NFL Mock Draft: Day 2 mock has Redskins address offense, avoid quarterback
Picks 73-76
73. Seattle Seahawks (via NE): DT Khalen Saunders, Western Illinois
The Seahawks get this pick from a first-round trade with the New England Patriots. And with it, they add an athletic, small school prospect. Saunders had a great showing at the combine, clocking a 5.01 in the 40-yard dash despite his 324-pound frame, and performed well in the on-field drills. Saunders could be a rotational player on the Seahawks’ defensive line but could emerge as a pass rushing threat.
74. Buffalo Bills: TE Caleb Wilson, UCLA
The Bills continue to add weapons around Josh Allen. Caleb Wilson is a very athletic tight end who ran a 4.56 time in the 40-yard dash and showed off good athletic ability on tape. He lacks muscle on the lower part of his frame, which might make him merely a decent blocker at best, but he will be used more as a receiving threat. His presence along with Deebo Samuel will help to transform the Buffalo offense.
75. Green Bay Packers: S Deionte Thompson, Alabama
The Packers added Adrian Amos to their safety group, but they could stand to add competition for former second-round pick, Josh Jones. Thompson was once considered to be a potential first-round pick, but he struggled late in the season and wasn’t able to work out at the combine. Thompson has the upside of a good starting safety and a centerfield playmaker, but his instincts are a bit of a concern. That said, getting him in the third round is a steal, so the Packers will be happy to get him here.
76. Washington Redskins: WR Emanuel Hall, Missouri
Hall is an intriguing prospect for the Redskins. He has a 6-2 frame, excellent speed and downfield ability, and can catch almost anything that comes his way. He averaged 20.8 yards per catch during his career at Missouri and he may turn into the best receiver in this class.
However, Hall falls to the third round due to injury concerns and toughness. He never played in more than 10 games in college and had trouble playing through smaller injuries. So, that is a concern.

Still, Hall could be a No. 1 receiver if he can stay healthy. Hall could take over the X position for the Redskins and push Josh Doctson into a backup role. He should have a chance to help give the Redskins’ quarterback a weapon either way, so this seems like Hall’s floor unless we don’t know something about his medicals.
