Round 7

The situation remains the same for the Washington Football Team in Round 7. Washington has two picks at No. 244 and No. 246. Since these picks are almost back-to-back, I’ll give one board of available players, and you’ll be tasked with choosing two of them. Then, we’ll close out the mock and look back at our selections.

Here’s the board of players available for the Washington Football Team in Round 7.

There are a lot of intriguing options here. Two names quickly stood out to me, however. One was Illinois State safety Christian Uphoff. Uphoff showed some promise at the Senior Bowl, and at 6-foot-3, 213, he has the size and short-range explosiveness to potentially translate into a hybrid WILL linebacker-box safety role. If not, he looks like a very good special teams candidate.

My second pick, meanwhile, is Iowa State RB Kene Nwangwu. Behind standout sophomore Breece Hall, Nwangwu was more of a rotational back for the Cyclones. But he was fairly efficient in that role, and he offers excellent athletic upside. At 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, Nwangwu logged a 4.31 40-yard dash, a 37-inch vertical, a 125-inch broad jump, and a 6.84 three-cone time at his pro day.
