After plugging holes on the defensive and offensive lines and at running back
Adidas Eric Staal Jersey , the Washington Redskins still have plenty of depth needs to fill on the third day of the NFL draft.
Washington has five picks left: one each in the fourth, fifth and sixth and two in the seventh round Saturday. The extra fifth-rounder the Redskins got from
Denver for safety Su'a Cravens they traded to San Francisco on Friday night as
part of a deal to move down in the second round and pick up an extra third.
Taking Alabama defensive tackle Da'Ron Payne 13th overall, LSU running back Derrius Guice 59th and Louisville offensive tackle Geron Christian 74th should
allow the Redskins to solidify their secondary and perhaps find a long-term
prospect at tight end. Selecting Christian likely moves swing tackle Ty Nsekhe
to the starting left guard spot, making good on senior vice president of player
personnel Doug Williams' theory that the team wasn't going into the draft
determined to get a guard.
Washington prioritized defensive line over other defensive positions by taking Payne

and safety either in the draft or through free agency.
Years of injuries to star tight end Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis being 34 makes that position a strong possibility, even a year after taking Jeremy
Sprinkle. Getting more receiver options for recently-acquired quarterback Alex
Smith also puts receiver in play.
Browns linebacker Christian Kirksey has been on the roster while the team has gone 1-31 over the last two seasons, but he predicted much better things to come
in 2018 when he said in Junes that the team will make the playoffs.
Wide receiver Jarvis Landry didn’t go quite as far as Kirksey, but he shares his teammate’s optimism about the year to come. Landry told Nate Ulrich of
Ohio.com that the Browns are “definitely a playoff-caliber team” when it comes
to talent and that things like leadership and accountability will determine
whether they can actually advance to the postseason.
Landry knows that setting high expectations can sometimes come back to bite a team in the rear end

of mind for the team this year.
“But at the same time, it’s great to have those type of aspirations for yourself, for your team, and

we’re supposed to believe

Going to the playoffs may be asking too much of a team that has been mired as deep in the muck as the Browns have been, but Landry and company clearly think
there’s no reason to treat it like an impossibility when training camp hasn’t
even started.
