Re-grading the Washington Football Team’s 2019 NFL Draft performance

Washington struggled to reach the .500 mark once again in 2018 and the 2019 NFL draft presented another chance to add talented players.

Welcome to the final Washington Football Team draft re-grade in our summer series.  We started this process back in the latter days of May and we will close out these retrospectives today.

The 2010 to 2019 timeframe was rather tumultuous for the WFT and most of the drafts were uninspiring, but some prospects along the way have offered fans real and genuine hope for the future.

For most of the past decade, Washington seemed to be confronted with turmoil, poor coaching, horrible front office decisions, and players who lacked focus. In recent years, the hopes and dreams of the future seem to center on draftees from designated collegiate programs that were of championship caliber and dedication to the game of football.

However, adding blue chip players simply couldn’t work with the old team structure – more on that later before we close the series out.

With the 2020 season drawing closer each day, we present this summer series finale with a caveat.  The grade for the 2019 draft will certainly change in a few years and it is possible we will explore the grades once again in the future.  Let’s get right to the 2019 grades and analysis.
