Round 3: RB Antonio Gibson — Memphis
Grade: A-
The selection of Antonio Gibson may have turned a few heads when it happened in the third round, but once fans got a glimpse of his college highlights, they were happy to hop on board. Gibson is a dynamic runner with receiver skills to boot. The young playmaker fancies himself as an offensive weapon or a Swiss Army knife, and he models his game after Carolina Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey.
Luckily for the Redskins, they have the coaching staff who helped to turn McCaffrey into what he is, and they will now be tasked with doing the same for Gibson. The rookie will immediately slot into the pass-catching RB role that has been left vacant by Chris Thompson, and he will shoulder a return load on Special Teams as well.
