Bruce Allen and the rest of the front office deserves a ton of credit for the recent Redskins draft class. It’s been a tumultuous off-season for the Redskins. There were the Kirk Cousins trade rumors. That was followed by Scot McCloughan firing. Washington extended Jay Gruden amidst the McCloughan drama but the move was widely viewed as damage control.
Depending on who you ask, the Redskins free-agent signings were a mixed bag. As a result, it was imperative Washington drafted well. They went into the draft with 10 selections. The Redskins used six picks on defensive players, addressing the defense in the first three rounds.
