Washington Football Team Mock Draft: A franchise QB finally arrives

The Washington Football Team needs a reboot, and they attack all those needs in this 2022 Mock Draft.

Though they are still in the hunt for a potential playoff berth, the Washington Football Team will soon be picking new players in the 2022 NFL Draft.

With six picks at their disposal, Washington will now look to the draft to find players that can help them return to the top of the division as they did, albeit miraculously, in 2020. Several positions need addressing, none more important than quarterback, which has been a revolving door in the nation’s capital.

Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins, Kyle Allen, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Taylor Heinicke are just a couple of names that can be brought up. However, Heinicke has played significantly well at times, including the playoff loss to Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But long-term stability is the name of the game.

Defensively, there is enough talent there that doesn’t warrant high draft capital investment but still needs reinforcements. Chase Young and Jonathan Allen form a powerful duo on the front line. Safety Kamren Curl and cornerback William Jackson are patrolling the back end quite well.

There could be some improvement in linebacker-wise, but Jamin Davis was just picked in the first round a year ago, so he will need some time to develop, but his upside cannot be ignored.

That said, it’s time to move in a new direction and nail down the gaps. Here is a look at what the Washington Football Team will likely do in April, starting in Round 1 by bringing in a player that caught the attention of college football late and has risen draft boards quickly.
