The most nerve-wracking day in the NFL season has come and gone, and the Washington Football Team has chosen its roster.

It should be noted that nothing is guaranteed, and waiver wire pickups from other teams, or last-minute juggling due to a late injury could still cause changes. But as of cutdown day, 22 new players will be suiting up for your Washington Football Team. For those who don’t feel like doing the math, that’s greater than a 40% turnover from last year’s lineup.

Of note — all eight draftees made the final roster, along with one undrafted free agent. That shows a clear effort to add youth. Also, of the 22 additions, two-thirds of them came on the offensive side of the ball — not surprising, given the investment in high-profile defenders in recent drafts.

Here’s a quick look at the newcomers.
