Round 7
Tony Poljan, Tight End, Virginia (6-7, 265)
The Washington Football Team adds a second tight end to the roster. Tony Poljan would likely be a practice squad candidate in his first season. Poljan has been able to gain about 40 pounds of bulk and muscle to his lanky frame in recent months and that is a plus in his favor. He needs to improve as a blocker but has good hands and a is solid receiver.
Poljan was a quarterback at Western Michigan and switched to tight end during his junior season, so he is still learning position. He played the 2020 season at Virginia as a graduate transfer.
Paddy Fisher, Linebacker, Northwestern (6-4, 240)
Paddy Fisher is unlikely to be an every-down linebacker in the NFL, but he can spend a year on the practice squad. The potential is there to be a good run stopper but is too slow in any coverage scheme.
Fisher will need to make his mark as a special teams player early in his career and find his niche. He is very physical and does have an above-average build for an NFL linebacker. Fisher is a streaky player who can look good for a quarter, then regress in the next quarter.
