Offensive Tackle (4)

Morgan Moses, Saahdiq Charles, Cornelius Lucas, Timon Parris

The first three tackles seem like easy choices to me. Morgan Moses is the team’s only returning starting tackle, and even though he was a target of vitriol for his inconsistent play in 2019, he’s a necessary piece of the offense in 2020.

Saahdiq Charles, the team’s fourth-round rookie, will be given a chance to start opposite of Moses, out of the gate, and now that Trent Williams is out of the picture, Charles will have an opportunity to carry on the torch at left tackle. Cornelius Lucas is also there for added insurance, as he can man both tackle spots.

The wild card here is the fourth tackle spot. It’s possible that the Redskins could simply keep two starters and a swing tackle in Lucas, but given some of the uncertainty here, I think it’s smart to pick a fourth. Jacob picked Geron Christian here, but I’m going to go with Timon Parris. Parris has been more consistent and shown more upside in preseason games, and he’s had a few years to hone his craft.
