Redskins: 5 values too good to pass up at pick No. 15

This one is particularly subjective; depending on who you like, there’s up to four quarterbacks you could put here. It’s not necessarily the player that matters here, but instead the prospect of a quarterback falling to pick No. 15, so that the Redskins wouldn’t have to trade up to acquire one.

Admittedly, the possibility of a quarterback falling is slim. The value of quarterbacks is always driven upward by needy teams. As we’ve seen in past years, teams tend to trade up for guys they like, when they fall far enough. Even in a class regarded as relatively weak, such as this, teams will convince themselves that a player can be the solution in Round 1.

But even so, the top-tier talent in the draft could push quarterbacks down, if teams opt to take other paths. Kyler Murray shouldn’t slip; he appears to be a top three pick, if not the No. 1 overall pick. After him, however, the situation grows hazy. Depending on how the draft plays out, one quarterback, out of Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock, and Daniel Jones, could be on the board at No. 15. All it takes is a few teams to like someone else better.

With that said, out of those quarterbacks at No. 15, give me Drew Lock as the most valuable. Haskins might have the higher floor, and Jones might have the better superficial traits, but Lock’s upside far surpasses both, and he has the high character to not only learn and develop at the next level, but lead a locker room, and be the franchise masthead teams need at quarterback. Haskins has the mental prowess as well, but Lock’s athleticism and arm talent makes him a long-term investment more worth taking at No. 15, if the opportunity arises.
