Washington Redskins 2020 NFL Draft Grades
By Matt Murray
Grading each pick made by the Washington Redskins in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Earlier this offseason, the Washington Redskins, and new head coach Ron Rivera started to fill the holes across their roster. They started with cornerback where they signed both Kendall Fuller and Ronald Darby. Then they went to work to fill out the depth of the running back room adding Peyton Barber and JD McKissic. The final two moves of free agency came in the linebacker room resigning Jon Bostic and adding Thomas Davis to a one year deal.
The Redskins 2020 NFL Draft needs
As the free agency period began to slow down it was time to move on to draft needs. The Washington Redskins began to look at 2020 NFL Draft prospects at the following positions; linebacker, safety, cornerback, tackle, guard, wide receiver and tight end.
This long list was a mixture of players they needed for the future, like at linebacker where they had just signed two short term deals mentioned above, and also positions that needed to be filled as soon as possible such as tackle, wide receiver and safety.
