The Washington Redskins did a lot to upgrade their team during the 2020 NFL Draft. But they still have some needs that could be addressed if the right option comes along.

With the 2020 NFL Draft now in the books, the Washington Redskins are looking better than they did before. The addition of Chase Young gives them one of the deepest and most talented units in the NFL. Elsewhere, they added a couple of offensive weapons and some depth on both sides of the ball.

After the draft, the roster starts to come into focus. Who are the starters? Who are the long-shots? Who are just camp bodies? It can be difficult to sift through sometimes, but one thing that is usually clear right away is what the team’s biggest weakness is.

Sometimes, weaknesses can be sneaky. Last year at this time, the Redskins receiver corps looked bad. But by the end of the year, two rookies had emerged as starters. And while the offensive line looked solid at this point last year, Trent Williams‘ holdout fouled things up there.

A majority of the transaction periods in the offseason are in the books. But there is still some time to address big needs that any team has. The Redskins could opt to try to shore up some of their weaknesses, given their cap space, or Rivera and Co. could roll with what they have and see who emerges as contributors.

The latter option seems like the more probable one, but it’s worth checking out the weaknesses nonetheless. Here are the Redskins’ three biggest needs remaining and potential ways for them to address those needs if they want to.
