Ranking every NFL team’s offensive supporting cast post-draft
32. Washington Redskins
RB: Adrian Peterson, Derrius Guice, Antonio Gibson, Peyton Barber (15/25)
The Washington backfield is full of oft-injured and aging players. While I believe Guice has potential, his inability to stay on the field over the past two seasons does not make up for his college tape. Rookie Antonio Gibson could surprise, but this group is underwhelming at best.

WR: Terry McLaurin, Kelvin Harmon, Steven Sims Jr, Antonio Goldy-Golden (16/25)
This wide receiver core is basically Terry McLaurin and a bunch of unproven talent. Steven Sims Jr. popped in the last four games of the 2019 season and could develop into a solid slot receiver, but Harmon and Goldy-Golden are unknowns. McLaurin was outstanding as a rookie and makes this group somewhat respectable, but they are by far one of the worst overall receiver units in the league.
TE: Jeremy Sprinkle, Richard Rodgers (8/25)
After Jordan Reed was released and Vernon Davis retired, many expected Washington to go after a big name at tight end; they, unfortunately, did not. Sprinkle was the Redskins’ third-string tight end last year and Rodgers didn’t even play a snap in 2019. Both of these tight ends would have trouble making a roster anywhere else.
Offensive Line: Cornelius Lucas, Wes Schweitzer, Chase Roullier, Brandon Scherff, Morgan Moses (12/25)
The Washington offensive line was abysmal last season, giving up 50 sacks and 97 QB hits, which ranked 28th and 23rd in the NFL respectively. Instead of making their line a priority in the offseason, they traded away arguably their best lineman and didn’t address the need until the fourth round of the draft. Given their only free-agent addition was a young reserve player, they deserve horrific marks for this group.
Total Score: 51/100
Summary: The Redskins have one solid offensive player: Terry McLaurin. The rest of the group are either old, injured, or have yet to show promise. Dwayne Haskins will have a tough time improving this season with the worst supporting cast in the league.
