What if the Redskins believe there’s a talented center who will be available in the second round?  What if they look elsewhere in the first round?

If it happens, and I’m not sold it will, then Washington has to go with William Jackson III from Houston.

Boosting the teams secondary would help them combat the receiving threats in their division, and allow their offense the opportunity to run the ball more as the defense gives up fewer points.

The potential of landing a top center on day two is enticing, and could result in the Redskins landing one of the more prolific climbers in this year’s draft class.
