Redskins select LSU tackle Saahdiq Charles after trading Trent Williams

In the first two rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Redskins focused on adding explosive playmakers to the roster. Chase Young should be one at the edge rush position and will have a chance to log double-digit sacks early on in his career. And Antonio Gibson will have a chance to become one on offense, as Ron Rivera compared the explosive running back/receiver hybrid to Christian McCaffrey.

With the second pick in the fourth round, the Redskins went in a different direction. They needed to replace Trent Williams, who was traded to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday afternoon.
