Redskins 2018 Draft - Best Player Available or Need?

NCAA Football: CFP National Championship Game-Alabama vs Georgia Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

This morning, I posted an article about the biggest positions of need for the 2018 Redskins. In that article, I posted a poll asking “What Position are the Redskins lacking Most”? As of 7pm this evening, here are the results of that poll. You can link to the article here:

Defensive Line - 43%

Running Back - 29%

Guard/Center - 20%

Cornerback - 4%

Safety - 2%

Linebacker - 1%

Over 1,700 votes were cast, and over 735 people felt that defensive line was the biggest remaining need for the Redskins.

Now that you’ve had a look at what our fan base views as our biggest need, it’s time for a draft scenario to see how we match that need with some available players in the draft.


Draft Scenario:

#1 - Browns: Sam Darnold QB USC

#2 - Giants: Saquon Barkley RB PSU

#3 - Jets: Josh Rosen QB UCLA

#4 - Browns: Bradley Chubb EDGE NC State

#5 - Broncos: Josh Allen QB Wyoming

#6 - Colts: Quenton Nelson G ND

#7 - Buccaneers: Denzel Ward CB Ohio St

#8 - Bears: Tremaine Edmunds LB Va Tech

#9 - 49ers: Derwin James S Florida St.

#10 - Raiders: Vita Vea DT Washington

#11 - Dolphins: Minkah Fitzpatrick DB Alabama

#12 - Bills: Baker Mayfield QB Oklahoma


My Best 10 Available:

Roquan Smith LB Georgia

Marcus Davenport EDGE UTSA

Calvin Ridley WR Alabama

Jaire Alexander CB Louisville

Mike McGlinchey OT ND

Derrius Guice RB LSU

Maurice Hurst DT Michigan

Lamar Jackson QB Louisville

Harold Landry EDGE BC

Isaiah Wynn OG Georgia
