No. 8 — LT Cedric Ogbuehi
With Trent Williams up and out of here, the left tackle position just became one of the biggest needs for the Redskins to fill going forward. As it stands now, second-year player Geron Christian Sr. is the starter on the depth chart, but that won’t stand throughout the offseason. The Redskins could look to draft another young LT, but they’ll be unlikely to find a starting-caliber player outside of the first round. That leaves free agency.
Unfortunately, this is a tough year to need a left tackle and be given the free-agent market to find one. There are only a few solid left tackle options that are under the age of 32, and many of them have yet to find a solid starting role for their prospective teams. Cedric Ogbuehi is one of the most solid options at the position, at 28-years-old. He was a former first-round pick from 2015, and he’s had a solid career as a swing tackle despite battling with injuries.
Ogbuehi is probably one of the Redskins’ best cheap options at the position, but they will have to put a lot of trust on his shoulders that he can perform.
