NFL draft rounds 4-7

[AnonEmouse]

Seen a few criticisms about taking Smith-Williams. It makes sense to me given he was expected to go quite a bit earlier. Depth at DE, puts pressure on Sweat and Allen if nothing else, but also maybe gives us freedom to lose Kerrigan (assuming he's not staying at OLB). But anyone know if there's a reason he fell to round 7? Any red flags?

Smith-Williams had a spate of injuries that caused him to miss 5 games in 2019. That's all I know.

Why would we want to lose Kerrigan? He was a DE in college, he's played with his hand in the dirt with the Redskins and, until proven otherwise, he is still our most productive pass rusher.

I didn't explain myself. I meant IF Kerrigan proves surplus we can afford to lose him as we have depth. Don't want to see him go but he does tie up a lot of cap given he appears on the downslope now. If we can accommodate everyone in the DL group all to the good, but we cant be sentimental.
