While the Redskins do have three extra picks, it’s worth noting that two of them are at the end of the 7th (and final) round in the draft; as such, the Redskins last three picks are all only slightly more useful than quality UDFAs; while that’s not a bad thing, most incoming players would rather be a UDFA than a seventh, or even late sixth, draft pick. Hopefully, the Redskins can find a Stephen Heyer style player with each of those picks.
