Round 3

Andre Cisco, FS, Syracuse – 6-0, 210

Do we need to remind you of the poor play from Washington free safeties in recent years?  From Adam Archuleta to Bacarri Rambo and Troy Apke, the free safety position has been an audition of the worst of the worst.  That can change very soon with the addition of Andre Cisco.

Draft analysts have rated Cisco anywhere from an early second-rounder to an early fourth-rounder.  He is likely an early third-round prospect.  A true ball-hawk with good coverage skills, but takes poor angles against running backs closer to the line of scrimmage.  Playing away from the line and coverage schemes fit Cisco perfectly.

Tamorrion Terry, WR, Florida State – 6-4, 203

Tamorrion Terry is somewhat underrated by many analysts, but he will not last past the third round and the WFT could snag him at this juncture of the draft.

Terry has very good 4.5 (estimated) speed for a big man.  He had a breakout year in 2019 and demonstrated big-play capabilities throughout the season.  He can gain many yards after a catch (YAC) and is always a threat to haul in a long pass and romp 20, 40, or 60 yards for a touchdown.

A solid red zone threat.  Able to stretch the field for an offense.  Good route runner.  Terry needs to work on dropped passes — that is an issue —  but he is a very good value selection in Round 3.

Charles Snowden, OLB, Virginia – 6-7, 235

Charles Snowden is very tall for a linebacker, but don’t let the lanky frame fool you.  He is a solid defender that is able to shut down running backs at the point of attack in any game.  Snowden is decent in coverage, but he could use a bit of improvement.  He is able to cover tight ends and slot receivers effectively in zone coverage schemes, especially on shorter passes.

Snowden’s impressive length often disrupts quick slant passes.  He can bite too heavy on head and body fakes at times.  Once a few deficiencies in coverage are corrected (and most of it is easily correctable), Snowden should become a solid addition to the linebacker corps.
