2019 NFL mock draft: Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins go early

The Washington Redskins looked to be in control in the NFC East last season, holding onto first place towards the middle of the year. However, once quarterback Alex Smith went down with a season-ending injury, it was all over, as the team had to turn to the likes of Mark Sanchez and Josh Johnson.

Smith’s injury was so bad that he was ruled out for 2019 as well, which meant the team would have to be active in bringing in a quarterback for the second straight offseason. While they could have waited until the draft, and try and move up and get a guy, they instead decided to trade for former Denver Broncos starter Case Keenum.

Keenum will battle it out with Colt McCoy for the starting job this season, and with the No. 15 overall pick in round one, they should bring in a weapon on the outside for whoever starts. In this draft class, D.K. Metcalf could be the first wideout off the board, and he would be a solid fit in this Washington offense.

Metcalf put on an absolute show at the combine, but he has never been too productive at the college level. That should change in Washington, where he will get to show off his fantastic physical abilities, and Keenum loves to throw the ball deep. Keenum should be the starter, and Metcalf his No. 1.
