Washington Redskins: Defensive Line

The Redskins were about as effective at stopping the run last year as Congress is at agreeing on…anything.

They ranked last in rushing defense, giving up 134.1 yards per game.buy nfl jerseys online

The return of a healthy Jonathan Allen (the team’s first-round pick in 2017) will help, but the defensive front remains a priority.

Washington has $19 million in wiggle room—enough to potentially add a player like Johnathan Hankins or Bennie Logan on a short-term deal. That would allow the team to focus on a linebacker, an edge-rusher or a defensive back when it picks at No. 13 in April’s draft.

If the team can’t bolster the front with a free agent, Washington Huskies defensive tackle Vita Vea should be in play with that selection. The 6’4″, 347-pound Vea is just what the Redskins need: a mammoth space-eater who also has the quickness to get upfield and harass the quarterback.  nfl jersey on sale

It can be argued the Tennessee Titans have more immediate needs than at edge-rusher. Inside linebacker comes to mind after Avery Williamson left in free agency.

Sometimes, though, teams have to consider the big picture.

For the Titans, it’s this: Brian Orakpo will be 32 years old by the time Week 1 rolls around. Derrick Morgan is 29. on field nike nfl jerseys Both players are entering the last year of their contracts. And the Titans have a big bag of nothing behind them.

Tennessee is in good shape relative to the salary cap—only three teams have more than their $38.7 million. But the chances of finding quality edge-rushers on the open market a month into free agency are only slightly better than the odds of your pet fish picking the winning Powerball numbers.

None of this is a secret, and dozens of mock drafts have linked the Titans to genuine nfl jerseys  a pass-rusher with the 25th selection. That includes the latest mock from Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller, who projects the Titans will choose Ohio State’s Sam Hubbard in that spot.
