Round 5

Pick No. 153 – LSU TE Foster Moreau

With Vernon Davis aging and Jordan Reed growing less financially viable by the second, the Redskins could do well to add a tight end on Day 3 of the NFL Draft, simply to add to the rotation and provide depth. Foster Moreau can serve that purpose, as an exceedingly athletic tight end with solid blocking ability and receiving upside. He might not exceed Jeremy Sprinkle’s rookie contributions, but in time, when other players leave, he could emerge as a suitable weapon.

Pick No. 173 – James Madison CB Jimmy Moreland

If the right player winds up being available at the right pick, then the Redskins could address a position that doesn’t look like a need on paper: Cornerback. Josh Norman, Quinton Dunbar, and Fabian Moreau appear to have the confidence of the team as starters, but Washington could still sign depth and potential future starting talent. That’s what they get here with Jimmy Moreland, an uber-productive Division II prospect with tremendous competitive fire, ball skills, and spryness as a mover.
