Washington's QB options after Round 1 of draft: Upside, experience and a wild card

ASHBURN, Va. -- The message has remained consistent. The Washington Football Team wants to find its quarterback of the future; coach Ron Rivera has said they're not desperate. If the right guy doesn't come along, they will wait and build the roster for when they do find that player.

It will be tough for Washington, selecting at No. 19 in the 2021 NFL draft (April 29-May 1 in Cleveland, on ESPN and ESPN the App), to draft a quarterback in the first round. That's why finding one on the second day becomes a more likely scenario.
