Round 1

Pick 15: Byron Murphy, CB

Murphy has a good frame, at 6′ but could stand to add a little weight at only 175 pounds. Murphy is another corner from the University of Washington that knows how to use his technique. Murphy could step in and lock down receivers opposite Josh Norman. Alternately, Murphy could be the replacement for Norman who is set to make 14.5 million this season. Norman is getting older, and he has lost a step. Murphy could learn from Norman for a year or two, and take over the number one corner spot.

Round 2

Pick 14: Taylor Rapp,S

Rapp could be the perfect compliment to Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix. Rapp is 6′ 200 pounds but plays much bigger than that. Rapp doesn’t hesitate to come down and hit, and he is serviceable in coverage. Rapp isn’t a single high safety, but he is more than capable in coverage. He is a versatile safety, but he will do his best work in the box.

Round 3

Pick 12: Michael Jordan, OL

Michael Jordan has a great frame at 6’6″, and he is built like a brick house. Jordan can absolutely manhandle smaller defenders, and he has surprising quickness for someone of his size. Jordan could step in and be the Redskins starting left guard from day one. Even if he can’t start immediately, Jordan could provide valuable depth for a group that was decimated by injury in 2018.

Pick 32: JJ Arcega-Whiteside, WR

Arcega-Whiteside is one of the most powerful receivers in college football. He attacks the ball and rips it out of the air. He isn’t the fastest player, but he has good speed for his size. Arcega-Whiteside reminds me of a young Dez Bryant, extremely strong hands, good after the catch, and physically dominates corners in the run game.

Round5

Pick 15: Cameron Smith, LB

Smith is an old school linebacker, at 6’1 250 pounds, he can punish offensive players. Smith makes his living shooting gaps and making plays in the run game. Even if Rueben Foster can play this year, he will likely be suspended for at least 6 games. Until he gets back the Redskins will need a player to fill his role.

Pick 33: Dontavius Russell, DL

Russell is a run-stuffing specialist, he made his living at Auburn resetting the line of scrimmage. Russell doesn’t offer a lot in terms of pass rush moves, but he can collapse the pocket. He can be a two-down nose tackle or even a 3-4 end if needed.

Round 6

Pick 32: Kyle Shurmur, QB

Shurmur isn’t a franchise quarterback but given the tools and protection, he is capable of winning games. Son of Pat Shurmur, Kyle understands the game like few other college players. Given a year to learn the offense, he could be a perfect backup for whoever the Redskins decide to make their franchise quarterback.

Round 7

Pick 13: Hunter Renfrow, WR

Renfrow isn’t an explosive athlete for the position, and he won’t scare defensive backs downfield. However, he is capable of doing damage out of the slot. He is quick and he understands how to manipulate defensive backs to get open. Renfrow catches almost everything that gets to him, making him a valuable target in the middle of the field.
