Round 6, Pick 209: Joshua Dobbs, QB – Tennessee
Don’t believe some of the hype that Dobbs will go on Day 2 of the draft. If you have any questions about him then go back and watch his college film. With that being said, Dobbs is a nice developmental prospect. And he should go somewhere between the fifth and sixth round. For the Redskins and Gruden, Dobbs will bring good competition to the quarterback room for Sudfeld.
At times, Dobbs shows an excellent feel for the passing game. He goes a good job of going through his progressions and finding the open receiver on shorter routes. That would make him a nice fit for Gruden’s timing and rhythm-based offense. Down the field, though, Dobbs needs plenty of work.
As an athlete, Dobbs is terrific. He is also smart Cheap Johnny Townsend Jersey , hard-working and has plenty of experience playing in big games.
Dobbs makes sense for the Redskins this late. He has some upside and won’t have to see the field right away. Dak Prescott’s situation last year will make people look more closely at Dobbs, although Dobbs wasn’t the college player Prescott was. Remember, quarterbacks are judged much differently than anyone else meaning a player could be picked much higher than his draft grade suggests he should.

Round 7, Pick 220: Ben Boulware, LB – Clemson
Ben Boulware is the epitome of winning player. People assume Clemson was just terrific on offense in recent seasons because of Deshaun Watson and all those receivers Cheap Nick Nelson Jersey , but the defense was pretty good, too. And a big reason for that was Boulware. Go back and watch him play. He isn’t blessed with the most speed or power, but he is ferocious and relies heavily on his instincts and study habits.

A two-time first-team All-ACC player, Boulware was Clemson’s unquestioned leader on defense over the last two years. What Watson was on offense, Boulware was on defense. There’s a place for that in the NFL.
The question is what’s Boulware’s value?
Scouts will pick apart Boulware’s size, speed and short arms. The short arms can be a problem because of the length of NFL offensive linemen. Boulware is most certainly a Day 3 pick who will have to fight, scratch and claw to make a roster his rookie season. That’s right up his alley.
Washington needs more players like Boulware. The Redskins already have a similar player in Will Compton, a starter the last two seasons. However, Compton has yet to sign his tender and The Redskins could rescind it. Boulware can be a star on special teams Cheap Brandon Parker Jersey , too. Players like Boulware, bottom of the roster stalwarts who can help in a variety of ways, is how you build a winner in the NFL.

Round 7, Pick 235: Aarion Penton, CB – Missouri
The Redskins have yet to add to their cornerback group in this draft. In the seventh round, they do just that with Aarion Penton of Missouri. Penton, a Combine snub, is an experienced player who played four years in the SEC. Teams value that due to the level of competition in the SEC.
Penton is listed at 5-9 and 177 pounds. He has experience playing against slot receivers and could find a role immediately doing just that. He ran a 4.61-second 40-yard dash at Missouri’s pro day, which will affect his draft stock, too. Fortunately Cheap Martavis Bryant Jersey , playing in the slot sort of negates that, largely. Penton is quicker than fast.
The Redskins picked Kendall Fuller in the third round last year and played him in the slot. After a hot start, Fuller struggled. Washington still has high hopes for Fuller, but he is more suited to play outside than the slot.

Penton could come right in and compete. He had a good performance in the Shrine Game and impressed enough that he was given a chance at the Senior Bowl. Penton can play and some team will give him a chance. Corners picked this late — or go undrafted — can helps teams as a rookie. Brian Poole, of Florida, was undrafted last year and become a mainstay in Atlanta’s secondary through the entire season.
