3. Washington Redskins

The Redskins already have their franchise quarterback, or at least they hope they do. Dwayne Haskins had his ups and downs as a rookie, but he had little to work with in terms of weapons.

Terry McLaurin was a fine option, but no one else really stepped up as a pass-catcher. Jordan Reed is on his way out the door and there aren’t a ton of upside options on the Washington roster right now.

Robby Anderson would change that, giving the Redskins some game-changing speed at receiver. Haskins, who loves to chuck the ball down the field, would certainly appreciate a big-play weapon like that.

There is no question that the Redskins have a ton of needs, so spending a significant amount of money on Anderson may not be the most sound move. Talent is talent, however, and Anderson would bring a serious talent infusion to the receiver position.

The Redskins know that their future success is contingent on Haskins’ development, and giving him a top-flight receiver like Anderson would be a big help. Anderson may not offer as much proven production as a guy like Amari Cooper would, but his upside is still very high.
