With an eye towards the 2020 NFL Draft already, the Washington Redskins should start looking at their roster and determining what some of their biggest needs are going forward.
With a projected pick that’s high on the board, it’s unlikely that the team will draft for need early in the first round when it makes more sense to take the best player available. That will likely be Chase Young, a dynamic and generational pass-rusher out of Ohio State. However, in the rounds after that, the Redskins need to do the best they can to fill out their roster and find guys that fit their needs.
According to Pro Football Focus, that means they need to draft offensive lineman above anything else.
With no more Trent Williams and Brandon Scherff hitting free agency, the Redskins offensive line went from strength to liability in the blink of an eye. Left tackle, left guard and right guard all need addressing.
You could argue whether or not the Redskins really have a hole to fill at left guard, as Ereck Flowers has been surprisingly good this season, but there are still several places in the front five that need improving. After a top-talent is taken in the first round, look for Washington to focus mainly on the big boys upfront.
