Christian Kirk

Wide Receiver, Texas A&M

The Washington Redskins had a rough offseason, and still do not have a contract for quarterback Kirk Cousins. Despite all of that, they have gotten off to a fast start to the 2017 season, and are currently in line to pick very late in round one. The NFC East is going to be beat each other up this season, but as of right now, the Redskins are the class of one of the deeper divisions in the NFL.

This past offseason, the Redskins let a bunch of their offensive playmakers go via free agency. Included in that group was wide receiver DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, so it is time to reload at the position. They did bring in Terrell Pryor Sr. to soften the blow, but they need a true WR1 for Cousins moving forward.

Christian Kirk is an exciting player, and is going to be a very productive wideout at the next level. Kirk can stretch the field as well as anybody in this draft class, and Cousins has the arm to get him the ball. The Redskins have been a pleasant surprise this season, as their defense has really stepped up, so expect them to add to their offensive weaponry next April.
