Round 3, No. 66 Overall: Tylan Wallace, WR, Oklahoma State

The Redskins added an elite offensive lineman to help keep Haskins upright in the future and help out the run game, and now it’s time to add more weapons to the offense. 2019 third round pick Terry McLaurin looks like he can be a focal point in the offense with his speed and excellent route running ability.

But, he can’t do it all. This wide receiver class is very deep and it shouldn’t be hard to find more playmakers in the third round of this coming draft. Here, the Redskins add Tylan Wallace, who is a very good deep threat with great hands and the ability to play above the rim in contested situations. Wallace and McLaurin could be a very nice duo for Haskins.

Round 4, No. 98 Overall: Cam Akers, RB, Florida State

The running back position in Washington is kind of up in the air right now. Second year running back Derrius Guice is hurt once again, and even though he has a ton of talent, you have to be able to stay on the field. Adrian Peterson is getting up there in age and Chris Thompson is a passing down back.

With such a deep running back class, adding someone like Cam Akers is a good idea for the Redskins. Akers is a good blend of speed and power at the running back position, and he brings plenty of athleticism to the able. He does sometimes get too impatient, frequently looking to bounce runs outside, but more development could turn him into a very solid starter.
