The Washington Redskins went into the 2010 NFL Draft with big questions on offense. Was Jason Campbell the quarterback of the future? Who is going to block for whoever was taking snaps at quarterback? One question was answered before the draft, the other on draft day.
The Redskins traded for Donovan McNabb before the draft, and then traded Campbell to Oakland for a 4th round pick in 2012. The offensive line question was answered with the 4th overall selection, as Washington selected Trent Williams. Many draft experts had Russell Okung going to the Redskins, but Williams was the most athletic tackle in the draft, and seen as a better fit for their system.
Because of trades the Redskins did not have another pick until the 4th round. Perry Riley was the pick in Round 4, and he can move into a middle linebacker position on defense.
Late round sleepers look to be Erik Cook and Selvish Capers, a pair of offensive lineman. The line was a major weak spot in 2009, and Cook and Capers may be able to find starting spots along with Williams as the line looks to be revamped.
Draft Grade: C+
