This is a group of prospects that ultimately could work out for the Redskins, but it may leave the fans feeling a bit uninspired.

In the first round, with all the other top quarterbacks off the board, the ‘Skins grab Daniel Jones from Duke. While a number of fans have soured on Jones, he has a prototypical skill set and was well-coached in college. He will likely go in the first round, given the rise that quarterbacks always see in the lead-up to the draft. And, in all likelihood, he will be the only first-round quarterback on the board when the Redskins are picking, as Dwayne Haskins and Drew Lock seem unlikely to slip to the 15th pick.

With quarterback addressed, the team shifts their attention to the edge position with their first Day 2 pick. Chase Winovich is an intriguing prospect with a great work ethic, solid athletic ability, and proven production at Michigan. He would be a nice complement for Ryan Anderson and could ultimately end up starting across from Ryan Kerrigan. He wouldn’t be as flashy as a first-round edge, but he’s the kind of pass rusher Washington has targeted in Round 2 in recent seasons.

In the third round, the team elects to continue addressing their offense. Andy Isabella would be a great replacement for Jamison Crowder as a speedy slot guy with a lot of proven production. He would battle Trey Quinn for the starting job there, but he would give the team more versatility and depth in their lacking receiving corps.

Meanwhile, Nate Davis would give the squad competition for Ereck Flowers at left guard. He would be a solid value at the end of Day 3.

This draft would certainly help to plug up some of the Redskins’ biggest needs, and it would give them a quarterback of the future. At the same time, the value on these picks collectively isn’t great, as selecting Jones in the first round could cause them to land lesser players at other positions of need. Still, if the team views Jones as the franchise quarterback, this is well within the realm of possibility.
