line coach Jim Tomsula Name: Jim TomsulaTitle: Defensive Line CoachExperience: 11 yearsBio: The fiery Tomsula is regarded as one of the better defensive line coaches in the NFL Charles Mann Jersey , and this will be his second season in that capacity with the Washington Redskins.Tomsula previously spent seven seasons as the defensive line coach of the 49ers before being promoted to head coach in 2015.The Niners went 5-11 during a tumultuous year that followed the abrupt departure of Jim Harbaugh and the unexpected retirements of Patrick Willis and Chris Borland, and included the benching of a suddenly ineffective Colin Kaepernick.Tomsula managed to keep the team relatively competitive, but their record was the second-worst in the NFC, leading to Tomsula’s dismissal at the end of the year.San Francisco’s loss was Washington’s gain, as Tomsula has helped shape a young and talented Redskins’ defensive line group.Fun Fact: Tomsula spent nearly a decade in NFL Europe before moving over to the domestic side.He was the defensive coordinator of the Berlin Thunder during their championship season of 2004.In 2006, the final season of NFL Europe, Tomsula was the head coach of the Rhein Fire, leading them to a 6-4 record. ‘Skins started 7 fer 7 The Redskins started out with a pretty straightforward draft situation for 2019 — the team had its own (original) pick in each of the seven rounds.Two key transactionsBut two of those picks have been spent already in 2018:The 6th round pick was used to select DB Adonis Alexander in the Supplemental DraftThe 4th rounder was traded away to the Packers this week to acquire 5th year safety Ha Ha Clinton-DixCurrent situationThe net result is that the Redskins have 5 of their “original” picks remaining (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th).Offseason outflowBut this past offseason, the Redskins allowed a lot of veteran free agents to leave for other teams Colt McCoy Jersey , while signing only one veteran free agent (Paul Richardson) who counted in the Compensatory Draft Pick formula.CLICK TO READ: The 5 O’Clock Club: Explaining how compensatory draft picks work CLICK TO READ:OverTheCap Article - The Basics and Methodology of Projecting the NFL’s Compensatory Draft PicksCompensatory draft pick estimateOverTheCap, who have a really strong track record at accurately projecting compensatory draft picks, published this cancellation chart to estimate the picks that Washington is likely to be awarded ahead of the 2019 draft:No team can be awarded more than 4 compensatory picks in one off season, so the Redskins appear to be in line to get:a 3rd round pick (Kirk Cousins to Vikings)a 5th round pick (Trent Murphy to Bills)a 6th round pick (Ryan Grant to Colts)a 7th round pick (Niles Paul to Jaguars)The league tightly controls draft picks these daysWhile there may have been shenanigans in the past related to NFL execs trading picks they didn’t have, the league office has, for many years now, had a strict control system in place for tracking draft picks and who owns them.Compensatory picks are tradeable these days (since the 2017 draft), but not until after they have been awarded by the NFL Management Council.The picks are awarded at the annual league meeting in March, so we have a long wait until the compensatory picks are in hand.These ‘comp’ picks are used to select players at the end of the designated round, after the 32 ‘regular’ selections have been made.Projected situation for 2019 draftAssuming the OverTheCap estimate above is correct, the Redskins should have 9 picks remaining in the 2019 draft, as well as two players currently on the roster as a result of using some of the team’s 2019 draft capital.Here’s a summary of the nine picks that the Redskins are expected to have in the coming draft:1st round - ‘regular’ pick2nd round - ‘regular’ pick3rd round - ‘regular’ pick3rd round - ‘comp’ pick4th round - Ha Ha Clinton-Dix acquired in trade from GB Packers5th round - ‘regular’ pick5th round - ‘comp’ pick6th round - Adonis Alexander selected in the 2018 Supplemental Draft6th round - ‘comp’ pick7th round - ‘regular’ pick7th round - ‘comp’ pickRelated Articles:Redskins add Virginia Tech DB Adonis Alexander in NFL Supplemental DraftGrading the Adonis Alexander pick for the Washington RedskinsVirginia Tech football: Adonis Alexander selected by the Redskins in the NFL Supplemental DraftPhoto by Dylan Buell/Getty ImagesBreaking down the Packers’ trade of S Ha Ha Clinton-DixPackers trade safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to RedskinsNFL fans react to Packers trading Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
