Washington Redskins: 5 Second-Round Options In 2017 NFL Draft

The Washington Redskins currently have the 49th selection in the 2017 NFL Draft, now who could they take with the second-round pick?

The Washington Redskins have done a good job in free agency, filling some holes on a team that just missed getting to the playoffs for the second straight season. While the Redskins lost their two best wide receivers from a year in Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson, they added Terrelle Pryor and Brian Quick — not to mention, last year’s first-round pick, Josh Docton, should be good to go in 2017.

Defensively, the Redskins were a mess in 2016. Actually, they’ve been a mess on that side of the ball for several years. A big part of the problem is lackluster talent on the defensive line and a lack of speed at linebacker.

Zach Brown’s addition will bring speed to the inside linebacker position. Stacy McGee and Terrell McClain will help the defensive line, but that position clearly needs more attention. This draft is quite deep along the defensive line, specifically from the second round on.

If the Redskins choose to go the best player available in round one, then all options are on the table with their second-round pick. Could they choose to add some talent to a depleted defensive line?

Or will Washington add more offensive weapons? What about a quarterback?
