2019 NFL Mock Draft: Kyler Murray climbs in Post-combine two-round projection
By Randy Gurzi
15. Washington Redskins: N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State
The Washington Redskins are hoping that Alex Smith can come back in 2019, but it’s not seeming likely that he will. The veteran quarterback saw his first season with Washington end prematurely as he suffered a gruesome broken leg in a game against the Houston Texans.
Then again, if things shake out like some are suggesting this may not even be a worry. One scenario is that the Redskins could end up being the landing spot for Josh Rosen after Arizona lands Kyler Murray. If that comes to fruition, Washington needs to add better talent around Rosen than he had in the desert, which is why they take ASU’s N’Keal Harry — who is one of the best receiver prospects in this class.
We already knew coming into the combine that the 6-foot-4 Sun Devil was strong, but he proved just how powerful he was on Friday when he pushed out 27 reps on the bench press at the combine. He’s the exact type of receiver the Redskins have needed for years and should become their top target very quickly.
Harry does need to expand his route tree as he was often used in screen passes at ASU where they simply relied on his power to knock over smaller corners and his agility to make others miss.
