WFT post-draft depth chart: we have a 90-man roster and still looking to upgrade

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted. Washington entered the draft with eight draft picks, but via a late trade with the Eagles, changed a 2022 5th-round pick into two late picks in this year’s draft — a 6th and a 7th — giving Washington 4 picks in the final two rounds and ten picks overall for the 2021 draft.

The first comment I heard about the trade was from an NFL Network analyst who commented that, since the 2022 class was likely to be both more talented and teams were likely to have more information about them, the logical thing to do seemed to be what the Eagles did — get rid of 2021 picks in favor of 2022 picks.
