Best- and worst-case scenarios for each position

Offensive linemen

Best: Two of the three FAs (Schweitzer, Lucas, Vujnovich) develop into quality backups who stick around for multiple seasons.

Worst: Two don’t even make the opening day roster and all are a distant memory come 2021.

Receivers/Tight Ends

Best: Latimer scores six TDs and one of the TEs emerges as a serious threat.

Worst: Jeremy Sprinkle leads the team in TE receptions.

Running Backs

Best: McKissic catches 50 passes and Barber has 10 carries.

Worst: Barber has 50 carries and McKissic catches 10 passes.

Quarterback

Best: Allen runs the victory formation half a dozen times.

Worst: Allen does virtually anything else.

Defensive Line

Best: Caleb Brantley and Nate Orchard work their way into the rotation.

Worst: There is no Worst. We rock.

Linebackers

Best: Neither Davis nor Bostic have to play much because the kids all step up.

Worst: Davis’ age catches up with him.

Secondary

Best: Fuller, Darby and Davis play as expected.

Worst: The injury situation equals last year, because there is very little depth back there.

So, at this point, you can expect the draft to be heavy on offensive players. After taking Chase Young, look for offensive linemen, wide receivers, and tight ends to be targets. They will grab a corner or two late like they always do.

Next. What if the Redskins only drafted offensive players?. dark

Optimistically, it’s beginning to look like Trent Williams might yield a fourth-round pick. But I’m still hoping these kids can work out their differences. I said giving away Dunbar for low value hurt some but was ultimately necessary. Doing the same with Trent will hurt a lot more.
