The Washington Redskins had a first round pick this year for the first time since 2012, and with multiple needs any player they selected with the fifth overall pick would have been the right choice. New general manager Scot McCloughan had professed taking the best player available, and he appears to have done just that by taking Iowa offensive tackle Brandon Scherff. Scherff made 36 starts for the Hawkeyes during his career and he won the 2014 Outland Trophy, which is given each year to the nation’s top offensive lineman.
