Redskins select DE James Smith Williams with pick No. 229 in 2020 NFL Draft

With their final pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins have selected DE James Smith Williams, from NC State.

Any pick in the seventh round is going to be considered a bit of a flier on a guy with high-upside, and that’s exactly what the Redskins got here with Smith Williams.

The Redskins have now bookended their 2020 draft with picks at the DE position, though the first one taken was much more pristine than the last. While it may not seem like Washington has a need for DE, the Redskins are obviously drafting for depth at this point, and they like what Smitt Williams brought to the table.
