With the No. 162 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins have selected Michigan LB Khaleke Hudson.
Hudson will be a great addition to the roster, as he presents a solid player who can play at both the OLB and safety position when asked to do so.
The Redskins were in need of an OLB prospect coming into the draft, and one of their other lesser needs was at safety as well. In a single pick, Washington got a positionless defender who can roam the middle of the field and act as a run-stopper in the second level as well.
With Sean Davis added at FS in free agency, the Redskins obviously wanted to add a bit of depth to their secondary and have a nice piece that they can mold going forward.
Something to note with Hudson is his proficiency on special teams as well, where he blocked five punts at Michigan in college.
One trend we’ve seen in the Redskins’ strategy this offseason is building for depth, and makings sure that they are covered if any one player goes down with an injury. Husdon continues that line of thinking.
