Putting some salary cap numbers to the task of keeping the Defensive Line together

It’s almost unbelievable to think that the Washington Football team is able to line up four starters on the defensive line that were each selected in the first round of the draft and taken in consecutive years.

• Jonathan Allen was selected 17^th overall in 2017.
• Daron Payne was picked 13^th overall in 2018.
• Washington used two second-round picks to trade into the first round and take Montez Sweat with the 26^th pick of the 2019 draft.
• In 2020, with the #2 overall pick in the draft, Washington drafted a generational talent in Chase Young.
