<p>Washington used the 51st pick in the draft Friday night on Texas offensive tackle Sam Cosmi, who could be the long-term replacement for former starter Trent Williams.</p>
<p>Cosmi started the first eight games in 2020 before opting out of the remainder of the season. He was the seventh offensive lineman taken in the second round. </p>
<p>After Williams held out the 2019 season amid a dispute with the previous regime, Washington traded him to San Francisco at last year’s draft and attempted to draft his successor in LSU’s Saahdiq Charles. Injuries limited the fourth-round pick to one game during his rookie season, with veteran Cornelius Lucas starting the majority of the year at left tackle.</p>
<p>The 6-foot-6, 313-pound Cosmi could change that. He earned second-team all-Big 12 honors while starting all 13 games at left tackle for Texas in 2019 and even had a touchdown catch against West Virginia.</p>

<p>Tight end, safety and receiver are among Washington’s remaining needs. The team has two picks in the third round and a handful more Saturday in rounds 4-7.</p>
<p>It’s unclear if Washington will use one of those selections on a developmental quarterback after passing on trading up for one of the draft’s top prospects. General manager Martin Mayhew said the organization feels good about the QBs currently on the roster: free agent addition Ryan Fitzpatrick, Rivera favorite Kyle Allen, playoff-game starter Taylor Heinicke and 2020 undrafted free agent Steven Montez.</p>
