What did Washington's offensive line look on day 1 of minicamp?
The Washington Football Team had made plenty of moves this offseason. However, Washington was quiet in regards to the offensive line until the 2021 NFL draft when it selected Texas offensive tackle Samuel Cosmi in the second round. The Football Team also traded for guard Ereck Flowers right before the draft. Flowers had his best NFL season with Washington in 2019 before signing with Miami as a free agent in 2020. After the draft, the Chicago Bears shockingly released starting left tackle Charles Leno and Washington didnt wait long to sign him. So, of course, that led to the WFT making a corresponding move  or, in this case, moves  when they released longtime starting right tackle Morgan Moses and former third-round pick Geron Christian. From left to right, Washington sent out Leno, Wes Schweitzer, Chase Roullier, Brandon Scherff and Cornelius Lucas with the first team. First group on OL: Leno, Schweitzer, Roullier, Scherff, Lucas. Not really. Offensive line coach John Matsko is using this time to find his best five, and right now, Lucas is in that group. Regardless of what fans thought about his play last season, Lucas stabilized the left tackle position during Washingtons run to the postseason. No. But he was solid and deserves to be in the mix in 2021. Of course, Roullier and Scherff are not surprises. Leno isnt either. Washington signed him to start  presumably at left tackle. Schweitzer, much like Lucas, stabilized the left guard position in 2021 and, despite adding Flowers in the offseason, the job remains his to lose. Washington did use second-year offensive lineman Saahdiq Charles as the backup left tackle on day one of minicamp. Charles, a standout left tackle at LSU, missed most of his rookie season with an injury. Washington liked him at guard last season, but he offers positional flexibility. Second team: Saahdiq Charles  Ereck Flowers  Tyler Larsen  Wes Martin  Sam Cosmi  Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) June 8, 2021  Cosmi was the second-team right tackle. This is the best time of the year to mix and match your offensive linemen. And, for the first time in a while, the Washington Football Team has outstanding depth on the offensive line. And, while Lucas was with the first team on Tuesday, dont be surprised to see Cosmi or even Charles move into the top group this summer so the coaching staff can properly evaluate each player.
