[url=http://www.theredskinsclub.com/vernon-davis-jersey/]Vernon Davis Jersey[/url] , it’s looking more and more like Jay Gruden will remain as head coach of the Redskins for 2019. What changes are made to his staff are still up in the air, however. One thing is for certain; the Redskins need help on both side of the football this off-season. With salary cap room projected to be pretty low, the team will likely have to count on their draft picks to play major roles in 2019...and beyond. Gruden, in a recent article by ESPN’s John Keim, was quoted in saying the following:So let’s break this down...As Gruden eluded to, and many feel the same way, one of the strengths of this team is the offensive and defensive lines. When healthy, these units can compete with anyone. We do need to find a starting left guard, but we can do so with a mid-round pick or a free agent signing. Before the injuries started piling up, this team was 6-3, and heading towards double-digit wins. The loss of Alex Smith deflated the team, and Jay mentioned that quarterback, going forward, is a bit scary. No one knows what Smith’s future holds - apparently not even the head coach, and I assume by Gruden’s comments that the team is not comfortable going into the season with Colt McCoy as the starter for any significant length of time.The other comment that also stood out is the need for “playmakers” on offense. I think every Redskins fan can agree that this team lacked a dynamic, go-to playmaker. Jay has said before that his offense runs through tight end Jordan Reed [url=http://www.theredskinsclub.com/daron-payne-jersey/]Da’Ron Payne Jersey[/url] , but his availability is, and has always been, a major concern. The lack of offensive playmakers on this team was alarming, and needs to be addressed this off-season.Getting back a healthy Darrius Guice will be a big boost to an anemic offense. He has the ability to grind out yards between the tackles, but he can also turn the corner and take it to the house. He’s an under-rated receiver out of the backfield as well, and should excel in the Redskins screen game, and provide mismatches against opposing linebackers in the open field. Where the team really needs help is at wide receiver. Paul Richardson was brought in to give the unit a much-needed deep threat, but injuries once again stole part of his season. Jamison Crowder is a free agent, and it’s looking more and more like he’ll be able to test the market, and land himself a big contact somewhere other than Washington. Josh Doctson is a bust. Argue all you want, but it’s true. 2019 should be his last season in Burgundy and Gold, and that’s only because he’s still under an affordable rookie contract. He should be no better than a 3rd or 4th option next season. The rest of the unit is comprised of all un-proven players. The draft offers some very interesting receiver prospects, especially in round two. The Redskins would be wise to sign a veteran free agent, and look to the second round to find a true playmaker they can develop on the outside. The “playmakers on offense” comment can also be aimed at quarterback. With the uncertainty surrounding a return by Alex Smith, the team may be in need of a new signal caller. The draft is not very strong at the position this year, but Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins [url=http://www.theredskinsclub.com/derrius-guice-jersey/]Derrius Guice Jersey[/url] , Duke’s Daniel Jones and Missouri’s Drew Lock are all expected to go in the first round. The Jaguars and Giants are two teams who may be looking to draft a quarterback this season, so it’s possible one of these signal callers could fall to pick number 15. Should that happen, and even if Alex Smith does end up returning, the Redskins could be tempted to jump at their next potential franchise quarterback. Finally, 2019 is shaping up to be a very solid tight end class. The Redskins always have uncertainty surrounding Jordan Reed, and it’s very unlikely Vernon Davis returns next season. The roster is void of young, healthy playmakers at the position, and this could be the year to improve that talent with a higher draft pick - maybe one in the second or third round. If Gruden’s comments hold true this off-season, I expect to see a lot of focus on improving an anemic offense by adding a few playmakers to his favorite side of the football. 2019 NFL Draft Scenario #1:Rd 1:Drew LockQBMissouriRd 2:Paris CampbellWROhio St.Rd 3:T.J.

He was a 3-star recruit coming out of Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, Arizona. Jelks signed his letter of intent with then Head Coach Mark Helfrich in 2014, after mulling many other offers from Power 5 schools, including Wisconsin, Washington, Arizona State and Nebraska. Jalen was productive during his time in Eugene as he was named to the Coaches All-PAC 12 Conference Team after his Junior & Senior campaigns.If he had anything working against him [url=http://www.theredskinsclub.com/geron-christian-jersey/]Geron Christian Jersey[/url] , it might have been his college coaching staff playing him out of position. They had Jelks take the majority of his snaps lined up as a 3-4 defensive end, while weighing in the 250’s.......Ya, that wouldn’t fly in the NFL. He is a guy that will need to transition to a 4-3 defensive end or a 3-4 outside linebacker. The good news is that he has the speed, flexibility and skill set to do so.After his time with the Ducks came to an end, Jalen received an invitation to play at this years Senior Bowl. Frequently during the week leading up to the game he drew praise from the announcers and regularly showed scouts what he could do when properly utilized. If anything, he sent the talent evaluators back to their facilities to put on more Oregon game film.StrengthsVery strong against the run and displays good range for a player his sizeDoes an excellent job of converting speed-to-power (watch him take Max Scharping to school at the Senior Bowl in the clip below)His hands are active and they often get effective placementCan both bend and get skinny when neededHas an ideal long frame, which could add more weight if necessaryWeaknessesNeeds time to develop on the edge as he was playing out of position at OregonWill need to add more functional strength in his lower half to regularly win his match-ups at the next levelHis ability to shed and get off of blocks will have to improve to be consistently effectiveCould stand to add more pass rush moves to his repertoireLet’s See His Work:How He Would Fit The RedskinsThe Redskins will without a doubt be in the market for help at edge come draft time. They let Preston Smith walk in free agency and really only have one bonafide starter in Ryan Kerrigan. Ryan Anderson and Cassanova McKinzy are just depth guys and probably won’t be counted on to start, barring injuries. I absolutely anticipate that the Skins will use one of their premium picks (1st or 2nd round) on an edge defender, however I do have suspicion that this is a position at which they may double down on in the draft. It would be of no surprise if the team turned around and picked up a second edge player on Day 3.Enter Jalen Jelks. Given the depth of pass rushers in this draft class and his lower sack totals from college (again, this could be very much be a product of playing out of position at Oregon) he will likely not hear his name called until after Day 2. While I wouldn’t want to walk away from this draft with him as our lone edge rusher selected, I do believe he would make a great complimentary piece and give the team quality depth at a position of need. As a rotational guy, he would have the opportunity to hone his pass rush technique while providing the team with solid run defense.He is not a finished product, but he would make for an excellent edge project for the Skins. We’ll see what happens very soon.Stay tuned Skins fans.
