Sheehan said something that I think is worth mentioning:
The Redskins signed the least amount of UDFA in the league (https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/undrafted-free-agent-tracker-2020-rookie-signings-from-all-32-nfl-teams-in-one-spot-following-nfl-draft/), with 4... the second least being 7, most teams having signed 10/15 players, the Ravens leading the league with 22 UDFAs.
Not sure it's gonna mean anything come September... but I do think it's telling of a different approach. I think Rivera wants to evaluate this roster almost "as it is now".
Also may be according to his coach centered approach.
Probably a good idea to go to camp or OTAs with a smaller team. It will be easier to evaluate and implement a new team system.

I'm expecting the Skins to add one or two more NFL FA's. Probably a LT. They may sniff out a trade for a surplus TE with a team that drafted a TE (NE picked two of them). They'll certainly be taking a hard look at late cuts.

I wouldn't be surprised if we still land OJ Howard somehow

Yeah I definitely hope we bring in a proven vet LT.
But you usually have so many camp body type UDFAs that it's hard to remember all the names... none of that this year it seems !

There is no way Tampa brings Gronk, Brate and Howard into camp.
People kinda forget, Arians has not featured TE in the offense.Will this change with Brady, with an established relationship with a top 5 HOF Gronk...of course, but Brate or Howard one of them is going. Either Brate gets cut/traded or Howard gets traded. It’s a matter of time.

Re Charles.
The pick seems similar to 3rd round Geron Christian.
- Good size/long/athletic
- Needs work/polish
- Needs to add strength
- Project but has upside
1 of these 2 hopefully pan out.
I want us to draft O lineman but I really think, if you want a stud anchor LT, you have to take the cream of the crop in the 1st round or early 2nd. There are some good to great LT taken round 3 and later but the chances are much lower.
Id go G and C after round 2.

Can someone explain to me what's so good about OJ Howard? If he was a really good TE don't you think he would have more than a season high of 34 catches? If he was really good don't you think the coaches would try and get the ball to him a bit more?
With that being said he's probably better than anyone we have. But it just seems to me that RR is content with who we have.

Im not sure either?
Other than the tremendous hype he had as a draft prospect.
I guess people still view him as a 1st round talent and not view/judge him on what he has done for the past 2-3 years in the league.
I wouldnt give anything more than a 5th.

Better than what we have, but he hasn't lived up to the hype at all. I wouldn't trade anything for him, he's a release candidate at this point.

Rookie year, ok not terrible.
In 2018 he got hurt second half of year, but was considered have a top 5 TE year. He graded out at 89 on PFF “elite”. Was on pace 56 catches and over 900 yards receiving.
Last year was a coaching change and new offense which doesn’t feature the TE. Still not a terrible year while still splitting time with Brate.
Guy was regarded highly coming out and obviously needs a change of scenery
I’m kinda lost how some think he’s not needed on this team? Have you seen the roster and look at Howard salary cap number...it’s nothing.
Get him on the fucking team NOW
