Prince Tega Wanogho didn’t allow a sack in his final collegiate season. He helped block for Auburn and freshman quarterback Bo Nix and did well.

Wanogho has all the tools needed to be a solid tackle at the next level. He has a 6-foot-5, 307-pound frame that should afford him the opportunity to stick on the outside and play either tackle position, especially if he bulks up just a bit. He’s athletic, has solid length, and should be a good starter once he develops more.

That last part is key. Wanogho is a bit raw as he doesn’t have a ton of experience playing football. His success in the SEC highlighted his top-tier potential, but any team that drafts him needs to be prepared for some growing pains.

That could be enough to scare some Redskins fans off, as they’ll think about the last raw tackle the team drafted, Geron Christian. But the fact of the matter is that Christian and Wanogho are two very different players. And Wanogho showed off decent technique last year in the SEC whereas Christian’s technique has been a problem during his college and NFL careers. In short, they’re two very different players and should be treated as such.

If the Redskins swing a trade with a team like the Dolphins, Browns, or Vikings, Wanogho should be in play for their pick. He’s probably going to be a top 50 selection and at the very least should be off the board by the time the third round begins. He’d be a nice replacement for Williams and would be a potential first-round tackle in a normal class. So, getting him in Round 2 could turn into a good value.
