Winners: Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers
Washington Redskins: The Redskins, who ranked 24th in run defense a season ago, did better than I feel they could’ve ever imagined. As I wrote above, they had arguably the best run-stuffer in the draft fall into their lap with Allen. In a division where they face the likes of Ezekiel Elliot twice a year, they were in need of this talent. With Allen, the Redskins shored up a struggling front seven that was in desperate need of help. This was something the Skins had to do if they wanted any chance of winning in the NFC East next year.
