Day 3, Part 1

Round Four: Beau Benzschawel, OG, Wisconsin

Benzschawel has the prototypical size to play inside, but he will need to take several steps to be a success in the NFL. He’s a good presence on the line of scrimmage but needs to lock onto his blocking assignments immediately or he can get beat.  Benzschawel would probably need at least half of a season before he could start, but his potential is unlimited. Benzschawel is very good in the rushing offense but needs to work on pass protection.

Round Five: Kaleb McGary, OT, Washington

More from Commanders Draft News

There is no truth to the rumor that Kaleb McGary was recently named as one of the peaks in the Cascade Mountain range.  At 6-7, 320 pound, the massive offensive tackle for the Huskies certainly qualifies.  McGary is a bit raw and will need a year to adjust to life in the NFL, but his potential is undeniable. Adding about 10 pounds of muscle and going up against NFL defensive linemen in practice will help his maturation process.  McGary is a better run blocker than a pass protector for now, but he needs to work hard in order to succeed in the league.

Round Five (Comp Pick): Trace McSorley, QB, Penn. St.

Do we need to remind anyone about the last time the Redskins selected two quarterbacks in the same draft?  Many pundits would advise against this move, but a front office can’t judge a draft based on any decisions made in previous offseasons.  A look at the current depth chart and the reality of Alex Smith’s latest injury news is not too encouraging.  Adding McSorley here makes perfect sense and the Redskins would be adding another quarterback who simply produces victories.  The Ashburn native has good mobility, but he will need a lot of work at the next stop.  McSorley will be third on any depth chart, but that will give him time to adjust to the NFL.
