Pick Analysis. Mac Jones. 19. Scouting Report. QB. Alabama. player. 58
The Washington Football Team needs help under center, especially after releasing Dwayne Haskins. While they made this move knowing he wasn’t the answer, it still means they need to get someone in there who can be the guy. Alex Smith has been a great comeback story and Kyle Allen clearly has the trust of Ron Rivera, but they need a future.
With that being said, they land Mac Jones here out of Alabama. There might not be a consensus that Jones is a first-round pick but the Football Team needs a future signal-caller they can believe in. He could be that for them and fits the style of passer Rivera seems to be looking for in D.C.
20. 57. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Rashod Bateman. player. WR. Minnesota
They backed in but still made the postseason as the No. 7 seed in the AFC. The Chicago Bears loss to the Packers in Week 17 hurt their chances but the Rams beating the Arizona Cardinals allowed them to sneak in anyway.
Chicago continues to stay relevant due to their defense but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t continue to add to their offense, especially since some of their top wideouts are set for free agency. Assuming they lose some firepower, they decide to re-stock the shelves here with the selection of Rashod Bateman from Minnesota. He’s a physical receiver with great size and hands and could develop into a legit go-to receiver.
