No. 1 — Third Round
Call it recency bias — call it whatever you want. The selection of Terry McLaurin in the third round of last year’s draft definitely played a part in us ranking it at the top of the classes, but it’s not without good reason. Beyond the steal of McLaurin and his ridiculous rookie season, the Redskins also pick up players like Kendall Fuller and Fabian Moreau in this round as well. Fuller is thankfully back after being traded away for Alex Smith, and Fabian is expected to see an increased role in the secondary this year, where hopefully he can step up. Another part of the decision to rank the third round as our most valuable has something to do with 2020 as well. The Redskins don’t have a second-round pick this year, meaning they will have to rely on a steal in the third-round to greatly improve their roster. My bet is that they can grab a great player who can have an instant impact. The history shows it’s possible.
