Redskins 7-Round Mock Draft: Team goes offense heavy, grabs QB early
After selecting a quarterback in the first round, the Redskins continue to add to their arsenal of weapons. They now have three new targets for Daniel Jones thanks to the addition for Foster Moreau.
Moreau was never used too much in the LSU offense as a receiver, as they are a run-heavy unit, but when he did catch passes, he was impressive and showed the upside of a solid receiver at the NFL level. He had 46 catches for 550 yards and five touchdowns during his final two seasons with the Tigers, and he is a solid blocker.
At the combine, was solid overall, showing fine athletic ability and demonstrating that he should be a great blocker in the NFL. Actually, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein compared him to former Redskins tight end Logan Paulsen and said this of his potential for the next level.

"Moreau is a feisty, committed run-blocking tackle with solid technique and footwork to find proper angles in-line or on the move. He’s tough enough to battle at the point of attack, but at his best when he’s a lead blocker on iso, wham blocks, and outside zone with his ability to locate and land on second-level targets. He lacks finesse as a route-runner and is too content to be covered when matched up against a linebacker. While he’s not dynamic, he should find work as a run-blocking option who can be moved around formations."
So, in essence, Moreau’s calling card is his blocking ability, which is entirely unsurprising for an LSU product. But he can do just enough to catch passes as well. He’d be ideal competition for Jeremy Sprinkle and could eventually take on a role as a No. 2 tight end if all goes well.
