The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread

19. WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM
Team Needs: Quarterback, cornerback, wide receiver

Credit to Alex Smith on his comeback player of the year campaign; the man ranked outside of the league’s top-30 signal-callers in every meaningful metric. Lost in the Football Team’s “heroic” decision to release Dwayne Haskins was the reality that they got absolutely nothing in return from their 2019 first-round pick. Kirk Cousins is the best QB this franchise has drafted since the new millennium and it isn’t particularly close.

CB Ronald Darby (PFF’s 14th-highest graded CB) is a free agent. Neither Kendall Fuller (43rd) nor Jimmy Moreland (78th) managed to crack the top-40 corners. Regardless of Darby’s final decision, adding some more talent to the secondary to complement the team’s collection of monsters across the defensive line should be a priority.

Terry McLaurin is objectively a stud, but another high-end option would be much appreciated. Free agent and incumbent No. 2 WR Cam Sims does possess some underrated ability after the catch; just realize this unit is one injury to the artist known as F1 away from being painfully thin. Only the Lions, Steelers, Colts and Jaguars have fewer 2021 dollars devoted to the WR room.
