The Washington Redskins were in trouble when it came to the quarterback spot heading into this offseason, as Alex Smith was already ruled out for the 2019 season. Smith saw his leg get shattered in half during the team’s game against the Houston Texans last season, ending his season, and possibly his NFL career.

This past week, the Redskins went out and filled that void, as they brought in Case Keenum from the Denver Broncos. Keenum will likely battle it out with Colt McCoy for the starting job in 2019, but he is more than likely going to win the battle, as McCoy is more of a backup, and Keenum has proven to be a winning starter in the NFL.

Of all the prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine last week, D.K. Metcalf really stood out as a guy who cemented his place in the first round this April. Metcalf is not only in freakishly good shape, but is someone who will be able to absolutely shred defenses at the next level, and this Redskins team needs playmakers.

The Redskins got good production from unlikely sources in 2018, and the hope is that Jay Gruden can get the most out of this team in 2019, as they were in first place in the NFC East for much of the first half of the year. Keenum is going to win them some games, but he needs playmakers, and Metcalf is the best wideout prospect in this draft class.
