Post draft breakdown

One thing for sure, our line is deep and solid.

I think we can bid adieu to Wes Martin and Geron Christian. Saddiq Charles gives them a genuine backup OT option if they play him at guard.

I like the draft. Don't love it.

Brown was an absolute steal. We really fixed up that WR room this offseason.

I like Cosmi. Super athletic. His height and athletic ability should be more than enough to overcome any short arm issues. I think he starts game 1, and we have an excellent swing tackle in Lucas. If Cosmi can play and Charles is healthy, our OLine depth is really good.

We didn't land an out and out star, at least as it looks right now, but I'd rather get 8 guys that can challenge the current roster, if not start, than bust out completely on the top rounds and be left with ST players at best. I reckon at least 5 of these guys will make the roster and 2-3 will be on the PS hopefully. I'd only pencil in Jamin and Cosmi as likely starters right now, but Brown could easily be pushing for the #4 or 5 WR position, maybe even #3.

Yeah if Lucas could be our swing tackle, that would be awesome. You need 3 starting caliber tackles bc with injuries, that swing guy might end up taking more snaps then your week 1 starters. I always feel bad for the Lucas and Nshecke's of the world, always the brides maid and never the bride. Vitally important and has skills to be a low end starter but gets the step brother role.

Cosmi is off the charts strong, 99th percentile. Cant wait to see him, Matty I and Payne lifting together.

Wr Brown .. I nothing about the guy but everyone is raving about him, seems to have that uncanny Desean Jackson ability to track, adjust and catch those long over the shoulder balls.

Exciting times to see an atheletic LB, OT, CB and WR added to the mix. Plus CB Jackson and WR Samuel in FA.

We drafted high character athletes. So now alot is on the staff to coach them up. High character= good student , and you cannot teach speed.
Can the safety out of Minnesota really be worse than Apke? Can the tight end be worse than Sprinkle? We upgraded at several spots on our roster imo. I absolutely loved this class, and I think time will show good reason too.

Cosmi has really short arms .. 33" putting him in the lowest 12 percent for NFL tackles. Wingspan in the 22 percentile.

Arm length isnt the end all for tackles but its pretty important

I like that tool, I don't like what it says about St-Juste:

10 Yard Split 1.57s* 47th percentile
20 Yard Split 2.65s* 26th
40 Yard Dash 4.55s* 28th
Vertical Jump 34½"* 30th
Broad Jump 119"* 29th

Seems he missed the athletic portion of the FO draft evaluations.

Not that it truly means anything until they suit up, but it's cool to see, nonetheless.

CBS Sports' Pete Prisco:

Washington Football Team: B+

Best pick: Third-round receiver Dyami Brown will prove to be a major steal. He has great speed, but he's more than just a one-trick pony.

Worst pick: I didn't love the choice of Boise State tight end John Bates in the fourth round. He's athletic, but it's more of a projection based on his production and might have been a round too high.

The skinny: Their first four picks were all outstanding. First-round linebacker Jamin Davis will be a star. They followed that with a lot of good players at positions of need, highlighted by Brown.

Another piece from CBS Sports via Cody Benjamin: 2021 Draft Winners and Losers. Benjamin has our WFT in the "winners" circle:

Washington Football Team

Most notable picks:

LB Jamin Davis (1)
OT Samuel Cosmi (2)
WR Dyami Brown (3)

Man, Ron Rivera is really assembling a tough squad, isn't he? Davis should step in right away as a leader on defense, Cosmi offers long-term support where Trent Williams once stood, and Brown gives them yet another chess piece on offense. These moves help them in 2021, with Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm, but also bode well for the distant future.

Ironically the comparison I saw, just the one admittedly, for our new TE is .......... Jeremy Sprinkle.

Who knows how these picks will look 2-3 years from now, but what I like right now is we got high character guys, guys with position versatility, and you have to like the overall speed/athleticism of most in the group. I think our first 3 picks will contribute significantly right away.
