Simulated draft of the Washington football team after Mark Tyler

Defense can STILL win championships, but you’re not winning anything in today’s NFL without a good quarterback game – ask Bruce Arians and Tom Brady …

With NFC East at stake for what looks like a foreseeable future, Washington needs to attack while the iron is hot and take full advantage. This means guaranteeing a defender of the future, while remaining competitive in the present.

Below is my post-Super Bowl mock draft, which includes an exchange between the top 10 so that the Football Team can put your guy in the center!

Before going into detail, I want to share the process I used for this simulated draft. I used online simulator simulations from the Pro Football Network and The Draft Network. I ran scenarios several times, including proposed negotiations, to arrive at the formula below.

I will show you the choices prior to ours that helped to formulate my simulation outline.

---

Pick # 1 (Jaguars): Trevor Lawrence QB Clemson

Pick # 2 (Jets): Justin Fields QB Ohio St.

Pick # 3 (dolphins): Penei Sewell OT Oregon

Pick # 4 (hawks): Zach Wilson QB BYU

Pick # 5 (Bengals): Ja’Marr Chase WR LSU

Pick # 6 (Eagles): DeVonta Smith WR Alabama

Trade:

The Washington Football Team and Detroit Lions agree to an exchange.

Washington receives – Choice # 7

Detroit Receives – Choose # 19, choose # 51, 2022 first

2021 draft of the Washington Football Team:

Round 1 (choose # 7): Trey Lance QB State of North Dakota

– Ron Rivera receives his quarterback and a foundation for the future. In Lance, Ron and company see a little bit of Cam Newton, with the size, ability to run and strong arm. He may need some time to develop, so a veteran presence on the starting lineup may be necessary, but the advantage is enormous for this young caller.

Round 3 (pick # 74): Brevin Jordan TE Miami

– Jordan is a threat of incompatibility wherever he lines up in the attack. He is strong enough to play in line and slow down (not control) an EDGE defender, but he is best when he is in the “move” position, where he can create incompatibilities against defenders in the passing game.

Round 3 (choice # 82): Jabril Cox LB LSU

– Cox is a super-athletic linebacker who can play side by side and does not need to leave the field in secondary packs. He will fit in better as a “chase” supporter.

Round 4 (pick # 118): James Hudson OT Cinn.

– Hudson is a prospect of a raw offensive attack with great advantage. It is versatile in terms of layout and can align to both the left and right.

Round 5 (choose # 150): Damar Hamlin S Pitt.

– Despite not having the bulk needed for the security position, Hamlin is not afraid to mix it up in the racing game. He shows good instincts like deep security, but he needs to trust his reading a little more.

Round 7 (choose # 211): Justin Hilliard LB Ohio St.

– Hilliard must be an immediate contributor to special teams, and someone with the potential to contribute in the future.

Round 7 (choose # 243): Tommy Kraemer IOL Notre Dame

– Kraemer has a good size and good work ethic. He is not an athletic specimen, but he has a chance to stick around because of solid fundamentals.
