Round 4
Either:
Kellen Mond, Quarterback, Texas A&M – 6-3, 215
Football analyst Chris Sims thinks highly of Kellen Mond and says that it wouldn’t surprise him if the Texas A&M quarterback is selected in the first round. That is high praise indeed, but it is not overly realistic.
However, Mond does generate a fair amount of positive analysis and the Washington Football Team could find a quarterback gem in the fourth round. After regressing a bit in 2019, Mond played well in 2020 against quality teams in the SEC. He could be a solid starter within a year and a possible franchise quarterback in the making.
Or:
Jamie Newman, Quarterback, Wake Forest – 6-4, 230
Here is our most recent profile and analysis on Jamie Newman.
"If the Washington Football Team fails to secure a quarterback in free agency or in the early rounds of the draft, they may need to invest in a player who will need to sit on the bench for a year. He will then work his way to becoming a franchise quarterback for the Burgundy and Gold. That quarterback could be Jamie Newman."
Taking a flyer on a low floor/high ceiling prospect like Newman makes all the sense in the world at that point.
Verdict: When Jamie Newman decided to opt-out for 2020 (COVID) and not play at Georgia, that hurt his draft status. Mond is intriguing and would be the right choice here.
