Washington Redskins post-NFL Combine seven-round mock

If you trade one of your picks for Josh Rosen, then you have to make sure his offensive line is up to par. Rosen was under pressure on forty percent of his drop backs last season. Even for a quick processor like Rosen, the pocket duration needs to be substantially stronger in D.C.

Luckily for Rosen, and for the Redskins, the 2019 NFL Draft is very deep on the interior offensive line. Starting quality players can be found late on Day 2, and here, the Redskins take Texas A&M center Erik McCoy, a versatile player who’d be able to shift over to guard on Washington’s line.

McCoy posted an elite RAS at the combine, per Kent Lee Platte’s system. His 40-yard dash time of 4.89 was tops among lineman this year, and his 10-yard split of 1.72 was equally impressive. At 6-foot-3, 303, McCoy offers good size, and while his agility scores were lesser in quality, McCoy’s body of work at the combine is, in general, excellent.

The biggest thing for McCoy was the 10-yard split. There’s a strong correlation between a fast 10-yard split and success in the NFL. With a split of 1.72, McCoy fits right into that window. Chances are he could be gone at this point, but if he drops in a deep offensive line class, the Redskins would certainly be inclined to pick him here.
