Round 7, Pick 13

Will Pick: OT Mitch Hyatt, Clemson

The Redskins need to add a developmental tackle at some point in the draft. Hyatt is a little on the light side (303 pounds) but he’s a good technician and should have a chance to become a quality backup. If the ‘Skins can get him to bulk up, he could challenge Geron Christian for the swing tackle job, though it’s more likely that Hyatt would be the fourth tackle during his first season at the NFL level.

Should Pick: QB/ATH Trace McSorley, Penn State

I’m starting to get more intrigued by McSorley’s potential for the next level. I don’t think he’ll be an effective quarterback, but he has the athletic ability needed to be a quality defensive back, receiver, or an effective fourth-string quarterback that can help with the scout team.

If he’s willing to switch positions, McSorley could become a late-round steal for an interested team. The Redskins can afford to take him, let him try his hand as the fourth-string quarterback, and cross-train him at other positions. It will be interesting to see if they show any interest in him.

Dark Horse: OT Tyler Roemer, San Diego State

Roemer was suspended by the San Diego State team, and that’s why he entered the draft. Roemer has experience playing left tackle and has upside thanks to his 6-6, 312-pound frame. There may be character concerns with Roemer, but if he checks out in the pre-draft process, the Redskins could take a chance on him late in hopes of developing him into a quality backup.
