They have holes to fill in the draft though. Their most glaring need is at linebacker.\u00a0Kevin Pierre-Louis was lost to free agency, Thomas Davis. Sr. retired and Shaun Dion Hamilton was waived.

Is he splashy enough for the owner though?<\/p>\n<p>While Ryan Fitzpatrick was brought in at quarterback, will he be long term answer? No. Tyler Heinicke and Kyle Allen were both effective in limited action, and would seem good depth at the position. It&#8217;s a bumper crop of Quarterbacks in 2021 though. It&#8217;s easy to see scenarios where quarterbacks fall, and Washington takes the plunge. Especially with Dan Snyder in the War Room.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is for sure &#8211; last year&#8217;s first round selection will be impossible to beat.
