Zach has to play LB in the NFL and has to prove he can drop into coverage. He was a good 3-4 OLB. I thought I heard he did great in coverage at Senior bowl, but then saw someone that said he didn't. It will be the eye of the beholder.

Did anyone else think Roger Goodell was drunk both nights? Also, was that the Raiders draft board behind him?

What are we gonna do with 7 late round picks? We should have tried to deal some away. Seems like a waste.

That's a big complaint of mine too. Should have traded up in the middle rounds with so much back end draft capital. Instead we trade out of the third for more picks. This team needed a lot of help at multiple positions and 6th and 7th round picks are lucky to make the team.

I liked they were able to turn some of the later picks into 2021 picks. They got a 4th rounder from the bears and a 5th from the Ravens. With the Comp picks they are in line for at this point they will have a lot of draft Capitol in 2021...or use a pick to make a minor deal. There were some worthwhile players dealt for picks today.

Well at least the next GM will come in with some extra resources to rebuild this squad. Get all the dead money off the books and some extra draft picks to rebuild. Rick sure put himself in a vulnerable spot this year. I don't really see how this team goes much better than 7-9 or 8-8 unless Kirk becomes a superstar. This is looking like a classic Redskins team around Kirk.

Yeah i didn't like the Kirk extension either. He's been good but not great.

The offseason isn't over yet. There are some paths to add players beyond what they have currently.

I think Rick's job is secure. This was a pretty solid draft in my opinion.

First 4 picks should contribute this year. I don't think we cut Rieff this year and let Cleveland sit a year or play LG.

I like James Lynch DT, Baylor more then others. He is a high motor guy.
Same with Kenny Willekes DE Michigan State. He should have skipped his bowl game last year after being Big Ten DL of the year and come out, but broke his left fibula. A little undersized but another high motor guy.

Any undrafted guys we signed get anyone excited? I see they got Corbin Lacina's kid out of Augustana.
