Washington Football Team: Three options in the first round in 2021

The Washington Football Team can significantly improve with one of these moves in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. 

Selecting 19th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Washington Football Team has endless possibilities when it comes to their draft spot and selection.

They’re sitting in the late teens, in a first round that’ll likely have a litter of high-level talent and young men who can be day one contributors for this team in 2021.

Washington can go a plethora of routes, from drafting one of the most polished wideouts at No. 19 in Minnesota’s Rashod Bateman, to selecting the swiss-army knife of a linebacker in Notre Dame’s Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, to moving up or down from their original position in the first round.

While the Washington Football Team needs upgrades in their linebacker room and a significant wideout option opposite of Terry McLaurin, there’s not a selection in this draft that’ll make the impact of a surefire QB1.

With enough capital in terms of player assets and draft picks, Washington can be a prime trade-up target, should they be interested in a top QB in this class, or they can explore the trade market to find their answer.

But with endless opportunity, must come a home-run in Round 1. There must be a selection in the first round that sets the tone for this team going forward in 2021, someone who must be able to make an impact from day one.

No matter how you value the holes on this roster, the fact is, this team is still a couple of pieces away from being a serious contender in the NFC. Therefore emphasizing the importance of making the right decision on April 29th.

There are three ways the Washington Football Team can maximize their value with the No. 19 overall pick. Whether it be trading up, trading back, or staying home and selecting a surefire difference-maker at a position of need, the Washington Football Team holds the keys for first-round success in 2021.
