When it comes to the 2021 NFL draft, Washington’s first-round pick will be pretty important for the future of the franchise. The team has done well in recent years with guys like Terry McLaurin, Antonio Gibson, Montez Sweat, and Kamren Curl, but a need to hit big on your first-round pick is always crucial. We saw it pay dividends with the selection of Chase Young at No. 2 overall last year, and we can hope that Ron Rivera and his team get it done once again this year.
Washington currently holds the No. 19 pick overall and assuming there are no trades, here are the 10 most reasonable guys to consider when they are on the clock. This is based on who the top 10 players were on the board when Washington went on the clock in 25 simulated one-round mock drafts. Unfortunately, none of the top-tier quarterbacks fell that far.
