With the No. 19 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Washington Football Team has selected Kentucky linebacker Jamin Davis.

Last year, it was easy. With the No. 2 overall pick, the Washington Football Team was in a prime position to select Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young. There was speculation about a potential trade back, but Washington never entertained that possibility. They went with the best player available.

This year, however, things were more complicated. At No. 19 overall, with several pressing needs standing out above the rest, the Washington Football Team had a decision to make.
