After productive two days, Redskins will seek depth at RB, OL

The Washington Redskins have satisfied several desires -- and needs -- in the first three rounds of the NFL draft.

They needed a defensive lineman. Hello, Jonathan Allen. They wanted a pass-rusher. Welcome, Ryan Anderson. And they wanted another corner. Enter, Fabian Moreau.

That means they're in good position entering the final day of the draft. They don't have any pressing needs but clearly have areas to address.

With seven picks, the Redskins have flexibility. They don't need to add seven more rookies; it would be real tough to see all of them making the roster. That means, if they want, they can package picks to move up higher in a round -- or acquire more picks for 2018. That would then give them more ammunition if, for example, they need to draft Kirk Cousins' replacement at quarterback.

But, for now, they can focus on several areas:

Running back: They were interested in Dalvin Cook, but he was drafted before their second-round choice. But it remains an area they'd like to provide more help for Rob Kelley and Chris Thompson in particular. Oklahoma's Samaje Perine and San Diego State's D.J. Pumphrey are among the best remaining.

Guard: Shawn Lauvao is entering the final year of his contract. The Redskins aren't in a hurry to replace him for 2017, but if they find his replacement, they can go younger and cheaper in 2018. Some fourth-round choices include Pitt's Dorian Johnson and Utah's Isaac Asiata.

Quarterback: The Redskins weren't going to select one in the top three rounds. It would create instant controversy with Cousins' situation unsettled beyond 2017. But if they take one in the later rounds, it would be someone viewed as developmental. Their main completion would not be Cousins, but, rather third stringer Nate Sudfeld. Pitt's Nathan Peterman has been suggested as a good fit for Jay Gruden's offense. Josh Dobbs remains available; he's represented by Cousins' agent.

Receiver: The Redskins are set with their top three receivers -- Terrelle Pryor, Jamison Crowder and Josh Doctson. Those three are the most talented, though Doctson has much to prove. After that, Maurice Harris shows potential and the coaches still like Ryan Grant. They also signed Brian Quick. But they can easily add more competition for this group. Tennessee's Josh Malone is fast but needs work to develop. The Redskins would provide that time.

Safety: They moved Su'a Cravens to safety and signed D.J. Swearinger. Those two should end up starting. They also have Will Blackmon and Deshazor Everett, Josh Evans and, possibly, DeAngelo Hall. But they could use another young player to develop. This spot will be helped by better play from the front seven.

Linebacker: Getting Anderson solved one problem. But with three inside linebackers who can be free agents next season -- Will Compton, Zach Brown and Mason Foster -- they'd be wise to keep adding here. They do have Martrell Spaight and Steven Daniels. The deeper the draft goes, the tougher it is to find strong inside linebackers. Ohio's Blair Brown is a fourth or fifth-round option.

Defensive line: The Redskins signed two linemen in free agency and drafted Allen in the first round. They have young players they hope develop in Anthony Lanier and Matt Ioannidis among others. Ziggy Hood is back, too. Still, adding another interior lineman in a deep draft for defense would be wise. Iowa's Jaleel Johnson and Clemson's Carlos Watkins are available.

Tight end: They don't need starters with Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis around. They have quality backups in Niles Paul and Derek Carrier. But if the Redskins wanted to add another tight end, they could, perhaps challenging one of the two backups. Michigan’s Jake Butt is still available.
