Redskins 7-round mock draft: Draft day edition has team land new QB
Day 3
Round 5, Pick 15: TE Caleb Wilson, UCLA
Wilson is an excellent receiver and totaled nearly 1,000 receiving yards for UCLA last year. He’s not a great blocker and could add muscle to his frame, but his receiving ability should make him a weapon at the NFL level. He could rotate into the tight end group as more of a receiver while the other tight ends focus more on blocking. He and Jeremy Sprinkle would complement each other well as a potential future tandem at the position.
Round 5, Pick 35: OT Tyler Roemer, San Diego State
Washington Commanders
Roemer has character concerns which caused him to get dismissed from the San Diego State program. That said, he also played well at the left tackle position and has immense upside for the NFL. With William Sweet off the board here, Roemer could be a nice developmental pickup and could get a chance to learn more about the NFL in a role as the fourth tackle with the team. And with improvement, he could eventually start.
Round 6, Pick 33: WR Jakobi Meyers, NC State
Meyers is one of my favorite sleepers in this draft. The converted quarterback has quick feet and showed a lot of improvement in his second full year as a receiver. He could be a good slot weapon at the NFL level, as he has the size (6-1) and quickness needed to turn into a weapon. With him and Samuel in the fold, the Redskins’ receiving corps would look a lot better, though they still wouldn’t have a true No. 1 wide-out.
Round 7, Pick 13: S Delvon Randall, Temple
In each of the past four seasons, Randall has posted four interceptions for Temple. He is an instinctive safety with good coverage skills, but he lacks the athletic ability that teams usually look for at the position. But in the seventh round, he’s a good pick as developmental depth at the position and could eventually emerge as a contributor.
Round 7, Pick 39: CB Clifton Duck, Appalachian State
Besides having one of the best names in this draft, Duck was a ballhawk for the Mountaineers and posted 12 interceptions during his career. He’s a bit undersized for the NFL, so he may be limited to slot duties. That said, he’s worth a pick late in the seventh round, as he could develop into a quality player and provide depth at a position of need.

This is just one last guess as to what happens. Soon enough, we’ll know for sure exactly what the Redskins are planning to do.
