Redskins select C Keith Ismael with pick No. 156 in fifth round of NFL Draft

Using a pick that they added in the Trent Williams trade, Washington found a steal in the fifth round of the draft.

With the 156th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins selected C Keith Ismael, for San Diego State.

The Redskins weren’t originally supposed to have this pick, but they acquired the extra draft capital as part of the trade package that landed LT Trent Williams with the San Francisco 49ers. They will also have an extra third-round pick in 2021 as well.

The selection of Ismael is a bit confusing, as the Redskins don’t exactly have a need at the C position, with Roullier at the starting spot. But the pick was said to create depth on the offensive line.
