Ian’s Redskins roster prediction: Surprises at receiver, offensive tackle
By Ian Cummings
Wide Receiver (6)
Terry McLaurin, Steven Sims, Antonio Gandy-Golden, Kelvin Harmon, Trey Quinn, Darvin Kidsy
The first four receivers on this list are all essential locks, with Kelvin Harmon being on a slightly lower tier than the others. Harmon isn’t a great athlete, but he’s tough and he showed promise last year, and in this uncertain position group, I think he’ll be valued depth for Rivera.
After Harmon, it’s anyone’s guess as to who the fifth and sixth receivers for the team will be. Before his incident, Cody Latimer was a widely-selected answer, but I think he has less security now that he has that strike on his record.
Latimer’s setback may be an opportunity for youth to surge into the final opening, and for my final two receivers, I chose two players who both have youth and preexisting experience with the team. Trey Quinn is a reliable slot backup, and Darvin Kidsy has the elite athleticism needed to be a spark-plug in certain situations.
