I expect all 3 to have very good pro careers.

Very sad and unfortunate incident. We all made mistakes when we were young. That no doubt probably turned some teams off.

LB: Huge position of need
WR: Huge position of need
Edge: Absolutely needed some youth at this position
RB: Allen might already be the best RB on the team. Him and Jacory Croskey-Merritt should be a great combo. White and McNichols are good options at 3rd down back. Jerome Ford likely got pinched w/ the Allen pick.
C: Huge position of need
QB: 7th round pick on someone more promising than Hartman as 3rd QB

Still need to add some more secondary options hopefully.

I think we had a damn good draft, especially since Tunsil is really a part of it.

Walterfootball Assessment. (Usually pretty harsh on us, not this time).

"Washington Redskins Washington Redskins: A Grade

Goals Entering the 2026 NFL Draft: The Redskins have just two picks in the first four rounds, so they need to draft very carefully. They somehow have to both find Jayden Daniels another weapon and improve their horrible defense that has issues at every level. Good luck, Washington.

2026 NFL Draft Accomplishments: Washington didn’t have much to work with, but it made the most of what it had. Of the four picks the Redskins had in the top 200, all of them scored in the “A” range. They drafted incredibly well, selecting either mega talents or great bargains.

The Redskins planned on taking Carnell Tate, but because he was off the board, that allowed Washington to obtain the better player, as Sonny Styles figures to provide a much-needed colossal upgrade in the middle of the defense. Then, in the third round, Antonio Williams was obtained to provide Jayden Daniels with the upgrade he likely thought he was getting at No. 7.

Washington continued to draft strongly after that, securing a third-round prospect in Joshua Josephs in Round 5, and a fourth-round prospect in Kaytron Allen in the sixth frame. Allen and sixth-round center Matt Gulbin will give Daniels more of a supporting system, while Josephs could bolster a weak pass rush. All of these elements were able to add up to a stellar draft class for Washington."

Am I biased? Yes, but he is definitely a unicorn.

I think they did very well for what they had to work with for draft picks. A lot will depend on how impactful Styles and Williams are. Both need to be honestly. Allen and Gublin are highly intriguing and could prove to be great picks long term. Time will tell on this draft for sure. Hope the edge rusher and all of them work out.
