Redskins finally make the NFL draft grade in Mel Kiper Jr.s estimation

Posted by Patria Henriques on Tuesday, July 9, 2024

This was a mixed draft, with some really good value in a couple spots, questionable value in others, a big need hit, but another couple that weren’t. First of all, I like the fact that Washington moved down. I consider this a deep draft, and the Redskins have struggled with roster depth in recent years due to the Robert Griffin III deal. Give yourself more chances to get good players. In Trent Murphy the Redskins got a productive pass-rusher, they just didn’t get the best one available at that spot based on my board. I don’t agree completely with Todd that Murphy could have been available in Round 4, but I did think he could be around a little later. Morgan Moses represented good value in Round 3, but he needs work because the measurables are better than the player. He could be a solution at right tackle however, and boy do they need one. The Spencer Long pick was a bit of a puzzler. I saw him going later, as he’s coming off a season-ending knee injury. Bashaud Breeland could be a good value at CB, and Lache Seastrunk is extremely explosive for a player taken that late in the draft — he can be better if he stays more north and south. I wish the Skins would have added a safety, and maybe targeted CB earlier. This draft also represents the end of the RG III deal. We’ll welcome Washington back to Round 1 next year.
