The Washington Redskins seem to be set for the present and future at the offensive tackle position. Here’s a deeper dive into what their depth chart will look like.

Going into the 2018 offseason, the Washington Redskins had needs at many positions on the offensive side of the ball. Offensive tackle wasn’t one of them. Armed with a couple of bookends, a solid reserve tackle, and some potential based options as well, the position was one of their deeper ones overall.

Still, the team did elect to add some players to compete and act as future pieces for their line. Given how important quality offensive line play is, and particularly the left tackle position, it was encouraging to see the team build on a strength.

With that said, here’s a look at what the Redskins offensive tackle depth chart will look like, starting with who will be the top option at the offense’s most important position.
