Skins Draft Round Up: Grading What's Been Done, And Seeing Who's Left

By Anthony McCree II

Wow!!  The first days of the 2015 NFL draft have been eventful haven't they! Day 1 for Washington started with Brandon Schreff, a pick I graded out as an A despite the fact that ultimately the decision was made to skip over Leonard Williams, DE , USC and there are questions on whether Schreff should be drafted so high because he's going to play RT or Guard in the league.

The next day, started with the drafting of Preston Smith OLB/DE out of Mississippi State.

He's 6'5 271 lbs, they should be able to move him all along the defensive front, playing him as a 3-4 OLB, he can play 3-technique, 5-technique, and even played NT at times in College and was successful no matter where they played him.

Grade:A-

In the 3rd round, they traded out of the 5th spot in the 3rd round and received Seattle's 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th round picks...Hell of a deal, especially, given the fact they still landed a quality player at the end of the 3rd round.

They took Matt Jones, RB, out of Florida. He's big, fast for his size, and has some wiggle in the open field, he's also a good pass protector and can catch out of the back field, the main knock on him is fumbling, here's to hoping he gets coached up well.

Grade: B 

Today, will possibly feature 7 more picks barring anymore trades resulting in either more or less selections (lets hope for more). Let's check out who are some value players to consider at key positions of need the rest of the way.

Wide Receiver 

Darren Waller, Georgia Tech, 6'6 235 lbs

A huge target who has the potential to develop as a very very good red zone threat, he has great body control, and can catch the football at it's highest point. At his size, he could even double as a move tight end.

Dezmin Lewis, Central Arkansas, 6'4 214 lbs

Another big target can go up and get the ball at it's highest point, He played well at the Senior Bowl, and has decent speed, proving so running a 4.46 at his Pro-day.

Inside linebacker

Ramik Wilson, Georgia, 6'2 237 lbs

An athletic linebacker who can play inside in a 3-4 defense or in a 4-3, good speed running a 4.62 40 at his Pro Day. He moves fluidly from side to side and was very productive against good competition in the SEC.

Center

This is a position that I thinks has some of the best prospects in the latter half of the draft at a position of need for the Skins. All these guys are

B.J. Finney, Kansas State, 6'4 318 lbs

One of the best Center prospects in the draft as a whole, plays with very good technique and leverage and is good with his hands.

Max Garcia, Florida, 6'4 309 lbs

Has natural power and upper body strength, can move defenders while also being difficult to move in the process. Is also extremely versatile, having also played Left guard and Left Tackle as well.

Shaquille Mason, Georgia Tech, 6'1 300 lbs

Power, Power, Power! One of the best drive blockers in the class. If he had the prototypical size of many who went before him already....he would have have gone before many of them. He played Guard in college, but again, his size will most likely dictate that he plays center, but I'd love to have him, he has some of the same traits as our first pick in the draft Brandon Schreff, he plays nasty, and wants

to "finish" the man in front of him.

Offensive Guard

Tre' Jackson, Florida State, 6'4 330 lbs

Daryl Williams, Oklahoma, 6'5 327 lbs

Mark Glowinski, West Virginia, 6'4 307

Tayo Fabuluje, TCU, 6'6 353

Jose Matias, Florida State, 6'5 309

Robert Myers, Tennessee State, 6'4 326


Defensive Backs

Josh Shaw, USC, 6'0 201 lbs, CB/S

Doran Grant, Ohio State, 5'10 200 lbs, CB

Durrell Eskridge, Syracuse, 6'3 208 lbs, FS

Deron Smith, Fresno State, 5'10 200 lbs, FS

Adrian Amos, Penn State, 6'0 218 lbs, FS

Ladarius Gunter, Miami, 6'1 215 lbs, SS/CB

Gerod Holliman, Louisville, 6'0 218lbs, FS
