The 2021 NFL draft is finally here. No more smokescreens. We will finally see which teams are serious about going all-in for a quarterback.
The Washington Football Team is in an interesting position with their first-round pick at No. 19 overall. Will the team move up? Move back? Realistically, I believe the team stays patient and takes the best player available at a position of need.
Fortunately, that strategy would line up well with Washington’s needs. WFT enters the draft with needs at offensive tackle and linebacker. However, that doesn’t mean Washington is out on other positions such as safety, wide receiver — and quarterback.
If Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields begins to slip down the board, watch out for Washington. Will he make it to No. 19? I just don’t see it. The slander on Fields throughout this process is mind-boggling. But, say he did, Washington would likely be interested.
Here are the five most realistic options for the Washington Football Team in the 2021 NFL draft, assuming the team sticks at No. 19.
