The Washington Redskins have to sit out the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but it’s worth it. The pick they should have had was sent to the Indianapolis Colts during the past draft in a trade that got them back into the first round of the 2019 draft. With that pick, they landed edge rusher Montez Sweat.

Sweat was a stud in his rookie campaign, recording 50 tackles and seven sacks while starting all 16 games. He’s only going to get better as he gets more experience and with the addition of Chase Young in this mock draft, he’s going to get even less attention from opposing blockers.

With the pass rush starting to border on elite, the Redskins need to add more help in the secondary — as they look for players who can take advantage of the ball being forced out so quickly by the front seven.

Enter Virginia’s Bryce Hall, a 6-foot-1, 202-pound cornerback known for his intelligence and solid ball skills. His stock fell some as he missed a lot of time in 2019 which hurt his numbers. However, his 2018 campaign was one to remember.

That season, the junior defensive back had 62 tackles, two picks, and an incredible 21 pass defenses. He has some big shoes to fill as Josh Norman was recently released but he has the skills to get the job done.
