Dwayne Haskins Jersey , when there¡¯s usually more bluffing than
calling.And with teams seeking to determine whether they¡¯ll be able to find
another quarterback in the draft, Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen remains the
wild card.According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Washington is ¡°not actively
chasing¡± Rosen at the moment, which likely means unlikely to pay what the
Cardinals are asking for him (if of course they¡¯re asking for anything at
all).Washington has basically brought in most of the valid rookie quarterback
options for visits (other than Kyler Murray), so the clear preference at the
moment is to find someone in the draft.Of course, that can all change as the
draft progresses, and teams jockey for position for one of the four (or five)
quarterbacks who could go in the first round. Hogs Haven takes a look at 2019

StatisticsPlayer OverviewZach Allen was originally committed to Northwestern
before he pulled his commitment and switched to Boston College because he wanted
to play closer to home. The 3-star prospect from New Caanan, Connecticut
received offers from Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and Harvard just to name the Ivy
Leagues so it should be no surprise that he received academic honors at Boston
College every year of his college career. On the field Allen has played every
position on the defensive line. After playing primarily special teams his
freshman year he set impressive benchmarks from himself his sophomore year. His
junior year he did what few defensive linemen have ever done and legitimized
himself as a NFL prospect when he was able to hit the 100 tackle threshold. This
past season he showed what a pass rushing force he is while showing off he
well-rounded he is in defending the run and creating turnovers. The big knock on
Allen was that many doubted his athleticism. He showed at the Combine that it
should not be much of a concern overall though he may fit best in certain
schemes. He is considered a borderline 1st round prospect.StrengthsGood size,
length, and athleticism for a defensive end prospect.Plays in a disciplined and
measured way. Aware of whats happening on the play. Rarely gets moved off his
spot or takes himself out of plays with erratic movements. Strong at
establishing contain on his side of the line. As a pass rusher he can generate a
lot of power from his lower body to help collapse the pocket. Can dip his
shoulder underneath the offensive tackle to help beat him and turn the corner to
pursue uses length to bring guys down.Hands are always active in the passing
lane and he can disrupt the vision and accuracy of the QB as well as cause some
deflections.Played everywhere on the defensive line. Consistent and high effort
player. WeaknessesAgility and quickness don¡¯t pass the eye test. Like our own
Ryan Kerrigan this guy could be a pro bowler but may never quite hit the next
level because of athletic limitations. Really tight and stiff in his lower
body.Has tweener size. Likely a better fit as a 4-3 base end but without the
twitch. Can fit in a 3-4 base but will have size concerns.Needs to improve
functional strength because of the above. Let¡¯s see his work:More Zach Allen

ought to make for an interesting dynamic in the Redskins front 7. A lot of
things point to Allen becoming a good player especially over time. He is
fundamentally sound. He doesn¡¯t have to come off the field in passing downs.
He¡¯s a smart and active player. While I can see him playing strong side
defensive end here with exception to Jonathan Allen the current Redskins DL
starters all came into the league with better measured functional strength than
Z Allen. The bench press is certainly no foolproof indicator of the strength of
a player but you can see after watching Allen how much more effective he would
be if this area was improved. Size might have also been a concern a few years
ago but at 281 he is 5 lbs lighter than Jon Allen. I think Zach could make that
work out. He plays with a really good football IQ and could come in and
contribute to the rotation immediately. His abilities would certainly help the
Redskins contain in the run game and he does bring a valuable dynamic as a pass
rusher as well. While it certainly would rub some people the wrong way to spend
another top pick on this position group the fact is that they are the identity
of the team and quite frankly their ability to remain healthy and fresh will
determine the overall success of the defense. Jon Allen and Daron Payne both
played at least 75% of the snaps last year on defense only two other pairs of
teammates did that last year (Suh and Donald | Myles Garrett and Ogunjobi re:
Football Outsiders). Other team defenses simply swap out their guys more
frequently than the Skins do (no doubt offensive success plays a role as well).
Another investment in the DL would only strengthen what is the identity and key
deciding factor in team success.
