2020 NFL Mock Draft: Full first-round mock plus all Redskins picks

Rest of the Redskins picks

Let’s wrap this baby up with the rest of the Redskins picks.

Round 3, Pick 2: OT Saahdiq Charles, LSU. I considered going with a tight end here — Cole Kmet was still on the board, for those wondering — but I felt that the need at tackle was bigger. The choice between Saahdiq Charles and Lucas Niang, but I ultimately went with Charles because the Redskins have met with him. Perhaps I could’ve waited around to get him, but I didn’t want to find out considering that he’s on the rise a bit.

Round 4, Pick 2: WR Van Jefferson, Florida. Same deal here. I could’ve grabbed a tight end, but in a shaky class, I wanted to capitalize on the great receiver depth instead. Jefferson caught six touchdowns in each of his two seasons at Florida and has the size (6-foot-1) and versatility needed to find a home in the NFL.

Round 4, Pick 36: CB Troy Pride Jr., Notre Dame. The Redskins need some competition at corner. Pride has good speed and a solid skill set and with some time to develop and become more self-confident, he could find a home as a starter.

Round 5, Pick 16: TE Thaddeus Moss, LSU. I’m sticking to my theory on this year’s tight end class. It’s bad, so instead of taking a chance on a player whose value is being artificially inflated by that fact, take a flyer on a fifth-round guy. Moss is a bit undersized but finds pockets of space well and is an effective and willing blocker.

Round 7, Pick 2: S Kenny Robinson, St. Louis Battlehawks (XFL). Robinson may be the only player ever to be drafted straight out of the XFL. He has good size (6-foot-2) and was a ballhawk in his college days at West Virginia (seven picks in two seasons) and grabbed two picks for St. Louis before the coronavirus pandemic wiped out the season and likely, the upstart league. The ‘Skins could capitalize on getting him late to provide some depth and competition at safety.

Round 7, Pick 15: OT Terrance Steele, Texas Tech. I almost picked Lamical Perine (cousin of Samaje) just to grind some gears but ultimately went with Steele. The ‘Skins have very little at tackle, so grabbing Steele here to compete with Charles and Geron Christian makes sense.

We’ll be dropping more seven-round mocks before the 2020 NFL Draft is here. But this one at least looks solid, though different strategies can certainly be debated.
