Washington Football Team Mock Draft: What drafting Kyle Trask looks like
Washington Football Team Round 3 picks
Kentucky. Jamin Davis. 66. player. 58. . LB.
Washington’s first selection in the third round will be from the pick they received from the New York Jets. Pick 66 is one where Washington selects the steal of the draft in Kentucky LB Jamin Davis.
Davis stands 6-foot-4, 234 pounds, who plays as physical as he looks. A willing tackler and leader of Kentucky’s defense, Davis has all the tools to become one of the better linebackers in the NFL.
Because of the physical freak that is Davis, he’s projecting to be a WILL LB in the Rivera-Del Rio 4-3 defense. Davis has raw traits and tools that project him to be a real issue for opposing offenses, as he has fantastic sideline to sideline range, who is willingly physical as a tackler, with fantastic coverage ability and instincts.
Davis is a bit raw in run support and has only had one true year of production, but Davis has so much talent that Washington would salivate at the opportunity of selecting this big of an upgrade over the departed Kevin Pierre-Louis.
DB. Oregon. Jevon Holland. player. . . 74. 58
Washington’s second pick in the third round comes from the trade they made last year with the San Francisco 49ers. Washington selects one of the most versatile defensive backs in the class, someone who can play in their coveted three safety looks or out in the slot as a corner.
Holland opted out in 2020 but has played a multitude of positions while at Oregon. He bounced around as a safety primarily during his freshman year, while his sophomore season showed him to play a bunch at slot corner.
Nonetheless, Holland is extremely talented and versatile, with true high-level instincts in coverage while being a willing tackler. His instincts and play in coverage proved to be true, as in two seasons as a Duck he has 11 pass breakups and nearly 10 interceptions.
He can play anywhere on that side of the football, from safety to slot corner, and with the continuous playmaking ability he’s shown, I’d even give him some playing time in the box.
. RB. Michael Carter. 82 . player. 58. . North Carolina
The Washington Football Team has one final pick in the third round, and after going back to back with defensive selections, here they add an elusive receiving back in UNC’s Michael Carter.
Running back isn’t a major need for this team, but with J.D. McKissic entering the final year of his contract and now entering his age 28 season, Washington could look for a cheap replacement who offers a similar skill set.
Washington could lean towards adding more of a thumper in the run game, someone who can fill in the role of Peyton Barber, but adding a Michael Carter could bring in another elusive and dynamic back who can complement the power and receiving ability of Antonio Gibson. While Gibson has familiarity as a receiver, Washington loves his speed and vision in the open field as a running back.
Carter had three seasons at UNC with at least 21 catches, he has true next-level speed and elusive, but also runs with some ferocity despite weighing a hair under 200 pounds. The pick of Carter adds another dynamic option in the backfield, that could leave defenses guessing regardless of who is out there.
