Washington Redskins

Perfect draft pair: Temple LB Haason Reddick (Round 1, pick 17); Alabama DT Dalvin Tomlinson (Round 2, pick 49)

Jeremiah on Reddick: He's someone who can play off the ball on run downs, he can run sideline to sideline with all kinds of range and athleticism, and in passing situations, if you want to let him put his hand on the ground and go hunt quarterbacks, he can do that.

Brooks on Tomlinson: The Redskins have to get better at stopping the run. Tomlinson has been underrated throughout this process and is a rock-solid run defender. He helps this team get better because he can eat up blockers and allow linebackers to run and chase.

On the Move the Sticks podcast, former NFL scouts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks break down the latest news and action around the league from a scout's perspective, alongside NFL player personnel executives.
