Draft Needs
| Priority | Position | Level | Target Round | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OC | CRITICAL | Round 2 | Lost starting center Tyler Biadasz to LAC; Biadasz was a key piece of the offensive line and now Washington must find a replacement in a thin free agent market |
| 2 | LB | HIGH | Round 2 | Bobby Wagner (79.3 PFF grade) is a free agent; signed Devin Lloyd replacement but still need depth; signed Leo Chenal but interior LB corps needs a true playmaker |
| 3 | CB | HIGH | Round 1 | Released Marshon Lattimore; Von Miller is a free agent; secondary ranked in the bottom three in EPA allowed per dropback; need starting-caliber corner(s) |
| 4 | S | HIGH | Round 2 | Will Harris and Quan Martin are not getting the job done; signed Chig Okonkwo at TE but safety help is still critical; ranked 31st in EPA per play allowed |
| 5 | OG | MEDIUM | Round 3 | Interior line needs another starter-quality guard alongside the existing starters to protect Sam Howell or successor; ranked 25th in run defense grade |
| 6 | RB | MEDIUM | Round 4 | Need backfield depth especially with pace-of-play concerns; signed Odafe Oweh for edge rush but offense still needs complementary players |
Draft Strategy
Balanced Approach
This team takes a balanced approach, weighing both player value and team needs. They will take the best player available when the value is clear, but will also factor in positional need when players are similarly rated.
