Washington needs a quarterback

In his weekly NFL power rankings, Sheil Kapadia makes a wish for each team, hoping Washington gets a quarterback to go with their stellar defense:

“Wish: An upgrade at quarterback. There’s no reason to think Dwayne Haskins can be the guy, and while Alex Smith has been a fantastic story, it would be a mistake for Washington to go into next season with him penciled in as the starter. The roster isn’t great, but the defense ranks third in EPA per snap and is loaded with young talent up front. And Washington has some fun offensive skill-position players in Terry McLaurin and Antonio Gibson. My question: Why isn’t Washington mentioned more often as a potential landing spot for guys like Matthew Stafford? It needs upgrades on the offensive line and more pass-catching help, but if Washington were able to get above-average quarterback play, it could be a really fun team in 2021.”
