Round 3, Pick 32: G Nate Davis, Charlotte

This would be a rapid way for the Redskins to rebuild their offense and fix a lot of their positions of need in the first three rounds.

For starters, D.K. Metcalf is the consensus top receiver in this class, and he has an insane athletic profile (4.33-second 40-yard dash despite well-built 6-3, 228-pound frame) and could develop into a top pass-catcher at the NFL level. There are some concerns about his route running ability and agility, but his upside is high enough that he will likely warrant a top-25 pick).

In Round 2, the Redskins grab a quarterback that can challenge Case Keenum and Colt McCoy for the starting job. Will Grier has some flaws in his game, but he has really good arm talent and has made some flashy throws. His biggest issue will be staying consistently accurate, but he’s a good get in the second round, as he has the potential to develop into a starting quarterback.

In the third, the ‘Skins continue to add weapons to their offense by getting top receiving tight end Jace Sternberger. The Texas A&M product is a bit of a one-year wonder, but he was an elite receiver in college and could end up being a mismatch weapon at the NFL level. His lack of blocking skills drops him a bit, but he can improve those with better technique.

Once again, Davis comes in as the final third-round pick to provide competition at guard.

This would be a really nice way to shore up the offense, but the lack of a quality edge would force the team to start Ryan Anderson. While that could work out, it’s a bit of a risk. Also, Metcalf has high bust potential because of his lack of a refined route tree, so that could dampen expectations a little bit for him, at least in year one.
