Washington Redskins 7-Round Mock Draft: Post-Christmas Edition

Round 5, Pick 12 – WR Stacy Coley, Miami

There is a good chance that Washington will lose DeSean Jackson in the offseason. If that happens, the team will need to replace him in their offense and to do that, they will need to add a speed option. They can accomplish that in the fifth round by adding Stacy Coley.

Coley was a four year player at the University of Miami, and he has been a speed threat for the team ever since he arrived. In his freshman season, Coley averaged 17.9 yards per reception and caught a whopping seven touchdown passes. He was able to burn opposing corners and looked like a potential early round.

Fast forward three years, and Coley still looks like a good prospect. However, he never reached a truly elite level as a receiver. He is no longer the one trick pony he was early in his career, but he does not look like a No. 1 option. He has great speed and did catch 58 passes as a senior. Coley just has limited potential for the NFL.

For the Redskins, Coley could come in and be their fourth receiver behind Pierre Garcon, Jamison Crowder, and Josh Doctson. He would be quality depth and could work in some packages as a deep threat. I like his potential to develop into a situational player, and I think the Redskins will too.
