It’s never too early to talk about draft season.

The first week of college football is already in the books, and as we inch closer and closer to opening week of the NFL’s regular season, every team still has it’s questions. For the Washington Redskins, there are still obvious needs. Because of this, you should know some of the top collegiate players that the Redskins could select to fill these needs come the 2019 NFL Draft.

With recent draft picks and free agent acquisitions, the defensive line should be fully stocked, so I don’t expect the Redskins to target anyone there early. That means some of college football’s top players are out of the question, like Ed Oliver, Raekwon Davis, and Christian Wilkins.

However, Preston Smith is in the last year of his contract, meaning that outside linebacker is very much a need, until otherwise dealt with. I personally view the Redskins five biggest needs, in order, as interior offensive line, cornerback, inside linebacker, wide receiver, and edge rusher. Therefore, the majority of the players on the list primarily play those positions. Without further introduction, these are ten players you should watch as future Redskins prospects.
