 Washington’s senior vice president of player personnel can see the team using the 15th overall choice on one Russ Grimm Jersey , though.“I think where we are at this point, and like I said earlier, if there’s a quarterback there that we like at 15, 9 out of 10 we’ll go that route,” Williams said, via NBC Sports Washington.Jay Gruden said earlier Thursday that “the organization feels very good about Colt [McCoy] if he’s the starter,” but the coach conceded drafting a quarterback is “a possibility for sure.” Washington is leaving all options open at the position with Alex Smith expected to miss the season.“If it’s not somebody we like, we’ll go with Colt Paul Richardson Jersey , and if we got to go out and get a veteran to work with him until that time comes, that’s probably what we’ll do,” Williams said. “It all boils down to who’s there when it’s time for us to be.”Washington, though, isn’t looking to move up in the first round. A quarterback of its liking would have to fall to 15th for the team to pull the trigger on drafting one.“That’s not something that we even talked about at this time,” Williams said. “We got a lot more needs on this football team than to say we can give up two or three picks and say ‘pick one guy’ and think we’re going to have a football team that we hope to have.“I think we got to use our picks wisely, and make sure we get guys that will come in here and help us build this football team a lot better than what it is.” Washington quarterback Colt McCoy may be the odd man out in the quarterback competition because he’s currently not healthy enough to compete. But by training camp, he should be good to go.McCoy is with the team for voluntary offseason work despite a fractured fibula Case Keenum Jersey , and he is expected to be a limited participant in minicamp and a full participant in training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Veteran Case Keenum is currently penciled in as the starter and first-round rookie Dwayne Haskins will compete for the job. McCoy, however, does have the advantage of being the only one who already knows the offense. McCoy has been in Washington since 2014, Jay Gruden’s first season as head coach, so he has a firm grasp of an offense that Keenum and Haskins are just learning.McCoy started two games last year following Alex Smith‘s injury, before succumbing to an injury himself. He hadn’t thrown a single pass in either of the two previous seasons.
