who could contribute to the Redskins"Jamel Dean Ryan Kerrigan Jersey , CBSchool: Auburn | Conference: SECCollege Experience: RS Junior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 6-1 / 206 lbsProjected Draft Status: 3rd RoundNFL Comparison: Daryl WorleyCollege ExperiencePlayer OverviewJamel Dean was a 4-star prospect from Cocoa, Florida who started his career at Ohio State. Dean who had suffered several knee injuries in high school arrived to Columbus ready to contribute but was medically disqualified by the Ohio State staff. It is the position of some of Dean¡¯s supporters that this was done because Ohio State had more player commitments than they had scholarships and thus Dean was pushed out due to this revelation. Its a claim former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer denies. The way the situation was handled really rubbed Dean the wrong way and he decided to voluntarily transfer from the program before he ever stepped foot on the field. Then in a cruel twist Dean injured his knee again and had to sit out the entire 2016 season. He finally started his college career for the tigers in 2017. When healthy it¡¯s clear that he is a talent at the position. He put together two impressive seasons at Auburn by way of impact and production. Where he really shined though was his performance at the Combine. He was able to post 40, vertical, and broad jump numbers that made scouts and coaches turn their head especially when you consider his ideal size at the position. With this year¡¯s WR class being dominated by height / weight / speed prospects it makes sense that some teams will get a height / weight / speed corner to match those abilities. Dean has starting ability and may prove to be a good value down the line. StrengthsExcellent size, speed, and length for the position.He can play press man coverage well and gets physical in the rep early and and often. Uses size, speed, and length to pinch receivers on the boundary. Has good enough burst and short area quickness to stick with receivers moving laterally as well. Balance, footwork, and change of direction skills are good he doesn¡¯t get shaken often shows good recovery skills.Takes his assignment out of the equation and makes the QB focus elsewhere. When he is thrown to he anticipates well and uses his length to make plays on the ball.WeaknessesGets swallowed by blocks and doesn¡¯t have the strength or technique to disengage. Doesn¡¯t offer much as a tackler. Would like to see a lot more effort as a tackler in in pursuit from him.Ball skills leave something to be desired. History of knee injuries.Limited abilities cause of the above will limit his ceiling. Let¡¯s see his work:More Jamel Dean videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsAs it so happens MockDraftable shows that Fabian Moreau and Jamel Dean are closely related due to their size and testing numbers. Moreau who was a press man corner coming out of college was drafted by the Redskins in the 3rd round of the 2017 draft. I think it stands to reason that the team may have Dean rated in a similar range. The question is if his grade will beat out others on the board when it comes time to pick (twice) in the third round. Of course his value, along with every other man corner on them team including Moreau may be limited because of the types of zone coverage the Redskins run. Dean has another thing against him with his finesse in run support and as a tackler overall. Still I think he could have some nice upside especially if he can remain healthy (which he has since 2016). He needs some time improving the nuances of his technique and will the jug machine but if he can become more consistent at creating turnovers he could be quite a valuable coverage corner though not well rounded. It¡¯s quite possible that the Redskins division rivals and the NFL overall will be getting bigger and more athletic at WR after this draft. The Redskins already have good size at the position but adding a guy like Dean couldn¡¯t hurt from a physical matchup perspective. If he¡¯s around in the 90s we just may see how much the Redskins like him. More salary cap voodoo"I got into a bit of a Twitter handbag fight last year or the year before.What happened was that a guy wrote a congratulatory comment about a player getting a ¡°win¡± for other NFL players by signing a new record-breaking contract.I made the point in reply that, when a player signs an above-market contract, he hasn¡¯t won a fight against the NFL owners, he¡¯s simply taken money out of the pockets of his teammates Vernon Davis Jersey , since the salary cap is a specific-sized pie; more for one player means less for the others.That guy kept arguing with me, which was fine.At one point, though, he suggested that I didn¡¯t understand how the salary cap worked, and I realized that he thought I was stupid and wrong, while I thought the same of him.It was the first, and will probably be the last, time I ever get into an extended argument via Twitter.This past week, I wanted to write an article about something (I forget exactly what it was), and I wanted to begin the article with the same argument; that is, that the salary cap is a specific-sized pie, so more money for one player means less money for his teammates.As I started typing, I thought of the first objection I was likely to hear in the comments: teams don¡¯t necessarily pay out the full salary cap.in cash this year.So, $31.1m in cash vs. $11.1m in cap space.The $20m difference is spread across the remaining 4 years of the contract ¡ª years in which his actual cash received will be less than his cap hit.When you put together all the players on all the teams across the league Da¡¯Ron Payne Jersey , the analysis from OTC says that teams are not paying out 95% of the cap, or even 100%, but that they are paying out more in cash payments to players than the scheduled salary cap limit ¡ª 101% of the cap, in fact ¡ª and no team is threatening the 89% minimum, with the Texans the lowest in the league, at nearly 93%.Because there¡¯s so much smoke and mirrors in the management of salary cap, it¡¯s easy to wonder if the CBA is accomplishing its goal of making sure that players are fairly treated and fairly paid.While Mark Twain famously pointed out that there are three great lies: ¡°Lies, damned lies, and statistics¡±, this particular statistic indicates to me that the CBA is working by making sure that, at least, the money that is supposed to be spent on players is actually being paid to them.
