Open Thread: 2011 Senior Bowl - Which Player Will Be a Redskin in 3 Months?
by Kevin Ewoldt on Jan 29, 2011 2:00 PM EST
in Open Threads
When: 4PM EST, Mobile, AL
TV: NFL Network (Comcast - Channel - 624, DirecTV - 212)
Coaching Staff: North (Bengals), South (Bills)
Roster: List of all the players here.
Here's the list of known Redskins interests. Keep an eye on them.
Scout Draft Profile - OL, Gabe Carimi, Wisconsin
by Kevin Ewoldt on Jan 28, 2011 11:47 PM EST
in Redskins 2011 Draft
Note: Open Thread for Senior Bowl game will be live at 2PM.
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 327 lbs
Arm Length: 35.5
40 time: ~5.12
Games: 48
Projected Round: 1 (Late)
From all the Senior Bowl tweets and reports I've filtered though this week, Gabe Carimi is a name I've come across regularly - in a good way. The Badger played all four years at Left Tackle, but has been seeing a lot of time at Right Tackle this week and even some at Guard. Scouts are predicting that because of his questionable footwork, he'll certainly be a Right Tackle, which Carimi himself even confirmed in one interviewGuard (no chance he plays Guard) . I'll let the news clips speak for themselves:
Carimi said he learned three different types of zone blocking at Wisconsin and feels comfortable in a zone scheme. He's also a pretty smart player and is only four credits shy of a degree in civil engineering.[Redskins Insider]
Senior Bowl Draft Report: Brandon Fusco, C, Slippery Rock
by RVAparks on Jan 28, 2011 3:44 PM EST
in Redskins 2011 Draft
Sticking with the obscure offensive lineman theme, I thought we might take a look at another guy that could be beneficial to grab in a late round in April. I admit that I haven’t seen much of this guy, but I’ve been keeping my eye on him this week in practice and look forward to seeing him in action this Saturday.
Brandon Fusco is a 6’4, 300 lbs Center out of Slippery Rock. He is the first player ever from "the Rock" to earn an invite to the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine.
Brandon Fusco of Slippery Rock is one of the more interesting small school prospects in this game. Sixty (60) different scouts made their way through the western Pennsylvania school this season to watch Fusco practice. The Miami Dolphins, San Fransisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings were teams that made multiple trips to see the center. –DraftInsider.net
Senior Bowl Prospect: Danny Watkins, OG, Baylor
by RVAparks on Jan 28, 2011 12:00 PM EST
in Redskins 2011 Draft
I’m mostly profiling this guy because he has a cool background story, but he could also be a good fit for the Skins. Danny Watkins is a 6’3, 310 lbs Offensive Tackle from Baylor, but he will switch to Guard to play in the NFL, and he’s been soaring up draft boards lately. Watkins grew up in Kelowna, British Columbia where he played hockey and rugby in High School; he was also a part-time firefighter for the community. In 2007 Watkins enrolled at Butte College in California, where he decided to take up football. He quickly took to the game and was named a JuCo first team All-American in 2008.
Pros...
Any player that can take up the game in 2007 and become a bookend tackle in the Big XII is pretty impressive in my book. By all accounts he is a vocal leader and an extremely hard worker. He’s squatted 570 lbs and benched 425. Last May he was selected 4th overall in the CFL draft by the British Columbia Lions but decided to stay at Baylor for his Senior year (good choice Danny!)

Pink Slip Time: Jim Zorn Canned as Ravens QB Coach
1.) I guess we now know why he was looking for other jobs.
2.) This makes the Redskins look real good, you know, since we made him a HEAD COACH.
3.) Another reason to post this.
A Formula For Drafting QBs That Works: Rule of 26-27-60
by Kevin Ewoldt on Jan 27, 2011 2:59 PM EST
in Redskins 2011 Draft
The Redskins need to draft a QB. There's no doubt about it. All of the circular-logic banter this week on the QBs reminded me of an article I came across last year involving a formula for evaluating Quarterbacks. It's called the Rule of 26-27-60.
Here is the gist of it: If an NFL prospect scores at least a 26 on the Wonderlic test, starts at least 27 games in his college career and completes at least 60 percent of his passes, there's a good chance he will succeed at the NFL level.
QBs that have passed this rule: Sam Bradford, Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Kyle Orton, Kevin Kolb, Matt Ryan, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Matt Stafford.
QBs who did not pass this rule: Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, David Carr, Heath Shuler, Jimmy Clausen, Jay Cutler, Joey Harrington, Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, Tim Tebow, Alex Smith (1 game short), Jeff George, and Vince Young (horrible Wonderlic). Yes, these are all huge busts but were all VERY high (or projected) 1st rounders.
Exceptions: Brett Favre (22 Wonderlic), McNabb (14 Wonderlic), Matt Leinart - who at USC played over 30 games, 35 Wonderlic, and threw over 63% all three years. Aaron Rodgers averaged 63.8 completion percentage, 35 Wonderlic, and 26 games (1 game short). Ben Roethlisberger scored a 25 on the Wonderlic (1 point short) but easily had the number of games and high completion %. Josh Freeman met all the rules except completion % at KSU (59.1%) - so close.
So how do the top, 2011, NFL QB prospects measure up to this rule? Stats after the jump...

Here's multiple 60+ yard passes from (then) Freshman QB Colin Kaepernick to former Redskin WR Marko Mitchell (#4). Ah...what could have been. Fast Fwd to 2:22 and 3:33 marks.
