After finishing 7-9 and watching their division rival Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl, the Washington Redskins need to make some moves in free agency in order not to miss the postseason for a third year in a row.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins appears on his way out, as Washington gets ready for the Alex Smith era. Still, the team needs additional improvements, and along with the draft, the Skins need to further bolster their roster this offseason.

The main focus before next season should be the rush defense, rush offense and receiving core. The defense finished dead last in the league this past season against the run, allowing around 134 yards per game on the ground. On the other side, the offense managed only 90 yards rushing per game, ranking a pathetic 28th in the league. Meanwhile, no receiver reached 1,000 yards.
