During the first half of the 2018 NFL season, the Washington Redskins were the class of the NFC East, leading the division through the halfway mark. However, during their game against the Houston Texans, quarterback Alex Smith saw his leg snapped in half, and with it, came any hope of the team actually winning the division.

Looking forward to next season, Smith has already been ruled out, and the team has decided to bring in Case Keenum to take over as a starting quarterback. While Keenum has shown that he can be good in spurts at the NFL level, he is not a long-term answer at the position, and they should look to bring in a signal-caller with the No. 15 overall pick.

While some people do not believe that he is a first round talent, Daniel Jones is a name that is starting to get floated around a lot, and the Giants may take him at No. 17 overall. However, he may not make it that far, as he would be a solid fit in Washington with head coach Jay Gruden.

The Redskins do have the talent to be a solid team next season, and it will be interesting to see how Keenum does in his first season under center in our Nation’s Capital. If they decide to give Keenum the year to start, and bring in Jones to sit behind him, they may finally have their long-term answer at the quarterback position, and that would be the best thing for this organization moving forward.
