If the Redskins are to rebound from a disappointing 8-7-1 record they’ll need to improve their defense. It’s been six years since the Redskins last drafted a defensive player in the first round. Washington passed on J.J. Watt in 2011, as they traded back and selected Ryan Kerrigan No. 16 overall. Fortunately for Washington, this year’s class has a ton of defensive talent. Reuben Foster is a player that can drastically improve the Redskins defense.
The Redskins front office did a solid job of bolstering its defense via free agency. Stacy McGee and Terrell McClain were added in the trenches.
