The Redskins Will Add A Starter In The First Round. But Who?

“There’s going to be a good football player,” Redskins President Bruce Allen said.

“We’ll get a good player,” head coach Jay Gruden said.

That was the message at the NFL Owners Meetings this week when both were asked about the team’s 13th pick in next month’s draft. While the Redskins have been doing their due diligence in free agency, hosting players, signing a few and looking for more deals to cut, they also know that another talented player will be available for them in the first round.

For the last couple of months, at least, it’s been clear the team wants to add a running back into the mix.
