This TE did very well in the Senior Bowl so I wonder if he will be available to the Redskins by the third round. I think the Redskins will be targeting a WR in the third round (very deep WR class this draft) to compete with Harmon for the WR #2 spot OR the best OT or C available. Of course, Kyle Smith has been able to get starters or even elite starters (McLaurin and Dunbar) from the lower draft levels. I mean he's got starters from the UDFA picks. I mean most teams are just happy to get a Special Teams player out from their UDFA picks in a year. It's just very rare to get starters and especially ROOKIE starters from the UDFA.

So I think Kyle Smith will draft one TE from the draft. But our starter is going to come from FA. A very good TE like Hooper is going to be very expensive and we'll be competing to get him against other teams. He'll be a top-paid TE, just like Scherff may be the highest paid OG if we keep him.

Starter from FA? The list of top 100 TEs is very thin.

I noticed you and few other people want Redskins to find a #2 WR to compete or replace (few people said that, not you) Harmon. To be honest, I don't really understand this. Yes, we should always seek to improve every position whenever we have a chance, either through free agency and draft. However, some people seems to think that Harmon haven't done enough to show that he is #2 WR. Granted, he did not light it up like McLaurin did but McLaurin is an outlier and I believe Harmon showed enough to be #2 WR this year. If we have an opportunity to draft a WR or sign a WR on prove-it deal to compete, go for it but I think we should use our top picks for other priorities such as Oline, TE, CB (if we don't sign a #2 CB through FA), LB and FS.

Harmon hasn't shown the consistency to separate with his lack of speed even when he runs good routes. He is still learning and I really like him...BUT...you really should try to look to improve with a more effective weapon. Im 100% do not like the Current FA options. Emanuel Sanders is the only one where I would at least think about on a Short term, big money deal, because he can do everything.

I think now the most interesting Position going into the offseason will be the Linebackers in the 4-3 especially now with Ruben Foster being a YUUUGE question mark. Will we tap free agency with a Vet? Does Ron like Cole and Anderson potential? Can SDH possibly step into MLB and play well? When can R. Foster even get on the field...is he really a MLB Ron wants?

Linebackers are blowing my mind...its a puzzle which could make/break this defense potential. Linebackers become more important in a 4-3

Maybe I didn't see what you and few others saw.. I would be fine if we start the season with Harmon as #2.

Agree about the LB part, it will be interesting to see what Redskins do.

When I look at receivers group I see we need improvement, but like our prospects. I would like to add WR in the draft.
