No. 3 – Redskins WR Trey Quinn

Doug Williams recently spoke about the Redskins need to find a “go-to guy” at wide receiver. As of now, Washington has no such receiver. Josh Doctson was supposed to be the one, but he hasn’t reached the heights of his potential. Paul Richardson has the speed to thrive, but not the fortitude.  However, one player who could be a wild card, among others, is Trey Quinn.

If the Redskins avoid the wide receiver position altogether because of types like Trey Quinn and Cam Sims, then they’re doing it wrong. The receiver position is in rough shape, and Williams’ sentiments are truthful; the team lacks a go-to guy. But if there was ever a draft to gamble later on, in hopes of finding the go-to guy as a steal, this draft is it.

How the Redskins strive to find their magnetic target will shed some light on what they truly think of their current receiving core. Is Cam Sims a red zone monster in waiting? Is Trey Quinn truly set to be handed the keys to the slot? Or will they be forced to prove it, at the opposition of an early pick?
