Top Quotes: Redskins’ Kyle Smith speaks with media at 2020 NFL Combine

The Washington Redskins VP of Player Personnel took center stage on Tuesday afternoon at the NFL Combine, speaking with the media for the first time since being moved to a new position in the front office.

Smith was asked about the roster, the upcoming draft, and the most pertinent issues facing the Redskins, including that they plan to do with the No. 2 overall pick, and where they stand on the Trent Williams situation. Here are the most notable quotes from the press conference:

Smith says the pre-draft largely remains the same under Rivera. He is still running the draft.

Says they've identified the core pieces and need areas. As you might expect, mums the word on those details.

I know there were some in past who weren't sure about Love. But definite mixed thoughts, which means some, of course, believed he'd be back. Both would be huge helps if healthy… https://t.co/mJX6acGxNO
