This is the most important draft in recent memory for the Redskins. The second pick in the draft has immense value. Many teams have changed the direction of their franchise with this type of opportunity.
A key factor with building a successful roster is obtaining players that are capable of outperforming their contracts. Rookie contracts are structured to be valuable. An organization has 4-5 years to utilize young players on rookie deals. Drafting players that can contribute is great, but getting impactful players that can outperform their contracts, that can lead to winning.
The Redskins’ second overall pick is about value.
