Washington Football Team: Over-drafting a linebacker

One of the dark horse teams to watch this season will be the one without a name. The Washington Football Team has built a rather strong roster which includes Ryan Fitzpatrick who they signed in free agency. Fitzpatrick has been a journeyman but has the talent to help them improve on offense.

As for their defense, that unit is complete with players such as Chase Young and Montez Sweat leading the way. They even added some help to that side of the ball with Jamin Davis from Kentucky who they took at No. 19 overall.

However, that seemed to be a bit of a reach — especially with players such as Rashod Bateman, Caleb Farley, and Christian Darrisaw on the board. All three of those players would fill a need and play positions that are much more valuable.

Again, it was still a solid offseason and they more than made up for any shortcomings with their first-day photos which were absolutely brilliant. The best was clearly Fitzpatrick who had the look of an annoyed first-grader despite his chalkboard stating he is 38-years-old.

Another underrated move for Washington was simply putting Fitzpatrick on the same team as head coach Ron Rivera. These are two of the easiest people in the NFL to root for and that could make Washington a lot of fun to watch.

It could also make them back-to-back NFC East Champions if everything goes well.
