It’s February, and now, the Redskins enter the first “dead” period of the NFL offseason.

The Super Bowl is over, and the road map for the next 300 miles for the Washington Redskins is officially equivalent to the state of Wyoming. Inside the team’s facility, coaches will still be working to determine the viability of the Redskins current core, but as for public landmarks, the next one isn’t until late in the month, when the NFL Combine kicks off in Indianapolis.

The lack of news can be an excuse for a writer to get lazy, but we don’t get lazy here at Riggo’s Rag (well, not all the time). So, to kill the time between now and the next major league update, let’s start a new series of February seven-round mock drafts.

This mock is standard, based on what we’ve been hearing about the team so far this offseason. There are no trades, as the emphasis is not only to tie in offseason nuggets to potential selections, but also to showcase the depth of the 2020 NFL Draft class at certain positions, and associate you with some new names. Let’s get into it!
