Mark Tyler’s Redskins Post-Senior Bowl Big Board

Every year, college prospects rise and fall after the Senior Bowl. The underclassmen, without an all-star game, will most likely remain the same until after the NFL Scouting Combine. For many of these upper-classmen however, this past week in Mobile, Alabama was a week to showcase their talents, compete against some of the nation’s best, and prove they belong.

The Redskins have many needs heading into the offseason. I below is a break-down of our needs ranked into two tiers, with the top tier being our more pressing/immediate needs, and the lower tier being our tertiary needs.

Tier 1:

QB - This is dependent upon what happens with Kirk Cousins as free agency nears

ILB - This unit could use an impact, sideline-to-sideline player who can stay on the field all three downs.

RB - It’s been years since the Redskins have had a complete, Bell-Cow running back. It’s no coincidence that our running game has been below average for a while too.

FS - The Redskins have been without a true impact free safety for years. Nicholson has the talent, but durability remains a huge question mark.

DT - Another difference maker to pair with Jonathan Allen is a must.

Tier 2:

OG - An upgrade at left guard would make this unit much stronger up front.

WR - Recent draft picks and free agency have not provided us with answers.

TE - Jordan Reed can’t stay on the field, and when he is out there, he provides no blocking skills in the running game.

Below is my Big Board based on value vs. need for the Redskins heading into this offseason. Keep in mind that needs will most likely change once free agency is underway. I have rated the top players at the positions of need for the Redskins for prospects I believe will fall between rounds 1-3.
