Redskins past draft failures at wide receiver aren’t indicative of future

Adding a top playmaker should be at the top of the Washington Redskins needs list this offseason. Dynamic ability was a key quality lacking in their unit in 2018, and it showed; the Redskins finished the year No. 28 in the NFL in total yards per game, taking up a coveted spot as one of just five teams to average under 300 yards per game.
