The Washington Redskins have now put the 2020 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, and they will be forging ahead into an unpredictable offseason in the NFL, likely comfortable with who they have on the roster.
We’ve yet to see what undrafted free-agents the Redskins will look to sign over the coming days, but for the most part, we have a good feeling for who the Redskins will be heading into the 2020 season with.

In almost all of our mock drafts, we had the Redskins grabbing one of the top TEs of the board, be it Cole Kmet or Adam Trautman or Albert Okwuegbunam, usually somewhere in the 3rd-to-5th round. As Day 3 of the draft went by, we kept waiting and waiting for Washington to pull the trigger, and it seemed obvious that they would take Washington’s Hunter Bryant, who was miraculously still on the board. with one of their final picks of the draft. They never did.

Speaking of which, the Redskins are also reportedly very high on both Richard Rodgers and Logan Thomas, the two tight ends they signed in free agency. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Washington roll into the 2020 season standing pat at the TE position, unless they were to sign some undrafted free agents. Speaking of which…
