With the Redskins (3-6) in the second half of a lost season, it’s time to look at their draft prospects. Who will be around when the Redskins pick, presumably between No. 5 and No. 10 overall? Here are five possibilities that would fill a need:
Recommended Stories
1. OT Trent Williams (Oklahoma) » The 6-5, 320-pound offensive tackle would address a major need, possibly stepping in for Chris Samuels, a tackle of similar size and pedigree.
2. QB Colt McCoy (Texas) » Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) will probably be gone by the time Washington picks. That could leave Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame), if he declares, or McCoy as options. McCoy has been likened to Drew Brees. Comparisons of this kind often are odious.
3. OT Russell Okung (Oklahoma State) » Both Williams and Okung (6-6, 305) are ranked in the top 10, the consensus top two linemen in the draft. One of them should be around if the Redskins pick in the top 10.
4. CB Joe Haden (Florida) » The best corner in the draft is a homegrown product of Friendly High in Ft. Washington. It’s hardly a compliment, but he’d be an upgrade from Carlos Rogers, whose contract expires this year.
5. QB Tim Tebow (Florida) » If the Redskins take Tebow, it would be a reach, but who would really be surprised, especially if owner Dan Snyder is running the War Room.
