This offseason is really the first where Ron Rivera is in complete control of the front office operations. Last year, he began the house cleaning, but he retained some key staff while he got his feet beneath him in DC. With Kyle Smith gone, Martin Mayhew installed as GM, and a couple of former GMs - Marty Hurney and Chris Polian - added to the brain trust, this will be an opportunity for Ron and his team to set the tenor and direction for the Washington Football Team for years to come.
Mayhew and others are attending the Pro Days of various prospects, in the hopes of gaining inside information in advance of the draft.
