The Skins know how to develop WRs but he has a tough job as they have a ton of WRs hes going to compete with. I hope he sticks, but could see him doing well and another team scooping him up. Numbers game.

Do you think the Skins were the first to offer and he jumped on it or that his agent thought it was the best fit for him?

They were either the first to offer or made the best offer. His agent was the one doing all of that leg work. Zach just had the final say.

I hope he gets cut in training camp, but immediately gets picked up by a more worthy team and thrives.

Quote:Toward the end of the seventh round, he began receiving calls from teams interested in signing him as an undrafted free agent. Thirteen teams called, said Pascal and his agent, Chris Coy.

“I got to choose between all the teams I wanted to go to,” Pascal said Monday. “The best option for me was the Redskins, which is funny, because it’s right here.”

It's interesting to watch the draft Round 7 as intently as I was. That was a new feeling. Another new feeling was just the hope one of the guys gets drafted, regardless of team. I was even rooting for them when it was the cowboy's selection... crazy.

Zach is 6'2 207. LaTavius Murray is bigger. 6'3 230.

At best, there will be one new Redskin receiver to make the team. 5 locks are Pryor, Doctson, Crowder, Quick and Grant. That means Zach would have to beat out a 6th Round draft pick Robert Davis and two other UDFA WRs (kids from Maryland and Louisville). Maybe he can do it with special teams prowess, but a 6th round draft pick gets a huge advantage over an UDFA for a roster spot. The player personnel guys who used a draft pick on him don't want to look bad.

A couple of pages or so ago you said 6th and 7th rounders were "crapshoots," and at the very least intimated there really wasn't any difference between them and immediately signed UDFAs. I wasn't aware that player personnel guys made roster cuts and certainly don't have the power to override who the coaches wants on their roster. In the Redskins glory days, Beathard got the players, Gibbs & Co. coached them. I agree the competition among receivers on the Redskins will be daunting, but Grant has shown little, Quick has basically been ordinary. I like Harris, an undrafted FA who made the club and had a couple of good games, but I think Pascal has a chance, at least at PS. My .02.

Quick and Grant are not locks for roster. Its also not just trying make the Skins but make an impression with other teams

That is very true. NFL players are always auditioning for the rest of the league. I am just wondering if any of the other 13 or so offers that he supposedly had had less of a long jam on the WR depth chart. I think Quick is a lock based on the money he was given and the track record. Grant could be beaten out. I am not saying Zach cant make the team but he will have to be a lot better than Grant and Davis and really perform on special teams. Practice squad might be the most realistic possibility.
