Washington Redskins: 7-Round 2020 mock draft brings superstar in Chase Young

Given the tumultuous situation with Trent Williams that seems unlikely to be resolved, even with Bruce Allen and Jay Gruden out of the picture, the Redskins severely need to address the offensive line. Doing so with an early second-round pick would have been nice but, alas, that’s not an option for this team with the picks they own in the 2020 NFL Draft. Thus, they take Josh Jones out of Houston to try and address the massive need.

Jones is a physical marvel at 6-7, 310 pounds and checks every box in terms of his tools to be a successful edge-setter on an offensive line. However, the Houston product needs a ton of coaching on his technique, both in regards to his footwork and hand usage — and also not excluding his awareness.

Even still, getting a player with his potential at a position of dire need in early Round 3 is a move Washington needs to make.

You have to think that the Washington Redskins are going to invest in getting Dwayne Haskins some weapons to throw to that aren’t Terry McLaurin. Though his former Ohio State teammate had a tremendous rookie season, the work done around him — save for a few splash plays from Steven Sims Jr. — left a lot to be desired. Enter Michael Pittman Jr. out of USC.

Pittman is an absolute monster physically, measuring in at 6-4, 220 pounds. While he’s not a burner in terms of his speed, he is tremendously adept at using his size to make plays both down the field and in the middle of the defense. As such, he’d be a nice complement opposite of McLaurin to help Haskins continue to grow into the hopeful quarterback of the future in Washington.
