2018 NFL Draft: Washington Redskins 7-round mock

Round 4 – Pick 115

Deadrin Senat, DT, South Florida

The Redskins finally address the defensive tackle position in the fourth round. They got what most thought was a steal with Jonathan Allen in the first round a year ago. The talented Alabama product was considered by many to be a top five talent and fell to Washington at pick 17. He suffered a foot injury in Week 6 and missed the remainder of the season. His return should help but the team needs to address their front line.

Deadrin Senat would provide excellent value for Washington int he fourth round. The stocky defensive tackle is an excellent player that is getting lost in the shuffle of a very deep defensive tackle class. Senat decided to play for South Florida despite an earlier commitment to Florida State, so he is not some small school wonder.

Senat pairs a powerful and thick frame with strong hands. This makes him a handful in the run game, despite below average length. His power off the line and instincts once into the backfield make him a perfect gap player at the next level. The fact that he has a non-stop motor will also highlight his strengths.

Again, this pick could be used on a wide receiver or running back. Both of those positions offer more depth at this point and will be addressed later in the draft. Washington need a much better defense than they put on the field a year ago, and it starts with their first three picks.
