The Washington Redskins have a lot of questions to be answered this offseason, and one is a question that they thought they took care of last offseason. During the 2018 offseason, Washington traded for, and then extended, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, who was off to a solid start for the team in 2018.

However, Smith had his leg snapped against the Houston Texans towards the middle of the season, and the Redskins saw their first place spot in the NFC East quickly fade away. Smith has already been ruled out for the 2019 season, and you have to think that if the Arizona Cardinals do decide to move on from Josh Rosen, Washington will be in play for the 2018 first round quarterback.

If they do make a move for Rosen, they will obviously not be in the market for a quarterback, and they could even have to trade this pick away. However, adding a wide receiver to the offense makes a lot of sense in the middle of the first round, and A.J. Brown from Ole Miss could be the second wideout off the board.

Brown was a dominant player during his time at Ole Miss, leading the SEC in receiving yards in each of the last two seasons. He may not be as freakish as his teammate, D.K. Metcalf, but he should hear his name called in the first round, and the Redskins would be a nice landing spot for him.
