Eric Edholm's Commentary
They did a lot of work on Drake London and the Ohio State receivers, yet they pivot to Dotson, who goes a touch higher than we imagined. Still, with the receivers flying off the board, they couldn’t afford to get cute. Dotson catches everything and has deep speed from inside or out. He has very good potential early on — if Washington can salvage Carson Wentz.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Mathis is a blue-collar tough guy who can take the grinder snaps on the interior, and his high-level experience should allow him to contribute readily early in his career. As far as upside, we don't see much. What you see is what you get, and he's not a consistent penetrator.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
A tough a determined runner who turned into a workhorse for Nick Saban after waiting his time as a time-share back, Robinson brings a physical element to the Washington run game. But he's only a first- and second-down threat.
