Having just extended Daron Payne on a 4-year deal yesterday, Washington had positioned itself pretty well going into first day of “unofficial” free agency today.
Looking across the roster, there were a few notable holes, but - in reality - the gaps that needed to be closed in free agency in the lead up to the draft were few and far between.
As I outlined over the weekend, there were two urgent needs on the offense, one urgent need on the defense, one slightly less pressing need on the defense, and opportunities across the roster to “raise the floor” with some free agents who could supplant players who constitute deep depth or are pure special teamers.
