Redskins three-round mock: What if second-round pick is traded?

The Redskins don’t just need tight ends, or wide receivers. Their needs on offense transcend positional boundaries. What the Redskins need, simply, are playmakers. Players who can give the offense versatility and balance.

Appropriately, it was reported that the Redskins had hosted San Diego State’s Kahale Warring on a visit last week. If the Washington Redskins are truly looking for upside and versatility in offensive prospects, then Warring has a lot to offer.

Warring, standing at 6-foot-5, 250, offers excellent size as an offensive weapon, and as The Draft Network’s Kyle Crabbs wrote in Warring’s draft profile, Warring has the potential to give his NFL team much more than simple size.

"One of the biggest “‘arrow pointing up” prospects in the class, San Diego State’s run-heavy offense utilized Kahale Warring sparingly, but when he did get opportunities, the former water polo and basketball standout was highly impressive. Warring has the quickness and speed of a big wide receiver, but the length of a tight end and the biceps of a greek god. His routes and releases are already surprisingly polished, and while he can improve a bit as a blocker and continue to sharpen his ball skills, the work ethic and football character attributed to him at San Diego State bodes well for him reaching his high ceiling. Time this man gets the love he deserves as a top 100 prospect."

This is a pick that caters to the versatility the Redskins need with their weapons. Should the tight end situation collapse this year, Warring can come in and produce, and as he continues to grow, he’ll only get better. He has the traits to fulfill a Jordan Reed-like role, in the sense that he can line up in different spots and give the offense different looks. He’s no prime Jordan Reed, but with some time to develop, Warring can be an excellent weapon on offense.
