Top 25 Washington Big Board

Months of anticipation for Washington fans have led up to tonight, when Day 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft kicks off. After dropping 22 Draft Player Prospect Cards, it's time again for our annual Top 25 Big Board (only fits in Washington). The first criteria for our Big Board is we left out prospects who we believe won't be available at #19, thus will not be listed. Second, positions like DT and DE won't be listed, for obvious reasons. The listed prospects draft rankings range betwe

The East Carolina OT Would be a Day 3 Steal for Washington

By Adam Aniba Draft Prospect Spotlight; D'Ante Smith Washington's blindside hasn't recovered since the loss of Trent Williams. This is new territory for The WFT after having dominant LT's decade after decade. With Chris Samuels and Williams being the most recent blue chip LT's at the position, there's a real possibility that Ron Rivera could select a tackle at #19. Unfortunately, odds are that the draft's Tier-1 tackles will likely be off the board when Washington's first sel

Reuniting the Memphis Duo in Washington

By Adam Aniba Draft Prospect Spotlight; Kenneth Gainwell Washington waited until Round 3 of the 2020 draft to address the need at running back by selecting Antonio Gibson, who was predominately used in the receiving game while at Memphis. Used as a two-headed attack, along with J.D. McKissic, the duo had marginal success in 2020 (1,996 total yards with 14 td's combined). Both Gibson and McKissic are sure to have their roles as receiving backs increased going forward. Although

A Small Schooler Draft Journey; Jeremy Bell

By Adam Aniba Small School Spotlight; Jeremy Bell Washington heads into the NFL Draft in a better situation at cornerback than in 2020 with recently signed William Jackson III added to the fold with Kendall Fuller. In 2019, Washington drafted small school standout, Jimmy Moreland in the 7th round and 2021 will be a pivotal "prove it" year, along with former HBCU stand out Danny Johnson who was re-signed. Continuing the trend of projecting small school talent to Washington, Th

Long Could Be a Red Zone Threat for Washington

By Adam Aniba Draft Prospect Spotlight Washington heads into the 2021 draft with the tall task ahead of solidifying an offense that ranked 30th of 32 teams in the NFL. After signing journeyman and former college quarterback, Logan Thomas, Washington passed on drafting a tight end altogether in 2020. Fans were left scratching their heads and wondering if the coaches saw something in Thomas that most other teams didn't. The results were undeniable after Thomas finished the seas

Carman Fits a Need on the O-Line for Washington

By Adam Aniba Draft Prospect Spotlight; Jackson Carman Washington's blindside hasn't recovered since the loss of Trent Williams. This is new territory for the Burgundy & Gold after having dominant LT's decade after decade with Chris Samuels and Williams being the most recent blue chip at the position. There is a very real possibility that Ron Rivera could select a tackle at #19, but odds are the draft's top 3 LT's, will likely be off the board when Washington's first selectio

The Former JUCO Star Could Help Solidify the Run Game in Washington

By Adam Aniba Draft Prospect Spotlight; Rhamondre Stevenson Washington waited until Round 3 of the 2020 draft to address running back by drafting Antonio Gibson, who was predominately used in the receiving game while at Memphis. Used as a two-headed attack along with J.D. McKissic, the duo had marginal success in 2020. Both Gibson and McKissic are best utilized in the passing game, although Gibson showed the upside to be a dominant runner in 2020. If Ron Rivera's past in Caro

Mac McCain Could Be the Next HBCU Star in Washington

By Adam Aniba Small School Spotlight; Franklin "Mac" McCain III Washington wasted little time in free agency in addressing their need at cornerback after losing Ronald Darby (signed with Denver) by signing William Jackson III. Early indications are that along with Jackson, CB#2 Kendall Fuller could bounce between the slot, outside and even safety in subpackages. There is little doubt that Ron Rivera will look to add another athletic, play-making corner at some point during th

Washington Could Add Another Tar Heel Linebacker

By Adam Aniba Draft Prospect Spotlight; Chazz Surratt As Washington heads into the offseason as defending NFC East champions, the focus will be on upgrading offensive skill positions, in addition to signing/drafting another quarterback. Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio was able to turn a bottom-of-the-league defensive unit in 2019 to a top 5 ranked defensive unit in 2020. Much of the team success is attributed to the play of Montez Sweat and DROA Chase Young along with a st

The Sleeper from Ole Miss is a Fit for Washington

By Adam Aniba Draft Prospect Spotlight; Kenny Yeboah In some ways, Washington exceeded expectations in the passing game in 2020. After starting 4 different quarterbacks and a slew of receivers opposite Terry McLaurin, they generated enough offense to stay competitive in many of their games. After signing journeyman and former college quarterback, Logan Thomas, Washington passed on drafting a tight end altogether in 2020. Fans were left scratching their heads and wondering if

Stevenson Could be the Burner Washington is Looking for on Day 3

By Adam Aniba Draft Prospect Spotlight; Marquez Stevenson The situation at wide receiver for the WFT is, arguably, one of the top rosters needs this offseason. Luckily for Washington, this year's crop is deep with a ton of talent at slot receiver. For the second year in a row, Terry McLaurin led the team in all receiving categories and it wasn't close. The additions of Curtis Samuel and Adam Humphries should lead to more big play opportunities in the receiving game for new Wa
