As the mock drafts start to come at an increased clip, it’s important for teams and their fans to have a clear idea of what they might be after in that year’s draft. For the Washington Redskins, the 2020 NFL Draft will likely start by trying to acquire the best talent left on the board (ie. Chase Young), followed by an influx of picks centered around positional needs.
So what are those positional needs that the Redskins must address, and where do they rank in the hierarchy? We have a ranking of what the blueprint will likely resemble:
No. 5 — Cornerback
Cornerback was one of the Redskins’ biggest needs entering the offseason, but they did well in free agency to snag some high-profile players that will cover that hole for the time being. Still, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Washington go after a solid CB prospect in the middle rounds of the draft, hoping to find a future asset to build around.
Potential Prospects: Josiah Scott (Michigan State), Bryce Hall (Virginia), Lavert Hill (Michigan), Myles Bryant (Washington).
