Favorite Offseason Additions: NFC East

Just passing time between now and training camps. Here’s a look at my favorite offseason additions from the NFC East.

New York Giants
Evan Neal, OT, 1st round

Evan Neal gives the Giants a promising offensive line bookend opposite Andrew Thomas. At a listed 6’7” and 351lbs, Neal is huge. He doesn’t move like a huge man. He moves like a much less huge man. He carries that huge mass so well. 

Contenders: Kayvon Thibodeaux, Wan’Dale Robinson

Philadelphia Eagles
A.J. Brown, WR, trade

The Eagles trade for A.J. Brown was one of the splash moves of the draft’s first round. He should form a super big guy-little guy pass catching pair with DeVonta Smith. 

Contenders: Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean

Washington Commanders
Jahan Doston, WR, 1st round

Jahan Dotson was one of my favorite receivers in the draft. Simply put, he does everything right. Great hands, great routes, gets open, good body-positioning. Technically, he was probably the best receiver in the draft. The Commanders are putting together a nice collection of offensive playmakers. 

Contender: Carson Wentz

Dallas Cowboys
James Washington, WR, free agent

Each year that he was with the Pittsburgh Steelers, I thought James Washington would break out. Maybe a change of scenery will help. With the departure of Amari Cooper, he’ll have an opportunity with the Dallas Cowboys. With CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup firmly in place as the team’s top receiving targets, Washington just has to fit in. Gallup got enough targets as a #3 to make an impact. Washington will have an opportunity to do the same. 

Contenders: Tyler Smith, Sam Williams, DaRon Bland

Up Next: NFC South
