Saahdiq Charles has had a pretty rough start to his NFL career. He "fell" to the 4th round after character concerns from multiple failed drug tests at LSU. The Washington Football Team took a shot on him after multiple discussions with his college coaches.
Charles was an early fan favorite, and received a lot of hype. But certain positions will always get hype from different segments of the fanbase. Charles represented hope for either the tackle or guard position going forward. Washington waited until they knew Charles would be available at their pick to pull the trigger on the Trent Williams trade.
