The Washington Redskins have taken steps toward rebuilding their defensive line in the past two offseasons, but the work remains incomplete, so the position figures to receive a fair amount of attention in this year’s draft.
Last month, the team released Jason Hatcher, and let Terrance Knighton leave for the New England Patriots. Free-agent signing Kendall Reyes is expect to compete for Hatcher’s old job, and coach Jay Gruden said that Kedric Golston or starting left end Chris Baker could possibly get the job done at nose tackle during the 2o to 25 percent of instances when Washington uses a 3-4 front.
