But before the season started those were worrying roster holes. I don't see that on our roster this year.
How it'll actually turn out is a whole different conversation though.

Agree with you buddy. All teams even great ones have holes. Look at the final four this year Tampa, Green Bay, Buffalo and KC all had issues. Tampa probably most complete team but hey when you fall as backwards into the GOAT at a bargain price and then he convinces his freak of nature friend to unretire that really helps.

We aren't saying we are there yet... but we have the pieces in place to get us there

The more I read about T Cosmi the better I feel about the pick.
At first I was a little surprised and maybe disappointed.
However I read Cosmi is an excellent athlete with size. His PFF pass pro scores are good. Cosmi ran the fastest 40-yard dash for an offensive lineman at his pro day. He ran the 40 in 4.84 seconds.
Seems like a guy that with help from John Matsko, will develop over time.
Cosmi played HS ball in Texas and College ball in UT, so he has played against top level competition.

Solid picks in positions of need.

I disagree with the analysts saying QB is an immediate need. It is not for this season. Long-term, yes, but we're good with the trio we have now, especially Fitz.

Offense starting to look scary too...so deep at WR and I don't know who to cut. I feel AGG needs a shot in a normal season, rookies were at a disadvantage last year with no preseason. Wright and Harmon deserve to stay. Sims, Jr. is gone, especially with that return specialist from Houston we signed.

Either LB Jabrill Cox or TE Brevin Jordan needs to be our next pick! I can't believe they're both still available.

Real bummer we could have had JOK as the Browns took him just after us, but Coach Rivera clearly has a plan to fill holes and is sticking to it. Refreshing to see.

Read THIS: (bolded)


Washington Football Team selected Texas OT Samuel Cosmi with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Cosmi (6’7/310), ranked outside the top-100 OTs in his recruiting class by the 247Sports composite, vastly exceeded expectations in college as a three-year starter and two-time All-Big 12 selection. Cosmi played LT and RT in Austin, and comes with more than enough athleticism to be a potential option on the left side in the NFL. Cosmi tested as the second-most athletic RAS tackle to enter the NFL since 1987. Cosmi's 40 (4.87), broad jump (9’9), short shuttle (4.39) and bench (36) all ranked top-15 all-time for tackles. Cosmi moves like a tight end and has plenty of upper-body pop, with a veteran's understanding of his assignments. But hip stiffness causes Cosmi to play too high, which can sap him of power and teeter his balance. And with 33-inch arms (same as Rashawn Slater), Cosmi doesn’t have the reach his height suggests. Opponents erase Cosmi’s athletic and strength advantages when they win the leverage battle and get him on his heals, which K'Lavon Chaisson did in the 2019 opener. We see Cosmi similarly to Taylor Decker, a former first-rounder who’s been an above-average player his entire four-year NFL career, if never dominant.

Almost every draft there’s the “could have taken” players I compare our guy to.

Payne vs derwin James
Scherff vs Leonard Williams

Davis-cosmi vs darrisaw-jok

Based on how things folded out with the Payne and Scherff picks, I would make the same choices if I could go back.

Yeah, can’t count the number of posts on various boards bemoaning the fact we never drafted linemen and then the number of posts complaining when we did....

I'd love it if we could draft one (or both, if we got super lucky) of those players!

Good idea! He could help us a lot. I believe that we're going to get a solid FS somehow, somewhere this season.

All I'm saying is there's a world between those guys and having freakin Troy Apke as our starting FS and only one good starting LB.

Agreed, and what we have to also account for is how much the improvements we've made not only improve their positions, but also the positions around them. 3 good WR = forcing defenses to decide who to double, leaving 1 or both the other guys more open (+Thomas). Improve OL = less pressure on passing game and defense (longer drives etc.). Better run D (LB and DB) = more opportunities to pressure pass offenses and get turnovers.

But it also improves the players. With better corners and LBs around him, the whole DL and Holcombe should improve. Better corners means the Ss should look better (especially if we pick up a FS starter this weekend). Dangerous WRs to complement him means McL should look even better, and it won't hurt Thomas either especially if we get a TE.

For me if we pick up FS, TE, LB and OL with the remaining picks I'd be happy. Even a QB.

I wouldn't oppose to the idea of signing Tre Boston after the draft. Although I wonder if WFT is content with Reaves as a starter? Granted, Reaves has a small sample (only a few games) but he was ranked as 5th best safety in the NFL for all games he played. It's weird how this worked out for Reaves - he was on practice squad for a while, got cut, resigned and then finally got a chance to play after Apke got benched and Everette got injured, and then all of sudden he played well.

I think we can likely pencil him in as a day 1 starter

[skinsfaninok]

We will have one of the fastest offenses in football. That’s a scary sight for the division

[skinsnut]

Based on who is available now in the 4th, the talent match to need is not good. Its basically a special teams play. We wont fill our FS, TE or QB needs based on what is out there, therefore, I'd go for the last player that could poentially start for us, Jabril Cox ILB. I dont know what it would take for us to move up 19 spots to take him, guessing our 5th rounder, but based on the dearth of talent and our LB needs, I would do it immediately. Anyone know the cost to move up?

Sounds about perfect to me.
