Washington Football Team Mock Draft: What drafting Kyle Trask looks like
Washington Football Team Round 1 pick
The Washington Football Team in this mock draft is sitting pretty at No. 19 overall, there as a prime candidate for a possible trade back scenario.
In this case, Washington trades back with the New York Jets. The Jets move up to No. 19 to select Michigan EDGE Kwity Paye, while Washington trades back and accumulates an extra pick for their service.
After the trade back, Washington has their choice between Notre Dame’s Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Tulsa’s Zaven Collins, Ole Miss’s Elijah Moore, and USC’s Alijah Vera-Tucker.
With uncertainty surrounding the long-term status of Brandon Scherff in Washington combined with a necessary upgrade needed at Left Guard, Washington selects a future Pro-Bowler along their offensive line.
Alijah Vera-Tucker. 23. 58. OL. . USC. player.
Selecting Alijah Vera-Tucker immediately raises the ceiling of Washington’s offensive line, it makes this unit among the absolute best in all of the NFL. Vera-Tucker is arguably the top plug-and-play prospect in this class, which gives you versatility along the line in addition to high-level play and consistency.
Through 28 career games, AVT allowed only five sacks, three hits, and eight hurries. He will work best in Washington’s zone-blocking scheme, as he has fantastic second-level blocking ability in the run game and is polished as a pass protector.
This may not be the “sexy” pick, but it’s a pick that’ll pay huge dividends down the line for Washington. They’ll add a player who can play anywhere from tackle to guard, who’s tried and tested as a player. Vera-Tucker can come in and make a difference along the offensive line from the moment he walks the stage on April 29.
