The Washington Redskins are in serious need of wide receiver help. Here’s a look at a top 20 big board for the position in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Currently, the Redskins have a big problem at the receiver position. In fact, you could argue that it’s the weakest position group on their roster.

Taking stock of the players that the team has, their talent level is fairly low. Josh Doctson has proven to be a bust so far in his NFL career and if he doesn’t make the leap this year, he’ll only be a complementary option at best. Paul Richardson has great speed and body control, but he has struggled to stay healthy during his career.

Meanwhile, Jamison Crowder is gone and while replacement Trey Quinn has some upside, he struggled with injuries as a rookie. The team will have to look for help at the receiver position and should target the position heavily in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Thankfully, the Redskins are starting at a fairly deep receiver class. It’s light on top-end talent, but in the middle rounds of the draft, there are plenty of receivers that could make an impact at the next level, whether it’s as No. 2 guys or slot performers. Here’s a look at the top 20 receivers the ‘Skins should consider in this year’s draft.
