Apparantly we signed McCain to a 1 year deal. No link.

McCain could start at FS, or play in the slot. Versatile. Apke is gone. Our DB group seems to have improved.

Without gushing joy and happiness, how refreshing that we have a FO that:

-self identifies weaknesses.
-uses all available avenues to find solutions
-doesn't blatantly overpay
-focuses on character AND skill level

Was this a perfect off season, maybe not, but it was by far the most professional offseason since Gibbs, and likely even before then.

Good, like the fact that this coaching staff if valuing quality characters/hard working guys but not getting 1 sec with fake sense of owing guys playing time because they worked hard. They're here to build a roster and win games.
We all loved Reaves' attitude/story, but if we got better options, I'm all for it.

Agreed; and to get two potential starters after the draft, and as you mentioned not overpaying for them. VERY refreshing to have a competent FO. Kudos to Rivera and company.

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets

I think something is happening that hasn’t happened here in a long time.......other teams players and FA’s want to play for us.
I think the combination of having a strong, young, talented defense and a great coaching staff is making Washington an attractive place where FA’s now want to play here. Our roster is filing out...our FO is making smart moves. We have depth.
Cats and dogs are getting along.
What’s next?

Key thing I note is the right kind of FA's.

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets

We had a great draft. After the draft, getting Patterson, Leno, and now McCain is bigtime. Absolutely love this offseason.

If Fitz works out and is consistent, we're going to be tough to beat this season. Defense should be awesome.

Hail WFT!

Those highlights are great. 1st one is an INT of Dak. He lays the wood in Metcalf too - that isn’t easy. Love the attitude and swagger.

Our D is going to maul people. We need to elect to kick with every coin toss. We will give Fitzmagic a short field to start every game.

Honestly, there is NOTHING better than a D that destroys your opponent. I’d rather watch a shutout 17-0 than see a 42-35 win any day.

Having a competent true FS that can cover your ass deep is huge in today's NFL. That was one gaping hole on roster except QB, glad we filled it. McCain is severely undersized, so has a limited role, but as a slot guy or FS, great find. May also free us up to keep 1 less DB total since he can play FS or slot CB or nickel, as that is certainly weakness of roster on back end, vs. say a 6th or 7th WR or extra OL.

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets

Watched offensive snaps of WC Bears @ Saints 2020 game.
Charles Leno seems like a nice addition to me. Long arms and very consistent pass pro.
Run blocking is meh. Does the job, but never gets any real push, and sometimes doesn't sustain.
No flashy play to show you either way.
