I can see a team pouncing on Redmond well before the 7th round, if anything for his athleticism alone.
He's kind of a tweener right now, and he never quite lived up to his potential in college.
At the Combine, he weighed 291, but he was categorized as a DE and thus being compared with other edge guys to calculate RAS.
But he ran a 4.81 and put up a 7.30 cone, which is pretty good for a 290+ lb guy.

For comparison, Geno Atkins was about the same size (293 lb).
He ran a 4.85 and put up a 7.33 cone, which are both near the top when comparing to DTs.
Redmond's vert and broad were also similar to Geno's.

I could honestly see Redmond being selected in Rd 4 or Rd 5, and he could be turned into a Geno-lite.

EDIT - When converting Redmond's RAS to DT instead of DE, he rates a 9.72, which is damn near perfect.
Top-tier in every athletic drill, the only knocks when compared to DTs are height and weight.
But as we've seen with more and more DTs the past couple decades, sub-300 lb guys can still be effective.
And just like Atkins did once he got to the NFL, Redmond couple still bulk up some and get to 300 lbs, becoming an ideal IDL pass rushing threat.
