The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

The Washington Redskins inked first-round receiver Josh Doctson.

The No. 22 overall pick was one of six Redskins draftees to sign their deals on Monday. Safety Su'a Cravens, defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis, quarterback Nate Sudfeld, linebacker Steven Daniels and running back Keith Marshall also signed their rookie contracts.

The 6-foot-2 Doctson was a semi-surprise pick for a Redskins squad deep at receiver, but general manager Scot McCloughan insisted he went with best player available on his draft board. The rookie wideout adds to the cadre of weapons surrounding Kirk Cousins. Given the quarterback's physical limitations, providing as many diverse targets as possible will aid Washington's attempt to repeat as NFC East champions.

With Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson entering contract years, Doctson adds insurance if either or both of the veterans are let go in the next 10 months. Doctson, Jamison Crowder -- who impressed as a rookie -- and tight end stud Jordan Reed provide the Redskins a solid pass-catching foundation for the future.

Lloyd Carrington, CB, Arizona State: He didn’t start playing football until his senior year of high school so he’s only played corner for four years. He transferred from Pitt to Arizona State after his freshman season. Carrington was a full-time starter the last two years and was named a captain last spring. He also earned awards for his work ethic. Carrington started 29 games and intercepted three passes in college.

Below is a review of Steven Daniels who is good at the run and plays in front of him but doesn't have the speed to cover backs and TE they are saying. Daniels ran a 4.8 40 but he decides quickly which makes up for lack of desired speed but Cravens was drafted for 3rd down passing situations at the very least. Both are linebackers but who is to say Cravens will not play safety. I think he could for sure.

However, in Washington, he’s unlikely to have to do that. They drafted Su’a Cravens in the second round to fill that role. Daniels’s coverage responsibilities will likely be limited to underneath zones in the Redskins cover-three base scheme. He shows a good feel for zone coverage and can play the hook-to-curl zones that an inside linebacker is responsible for in cover-three.

Redskins draft USC’s Su’a Cravens in second round to add play-making ‘dime linebacker’

I'd like to see him at safety. I think he would be a good one but I'm just repeating what the article said he was drafted as.

Speaking on the attributes that drew the Redskins to Cravens, coach Jay Gruden said, “There’s not a lot of things he can’t do. He’s a play-maker. When you’re talking about defensive football nowadays, you want to find guys that can do multiple things, and be versatile in what they do, and figure out ways to get the ball back for your offense, and he’s one of the top guys at his position. … He’s got position flex, he’s a turnover machine, he can contribute on special teams, obviously, he can play in the box at linebacker, we think he might be able to play some safety. Once we get him in the building, we’ll figure out where to put him on the field.”

I was mistaken on that. Only eligible receivers have to report now.

Not exactly true. I never said "report as an eligible receiver."

I think the pass rush will be there with Kerrigan, Galette, Preston, Bates. It's stopping the run that has me concerned.
