Washington Redskins 2020 NFL Draft: Positional needs and player targets

With the recent removal of Jay Gruden from the Redskins organization, how will Washington change its culture to produce success again?

After this most recent home embarrassment against the New England Patriots, Jay Gruden has finally been removed from the Washington Redskins sideline and a new culture can be installed into a franchise that has spent more than their share of time in the basement of the league.

This post is a comprehensive analysis of the current Washington roster, and what they can do to use what they currently have and what pieces they could acquire to become a competitive team. Also, we will be breaking down each position group on an overall summary, and then suggest the best course of action and possible draft targets that could fill those voids.

This is a team that should be looking to succeed within the next three or four years, not now. Free-agent acquisitions will only harm their cap room and elongate the rebuild process. After covering each side of the ball, I will be giving my take on the direction Washington should strive for on each side of the ball scheme-wise, and what they should focus on based upon their projected personnel and acquisitions.

On a much more broad basis then what will be covered in the following slides, the Redskins offense is a mix of productive veterans and young talent, and the design of their future offense should be based around the skill sets of Haskins and McLaurin.

On the defensive side of the ball, their 3-4 system will continue to serve well with interior producers Allen & Payne, as well as young rookie pass rusher Sweat. The vast majority of their current secondary is in their prime and should be capitalized on before they suffer a downturn in production.
