The Ultimate Washington Redskins 2019 Mock Draft I

The Washington Football Team has a lot of reflecting to do after a season in which they started four different quarterbacks and may have lost Alex Smith forever. Regardless of if he comes back in 2019, this team can no longer trot out a team that features Alex Smith, Vernon Davis, and Adrian Peterson as it’s main playmakers (what year is this?!) It is time to rebuild on the fly and catch Dallas before it is too late. I think all Washington fans agree with that.

Draft expert Draftp is back with his thoughts on the situation in DC.

Check below for his 2019 Redskins mock draft:

This is my first draft in a very long time so please bare with me as I need to get back in a groove. Redskins draft needs are QB, LG, S, CB, OLB, ILB, WR, RB.

1. Redskins: Drew Lock QB Missouri
Rd 1, The Redskins need to look towards the future and develop a young QB with talent. Can anyone but Dan Snyder argue this fact? Lock has all the tools needed to succeed in Jay Gruden’s offence.

2. Redskins: Chris Lindstrom OG Boston College
Rd. 2 The Redskins have a gapping hole at LG so picking a plug and play guard on the second day of the draft is a must. Lindstrom has been kicking serious ass in the Senior Bowl practices this week and his draft stock is on the rise. I would not be surprised at all if he goes at the end of the 1st round. In my mind the best scenario for the Skins is to extend Scherff’s contract and then move him over to LG then start Linstrom at RG. I really like the idea of pairing Trent Williams and Branden Scherff on the left side and I think Moses is a good savvy vet that would pair well with Linstrom on the right side.

3. Redskins: Johnathan Abram S Mississippi State
Rd. 3 The Redskins need help in the secondary both at CB and S. Abram can play both FS and SS, he has some good cover skills that can be further developed plus he is a solid tackler and a fierce hitter. He could develop into a solid starter sooner rather than later.

4. Redskins: Jaylon Ferguson DE Louisiana Tech
Rd. 3 The Redskins will need help at pass rusher because they are so cash strapped and probably can’t afford to extend Scherff and resign starting OLB Preston Smith too. In comes Ferguson who has some solid pass rush skills and could develop into a starter. He might even be able to win this job out right in training camp because of how weak the Skins are at that position.

5. Redskins: Khalil Hodge ILB Buffalo
Rd. 5 It is hard to figure out what the Skins really have at inside linebacker. I figure until the play improves in the middle the Skins will still need to invest in help. I would roll the dice on a tackling machine like Hodge can develop into a solid player.

6. Redskins: CB Jamal Peters from Mississippi St.
Rd. 5 I have the Redskins drafting CB Jamal Peters from Mississippi St. One thing I noticed while scouting Johnathan Abram is that Peters was in on a lot of the same plays. Scouting Peters further showed me a solid corner that has good speed and athleticism with solid NFL size. Could earn a spot on the team as a special teams guy or start the year on the Practice Squad.

7. Redskins: WR Denzel Mims from Baylor
Rd. 6 I have the Redskins drafting WR Denzel Mims from Baylor. Mims is another size and speed guy that has a chance to develop into an NFL contributor at some point but he will need a year or so on the Practice Squad to further develop his skills.

8. Redskins: Bryce Love RB Stanford
Rd. 7 I have the Redskins drafting yet another running back. Love has fallen down the draft boards as of late but a player with his speed can make a big splash as a potential replacement for the often injured Chris Thompson. If nothing else Love will be an insurance policy just in case CT can’t go again this season. The Redskins can not afford to keep so many injury prone players on their roster if they truly want to compete in the NFC East next season.
