NFL Draft Day 3

Round 4, Pick 19 (121): TE Charlie Kolar, Iowa State

Kolar has averaged 47.5 catches for 644 yards and seven touchdowns per season in his last two campaigns playing for Matt Campbell’s Cyclones. He’s another well-coached player and his 6-foot-6, 257-pound frame gives him prototypical size at the position.

Kolar would be a nice option to pair with Logan Thomas and would certainly be an upgrade over his backups Jeremy Sprinkle and Temarrick Hemingway. He’s worth a shot at this point in the fourth round.

Round 5: Pick 19 (160): RB Trey Sermon, Ohio State

Is running back a huge need for Washington? Not necessarily, but unless you want to rely on Bryce Love staying healthy or Peyton Barber as a top backup behind Antonio Gibson, it would probably be good to add another talented player to the RB room.

Sermon would qualify. He has averaged 6.5 yards per carry during his collegiate career and has a bruising 6-foot-1, 215-pound frame. He showed off his physical style during his 331-yard performance against Northwestern. He could be an upgrade over Barber as a short-yardage option and would continue to add upside to the Washington offense.

Round 7, Pick 17 (239): LB Paddy Fisher, Northwestern

Fisher has four years of starter experience under Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern. What he lacks in terms of athletic ability he makes up for in instincts, physicality, and production. He has averaged 100 tackles per year and is 6-foot-4, 240 pounds. He may be best served as a two-down run stopper, but adding a thumper to produce as a situational defender and special teamer is never a bad thing.

Round 7, Pick 19 (241): OL Stewart Reese, Florida

Consider Reese a potential replacement for Wes Martin, or at least competition for the third-year man. Reese is a 6-foot-6, 350-pound blocker who should be a great run blocker at the next level. He’s not particularly athletic, but between him and fellow Florida product Sharpe, Washington could have some seriously big depth on the O-Line.
