2020 NFL Draft: Washington Redskins 7-round mock
By John Buhler
Fifth Round
Scouting Report. Gabriel Davis. 148. player. 886. Pick Analysis. WR. UCF Knights
Washington found great success by drafting Terry McLaurin out of Ohio State last year. Perhaps they can find a late-round gem in arguably the deepest wide receiver class in NFL Draft history? The Redskins might end up taking Gabriel Davis out of UCF with the No. 148 pick in the fifth round. He had 72 catches for 1,241 yards and 12 touchdowns during his senior season in Orlando.
Sixth Round
Washington does not have a sixth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. This stems from a deal with the Denver Broncos ahead of last season, as the Redskins gave up this year’s No. 181 overall pick for journeyman quarterback Case Keenum. After starting a few games last year for Washington, Keenum has signed with the Cleveland Browns to be Baker Mayfield‘s backup in Northeast Ohio.
Seventh Round
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 804. CB. Florida State Seminoles. Levonta Taylor. 216. player
With cornerback being one of their more pressing needs at the latter stages of the draft, Washington could go with a guy like Levonta Taylor out of Florida State with the No. 216 pick in the seventh round. Though undersized at 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds, Rivera might be willing to take a late-round flier on a defensive player who played at a traditional power, albeit a down one.
TCU Horned Frogs. 229. 872. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. RB. Darius Anderson. player
Washington has three remaining draft needs entering their last pick this year at No. 229 overall in the seventh round. While they could go with an interior offensive lineman, they might want to go with Niang’s TCU teammate in running back Darius Anderson. Though never a 1,000-yard rusher, Anderson had 2,418 rushing yards on 430 carries for 18 touchdowns during his four years at TCU.
