Let’s be honest, the Redskins have quite a few holes to fill, or else they wouldn’t be picking this high in the draft. After the fall-out between the front office and star left tackle, Trent Williams, there have been issues at the position. Their current left tackle, Donald Penn, is 36 years old and he is not cutting it. It’s time to go out and get another franchise tackle like they had with Williams, and Andrew Thomas can be that guy.

Andrew Thomas had a great outing in the SEC championship going up against one of the better edge defenders in the 2020 NFL Draft, K’Lavon Chaisson. Thomas owned Chaisson early putting him in the dirt on several occasions and continued to have a good game, one of few to do so for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Thomas still has some things to fix with his run blocking, but the Redskins aren’t draft Thomas to be a run blocker, they’re looking to keep their young quarterback, Dwayne Haskins, protected.

The two receivers — Terry McLaurin and Kelvin Harmon — that the Redskins drafted last year have both fared well in their first year in the NFL, especially McLaurin, but this shouldn’t stop them from drafting another playmaker at the position and that’s exactly what Hamler is.

Hamler is a speed demon, who can take the top of the defense, however, it’s not just his speed that kills, but his acceleration as well. He possesses the explosiveness to blow by defenders with ease and the speed to maintain that separation.

If Derrius Guice can stay healthy, the young quarterback Haskins should have no excuses moving forward with all the weapons he has around him and the protection on his blind side. All of a sudden the Redskins offense looks like hit can hold its own.
