Redskins lack of moves at cornerback in NFL Draft speaks volumes

Going into the 2020 NFL Draft, cornerback was one of the biggest needs for the Washington Redskins. It wasn’t quite on the same tier as wide receiver or offensive tackle, but there was a general belief that the Redskins could stand to benefit from adding young upside to their cornerback room, especially given the general depth of the 2020 class.

The Redskins managed to add a selection to their slate during the draft, leaving with eight picks, but none of those picks were used on a cornerback. After the NFL Draft, the Redskins had another opportunity to add talent to their cornerback room through undrafted free agency.
