OT Mekhi Becton — Louisville (+650)
It’s starting to seem more and more likely that the Redskins will be in need of a replacement for Trent Williams at the left tackle position, and Mekhi Becton might be as good of a candidate as any.
With a massive 6-foot-7 and 364-pound frame, Becton turned heads at the NFL Combine when he ran a 5.1-second 40-yard-dash. That’s insane.

Becton is far more than just a combine athlete, as well, and he had a huge impact for Louisville in his senior season there, protecting the blindside and getting into space in the running game.

There are still a lot of dominos to fall in the Williams situation in Washington, but should he depart ahead of the 2020 season, Becton would be a great replacement.
With (+650) odds, if you wagered $100, you would win $650 in profit.
