No. 3 — 2014 Draft Class
Best Picks: Morgan Moses (66), Spencer Long (78), Bashaud Breeland (102), Ryan Grant (142)
Worst Picks: Trent Murphy (47), Lache Seastrunk (186)
Analysis: The Redskins got a solid multi-year starter in Morgan Moses, who is still a mainstay on the O-line to this day, and the rest of the talent they drafted was impressive as well. The only problem is that none of the players stuck around for long. Long was a solid player for four years before going to the New York Jets; Breeland was great before leaving in free agency; and Grant was a decent receiver for a few years, though not someone you’d pay a big contract to.
While they didn’t have a first-round pick, selecting Trent Murphy in the second round was a bit hard to swallow. That’s not to say that Murphy was a bad player at all — he played in all but one game during his three years in Washington, racking up 15 sacks in that time — but when you look at some of the players drafted behind him (Davante Adams, Jarvis Landry) you realize the Redskins could have gotten more. Oh well, hindsight is 20-20.
