The 2020 NFL Free Agency period is still open, but things have wound down for the Washington Redskins for the most part, and the team is largely set with their roster aside from the addition of a handful of draft picks that are set to come later this month.
So if this is largely the final product that we have to work with before the 53-man roster cut, where are the strengths, and where are the weaknesses? We break it all down here in our rankings of the Redskins nine position groups, starting with the worst and going down the line to the very best of the best.
No. 9 — Tight Ends
The tight end position was a major area of need for the Redskins heading into free agency, and they did very little to address it. After both Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis missed most of the 2019 season with injuries, it was apparent that Washington needed to do something in order to better round out that part of the field and help their young quarterback by offering a safety valve over the middle. It looks like we’re still waiting for that to happen.
The Redskins added Richard Rodgers and Logan Thomas in free agency, but neither of them feels like surefire starters once the regular season rolls around. It’s likely that Washington will try to draft a TE somewhere in the third or fourth round later this month, but even the best TE in the 2020 draft class would have to be pretty spectacular if he wants to improve this position group for the Redskins.
