Jahan Dotson is a 2018 Washington Redskins draft pick out of Louisiana Tech. In this article I will be discussing how he stacks up as a prospect and what team’s should look for in their own prospects, but before that let me first talk about the current status of the Draft class at large.
In the first three rounds of last year’s event, the Washington Football Team selected Jamal Davis, Samuel Cosmi, Benjamin St-Juste, and Dyami Brown, and the newly renamed Washington Commanders entered the 2022 NFL Draft expecting to snag at least a few talents capable of making an instant impact.
Carson Wentz is ready to take over as quarterback for a defense coached by Chase Young, and he started Thursday night hopeful that his new club will prioritize the passing game. That is true on both sides of the ball.
On offense, Washington has to come up with a stronger game plan than throwing the ball to Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, and Cam Sims, preferably by drafting a top wide receiver or tight end prospect (or both). On defense, it has to offer more secondary help to allow the pass-rushing options to get to the quarterback in a timely manner.

The Washington Commanders were in dire need of a wide receiver to complement Terry McLaurin, and they found one in Jahan Dotson of Penn State. He doesn’t have great NFL stature (5-11, 178 pounds), but he has terrific speed (4.43 40-yard sprint) and some of the finest hands of any pass-catcher in the draft. Dotson isn’t quite as explosive as the top four wide receivers in the draft, but the Commanders have just combined need, fit, and skill, so this choice has to be in the A range.
Grade: A-
