taylor made Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 He was a combine beast. I really like this pick and he could contribute immediately for our weak EDGE depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 6’3” 250 lbs I’m assuming he’ll play linebacker for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I love it, we needed more depth at OLB. He’ll compete with the guy from my HS that played in am the AAF that we signed for the 4th OLB spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavar703 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Watched some of his highlights on YouTube and I really don’t understand how he made it to the 7th? His burst off the line is ridiculous and he seems to have some good pass rushing moves. Just doesn’t make sense to me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his height and weight could have scared some teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His burst off the line is ridiculous and he seems to have some good pass rushing moves. Just doesn’t make sense to me... Link I put up in the day 3 thread summed up as to why he was probably found in the 7th. Quote He can be clumsy in some situations and lose balance in close contact. He is not the best off the ball and sometimes is the last defender out of his stance. He has improved with his range and his pass coverage, but it still has a lot of work as he was only utilized for that purpose his last season at Oklahoma State. His biggest motion issue is lateral quickness and range laterally. Durability is a question mark as he went through a lot of injuries as evidenced by his sixth-year of eligibility awarded by the NCAA. That "last out his stance" is a killer. If he was last on a college line. Think how slow that makes him to pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely he’s on the practice squad this year. I think our OLB depth goes like this: ROLB: Montez Sweat, Ryan Anderson, Andrew Ankrah (maybe practice squad instead of on the roster) LOLB: Ryan Kerrigan, Cassanova McKinzy, Jordan Brailford (practice squad) Edited April 28, 2019 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganF89 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 he just signed his 4 years, after watching tape on this kid I believe he could be a steal! I think he can replace Cassanova if we decide to keep only 4. He was all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Ehh, he looks like a really good combine athlete. He definitely has an impressive burst and he can bend the edge to finish if you let him. And the effort is there. But he plays extremely high. And he doesn’t appear to use his arms/hands effectively at all, he basically just tries to run around blockers. When they get their hands on him, they control him completely — which is related to both of those issues. He also seems to struggle to change directions and redirect, again probably because he plays so high and without much knee bend. My take may be a little skewed because one of the games I watched was him getting dominated by Dalton Risner from Kansas State. Who is awesome. He reminds me of Jon Jansen, a true traditional RT in the best sense. And he even gave Montez Sweat some trouble, so there’s no huge shame in losing to Risner. But it was not a remotely fair fight, and Brailford will see a lot of tackles like that in the NFL. I’d be concerned that he mostly beat guys he outclassed physically in college, and won’t be able to offer anything against guys who are his equal or better athletes Okie State did an interesting thing with him where they lined him up over the center and basically just turned him loose to run toward the ball at the snap. That might bode well for him as a 3-4 OLB, in the sense that they clearly noticed what I did about him playing high and just tried to take the “3 point stance, hand in the dirt” thing totally out of the equation. He was very slow getting up out of the 3-point stance, so maybe playing standing up will at least allow him to get off the ball faster?

Huh, that's interesting. Because when I was looking over the roster last night, both Brailford and Kelvin Harmon are in a separate section of the team's roster (it's still true as of right now): https://www.redskins.com/team/players-roster/ (scroll all the way to the bottom) Didn't think much of it beyond "oh, I guess those two haven't signed their deals yet." But that's not the case so ... aroo? The other draft picks and UDFAs are in the main section of the roster layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
