In particular, vital sub-package roles on both offense and defense will be intensely contested. Finding a quality player for each role is essential for the success of the schemes on both sides of the ball.
Both units also feature a key battle along the front lines. A perennially weak O-line will receive a massive boost if Washington finally identifies a solution for a problematic spot along the interior.
On the other side, revitalizing a weak pass rush will depend on finding the right bookend for star outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan. At least the Redskins will be choosing from a pair of prominent draft picks.
