One of the few players who has routinely been mocked to be selected by the Washington Football Team with the No. 19 pick in the 2021 NFL draft is Virginia Tech left tackle Christian Darrisaw, who is considered one of the top-tier offensive linemen in this draft. With a hole at left tackle, Washington is undoubtedly considering him with their top pick.
Darrisaw, who grew up about 10 minutes away from FedEx Field, said the prospect of playing for Washington and being able to put on the burgundy and gold every week would be a dream come true.

After a successful free-agency haul that landed them a new quarterback, wide receiver and cornerback, Washington is now at liberty to use their draft capital to focus on other positions of need, with left tackle being the main piece, as well as linebacker, free safety, running back and cornerback. There is a chance that Washington brings in Darrisaw in the first round if he is still available, which at this point seems like something that would make everyone happy.
