The 2019 “Plant Your Flag” Thread


e16bball

Recommended Posts

It’s the eve of the draft, and that means it’s time to “plant your flag” and stake out your territory before it all plays out. It’s your chance to go on the record and make your surest predictions and prognostications, so we can look back and see who “called it.”

Feel free to share any predictions you feel really strongly about, but some possible topics would include:

Which player should/will the Redskins take?

Which player should the Redskins avoid?

Which player is going to be a steal/bust?

Which player will a team reach on?

Which player is in store for a draft day slide down the board?

What is a player/team pairing you’re sure is going to happen?

Who will end up as the best at their position in this draft?

Will any QBs from this draft be stars?

Which position will we look back and say was especially strong/weak in this draft?

Which team will make the biggest draft night splash/be the consensus post-draft “winner”?

Which player(s) in this draft is destined for the HOF?

 

It’s all fair game. All the bragging rights are at stake — because if you haven’t “planted your flag” on it in this thread, then you didn’t CALL IT!

I'll plant my flag! 

1)QB Drew Lock will be the best QB in the 2019 draft. I guarantee it!

2)The Redskins will draft NOT 1, but at least 2 WR's over the course of this 3 day draft. (Rounds 1-7)

3)The Redskins will NOT trade up in the first round.

In fact, unless Haskins or Lock are there at 15?

I guarantee the Redskins will trade down. They will NOT select any other position @15 unless it's those 2 QB's.

Even if Bosa slid to the 15th spot! That's how certain I am about their plans.

How's that for planting a flag? 🏁

Biggest splash = Redskins trade up for Haskins w/ Jets. Post draft Winner = Jets bc they acquire Burns w/ our pick, a 2020 1st and our 2019 2nd

Awesome that you guys answered all the suggested topics, but just so everyone else knows, that’s not necessary. Even if there’s only one or two things you’re totally certain of, throw it in there and get credit for calling it once it comes to pass!

I’ll have a list of a few of mine in a bit.

My other predictions/thoughts:

  • Montez Sweat will be available for the Redskins tonight
  • They should take him
  • I'd also be happy (though less so) with Brian Burns, Devin Bush, or a trade down
  • If they get stuck at 15, I could live with: Greedy Williams, Deandre Baker, Hollywood Brown, Clelin Ferrell, Jonah Williams
  • If they trade up any higher than 8-9 for Haskins, I really don't like that
  • If they trade up at all for Lock or Jones, I absolutely hate that
  • I think Rashan Gary probably has the biggest draft fall (also Daniel Jones, compared to where some have been talking about him)
  • I think Christian Wilkins will go higher than many thought (also a S will go in the top 25, maybe Darnell Savage?)
  • I think Garrett Bradbury to the Rams is the most obvious team/player fit
  • Also Dexter Lawrence to the Chargers, Josh Jacobs to the Raiders, Clelin Ferrell to Seattle, and Devin White to TB
  • I think Jacksonville is the most likely team to move out of the top 10
  • I see the Ravens or the Seahawks moving up for a pass-rusher
  • I think Quinnen Williams is the most likely All-Pro/HOF player in the draft
  • Next tier would likely be Devin White, Josh Allen, T.J. Hockenson, Montez Sweat, and Jeffery Simmons
