. Two punt returns went for touchdowns.

Thomas – A 5-foot-8, 194-pound cornerback, he recorded 42 tackles and three interceptions as a senior.

I'm hearing another lineman may be brought in. Still working out the details but it could happen.

We only have 10-11 roster spots open. We can't have signed even 1/2 of these guys.

Some of them are invited to camp for a tryout. Others are signed, but it isn't immediately clear which is which.

What's the limit this time of year?
