dont know him

Another reach. Projected 6th . Starting to question these picks

Ehh...if they had to take someone from the U why not Gerald Willis

he's very fast (and started the turnover chain thing haha)

Yeah I'm a Miami fan, and never thought much of the guy...He has tackling issues and pursues at wrong angles...very inconsistent...but like the Browns like, his measurables must be awfully great.

CB/S depth pick? Played at both.

*cough* 4th round *cough*

I know we all want quality players. But I hope no one is really getting too upset or questioning Dorsey too much with our late round picks. If we walk away from this draft with 3 eventual starters (OBJ, Greedy, Takitaki), I think we'd all be pretty happy.

Probably so...and can help on special teams...I remember him on gunner.

looks like Peppers replacement

I like this pick

When you go over the career of 2019 NFL Draft prospect safety Sheldrick Redwine, his story should be considered a success before he even steps onto the field. Born and raised in Miami, Redwine lived out the 305 dream, playing both his high school and college careers in his hometown. Redwine even lined up beside former high school teammate Jaquan Johnson during the latter half of his collegiate career. Playing on a Hurricanes’ defense that was littered with stars, Redwine often got overlooked in favor of his colleagues. However, it’s evident that Sheldrick Redwine, a son of of Miami, could be heading to a spotlight all his own at the next level.

Based on his experience at corner, Redwine has the coverage talents to hold his own in either man or zone coverage. Possessing speed to make a play on the ball coming from the opposite side of the field, Redwine has excellent range that should translate to the pro level. With defenses in the pros concerned with passing threats out of the slot, you can count on Redwine to put up a good fight in coverage should they enter his vicinity. As is a requirement of most Hurricanes, the senior has a ton of confidence in any situation during a game.

What sets Redwine apart from the rest of Miami’s Draft Class is how he embraced the move from cornerback to safety in his junior year. He saw the move as an opportunity to reunite with Jaquan Johnson and the pair formed a formidable tandem as Miami’s starting safeties. Redwine possess the speed of a corner paired with the physicality of a linebacker, exhibiting attributes that you or I would apply to our created player in Madden. But when it comes to football played on an actual field, it’s Sheldrick’s IQ and instincts that make him stand out in this safety class.

In his first season as a safety for the Canes, Redwine put together a 59 tackle, 2.5 tackles-for-loss, six pass breakups and two interception season. Considering that he shared the field with Michael Jackson Sr., Jaquan Johnson and Trajan Bandy, Redwine more than earned acknowledgement among his peers based on his stellar play. As you’ll noticed in the Awards and Accolades, that respect or acknowledgement never manifested itself into any tangible hardware.

The one trait that we speak about, yet never measure, is pride. It’s an emotion that Sheldrick Redwine carries around with him from the Greentree Practice Field to game days at Hard Rock Stadium. It’s not just pride in himself, but his brothers on the team and the entire Miami program. It’s part of the reason why Canes’ fans lose all composure when you see No. 22 come down with an interception or a fumble recovery. When he’s walking back to the bench, as a fan you wonder what his message on the whiteboard will be this time. Whether it’s letting his Momma know that he loves her or telling detractors of the football program, “Don’t be a fan later.” If he didn’t have a promising career in football, he would assuredly have a career in marketing.


Whether messages to fans on the whiteboard count, Redwine is an excellent communicator in the back half of the defense. With the team opting to run combo routes, forcing Miami DBs to switch off frequently, having teammates in proper position is integral at any level of the sport. It’s one of the reasons why Redwine enjoyed a career season as a senior. Finishing the season with 64 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 3 sacks, 3 INTs and a fumble return, the safety shed the label of being just a system player from a potent Canes’ defense.

Now that Redwine embarks upon the next phase of his life, there are plenty of changes on the horizon. The safety could find himself for the first time in his career playing somewhere not in the state of Florida. Some draft analysts project Redwine working as a rover or “Big Nickel” DB to match spread formations popular throughout the league. It’s a role that will be new him as he makes the adjustment to the pro game. Of course, proving himself to new teammates and a new employer is a challenge all on its own. But if you’re one of the naive few who doubt the abilities of one Sheldrick Redwine to excel at a challenge, be ready to be greeted with disappointment.

A Cane through and through, Redwine has overcome every obstacle placed before him. Even though he could find himself in a new area, Redwine’s style of football translates to anywhere the game is played. For a child who began playing the game at five years old, Miami fans are proud of the progression that saw Sheldrick Redwine turn from college star to soon-to-be-ProCane

Pro Comparison
JJ Wilcox - Tampa Bay Buccaneers (More So in his prime with the Cowboys)

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com ironically compared Redwine with that of former Hurricanes’ safety Rayshawn Jenkins. For Miami fans, the similarity is definitely there. However, stepping away from the Canes’ connection, our comp for Mr. Redwine is Tampa Bay’s S J.J. Wilcox. In his prime, Wilcox was a downhill, paint peeling, hard-hitting safety for the Dallas Cowboys. Given Sheldrick’s propensity for hit stick moments, the similarities between the two physical safeties are there. However, we’ll give the edge to Redwine’s ability in coverage.

State of the U would like to congratulate Sheldrick Redwine on his selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.

IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT THE U!

but .. but .. but Dorsey doesn't use analytics

Depodesto and Hightower pick

The analysts on ESPN thought it was a good pick. They said he was a player who could cover TE's for what it's worth.

which is what we need

My guess is they were targeting Hooker, but the Titans leap-frogged the Browns and took him 3 picks earlier. Redwine was the next guy on the depth chart. Again, my guess.

I agree; Hooker may have been our pick

Turnover chain coming to Cleveland.

Has the measurables in the analytics department.

ANALYST'S REPORTS

Coverage - Experienced functioning in a variety of techniques including reps in man coverage. Has the size, strength and mobility to carry tight ends and bigger slots into space with adequate pattern matching ability. Zone awareness can be lacking, with inconsistency layering coverage and jumping routes to his area.

Tackling - Generally a good form tackler that aims low, wraps up and accelerates his feet through contact. Does well to arrive under control and balanced. Hitting power and contact balance is excellent.

Processing - Isn’t the fastest processor and his trigger can be tardy but he’s not often out of position. Zone awareness is modest at best. Would like to see him more aggressive to squeeze windows. Can be too willing to allow a reception and set himself up to tackle instead of disrupting at the catch point.

Ball Skills - Ability to play the ball in the air is hit or miss; doesn't always find it or get his head around in time. Ball skills are notably better playing forward than with his back to the line of scrimmage. Too cautious when breaking on the ball, often opting for the tackle.

Range - Covers plenty of ground playing forward and pursuing towards the sideline. Do not love his range as a one high safety. Does well to play off contact in pursuit. Angles are generally sound but there are times his trigger can be quicker and take a more aggressive track.

Physicality - Is a physical tackler that does well to wrap low and bring his feet through contact. Never guilty of playing passive when given a chance to be physical. Willing to take on blocks in space and exchange power with whomever crosses his path. Sniffs out run plays and quick passes well and works to the football with urgency.

Play Speed - Has good athletic ability for the position and he won’t often be out-athleted. With that said, his processing skills are often tardy and he doesn’t get ahead of plays. Would love to see him play more confidently to complement what he offers athletically.

Flexibility - Has good enough change of direction skills and fluidity in his transitions. Fairly springy when driving off his plant foot. Easy mover in space. Can turn tight angles and carry speed through them.


Versatility - Can play in the box and split zones. Not ideally suited for single high looks. Has upside in man coverage and should be a standout on special teams.

BEST TRAIT - Physicality

WORST TRAIT - Slow Trigger

RED FLAGS - None

Redwine started his college career as a corner before converting to safety in 2017 where his best fit at the next level comes. His man coverage ability is a major asset to his game, being able to carry tight ends and bigger slot receivers into space. Redwine projects most favorably to split zone duties but he can also serve as a big slot. Redwine plays a physical style of football and is a reliable tackler. While there is plenty of appeal with Redwine, he must speed up his processing skills, layer zone coverage more effectively and become more aggressive when having chances to play the football in the air to maximize his upside at the next level. He does have eventual starter upside and should be an excellent special teams contributor in the NFL.

Round Grade - Fourth Round Value
________________________________________________________
Some positives: has corner and safety experience. Best scheme fits could be man or split zone shemes. Sure tackler. Offers TE coverage ability. Another rotational piece for the secondary at this time with eventural starter potential. His flaws seem coachable.

I am not surprised by the pick ... We showed interest in him. A safety that can cover ... now that would be a welcome addition.

Range - Terrific long speed for the position, which shows up in the run game, but lacks the quick trigger and instincts to play to that speed in deep coverage. Very few plays on the ball or disruptive plays at the catch point, playing too deep to make an impact. Can work across the field from the opposite hash to make plays in the run game.

Ball Skills - Flashes of ball skills in zone coverage are really exciting, but far too inconsistent. Redwine has a couple college interceptions that showed exceptional processing, awareness and instincts in coverage, but then there will be long stretches of tape with no impact on the ball at all. Might be more anticipatory in an underneath role where he doesn’t have to worry about being the last line of defense.

Man Coverage - Has some burst to the ball in off-man, closing quickly to disrupt the catch point or lay the wood. Technique can be a little over-eager in press, getting grabby and off-balance against opponents. Converted cornerback, natural ability to flip and get vertical on slot fades.

Fluidity/Agility - A little stiffness in his transitions, but against bigger slots/tight ends he should be fine to match route breaks. Stays square and won’t get hasty in his footwork. Good angles in space and can re-direct well when running the alley, staying under control to navigate through trash to the ball.

Tackling - Generally good tackler who typically comes to balance, wrap up low and finishes. Has some odd moments of ankle-nipping that he cut down on this year, but needs to eliminate from his game. Mostly a physical tackler with good hitting power and form. Has had some huge, splash plays hits while forcing four fumbles in college.

Run Defense - Very good run defender with ideal physicality and play demeanor to play around the line of scrimmage. Takes very good paths to the ball and can work through trash and off blocks without getting overwhelmed. Runs the alley really well to fill on the perimeter, can be missile-like to line up runners working to the edge. Assignment-sound and much improved from his first year at safety in 2017.

Route Recognition - Has flashes of outstanding awareness in zone coverage, but they are few and far between. Rarely gives up splash plays and was much improved at executing assignments in 2018. Plays deep as a free safety and will be late enough to routes to secure sure tackles rather than impact the catch point.

Versatility - Lacks ideal traits to play a heavy role as a deep safety that will be impactful on the ball. Capable in a number of roles, but at his best around the box and matching up in man coverage with bigger slots. Can be most effect in certain defensive packages, and should star on special teams.

Competitive Toughness - Physical competitor who shows good effort in all phases of the game. Sets a tone with his physical play and is very eager to get into box work and mix it up in the trenches.

Athleticism/Size - Elite testing across the board. Length is a plus. Running in the 4.4 range keeps him in the conversation for a move back to cornerback, where he began his Miami career. Jumps were off the charts.

BEST TRAIT - Run Defense

WORST TRAIT - Coverage Range

RED FLAGS - None

A former cornerback who has only played safety for two years, Redwine improved significantly as a senior playing next to his high school teammate Jaquan Johnson in Miami’s secondary. He has no dominant traits, nor is he highly impactful in zone coverage, but his experience in man coverage and ability to match up with tight ends can give a defense important flexibility.

Redwine’s run defense, blitzing ability and athletic traits suggest starting ability in the NFL, but it remains to be seen if he will ever become a more instinctive player in coverage. He doesn’t give you much on the back end of a defense, but he is generally reliable and is certainly an asset in the run game. At the very least, Redwine will be a special teams stud and valuable reserve in a league using three safeties on the field at once more than ever before.

Round Grade: Late 3rd
________________________________________________________
Timed at 4.44. This and the previous profile suggests he wasn't overdrafted. Evaluation highligts his impact as a run defender.

"He has a physical presence, but he also has good ball skills. He can play in coverage for us." -Browns director of college scouting Steve Malin on Sheldrick Redwine

Malin adds Redwine has versatility to play free or strong safety, or the "big nickel"

Swag

Looks to be Peppers replacement TBH

MUCH swag

It cracks me up that some of you peeps are still questioning Dorsey's picks.

I think the more you dislike the players picked, the better the player is going to be.

If Dorsey likes this guy, he has a good damn reason.

wow, good finds there

looks like he needs strength, which is the easiest liability to have

We’re collecting speed. The Patriots showed the blueprint to beat the Ravens. No LBs, sub package a bunch of extra DBs that can run.

Not one person has claimed that on this board. Things get so misconstrued due to dumb ass agendas on this board that it's often hard to tolerate nonsense like the above.

good call Portland

I know I didn't put it in purple .. but I did "roll eyes"
