Offseason question: Should the Redskins draft a nose tackle or an end in the first round?

The Washington Redskins have the 21st overall pick in this year’s draft and the team will likely seek to upgrade its defense in the first round. With many holes to address on a 28th ranked unit that allowed 380.6 yards per game in 2015, there’s one are that could desperately use a young, talented rookie or two next season.

The defensive line featured plenty of experienced veterans in 2015, but the youngest players (defensive ends Stephen Paea and Frank Kearse) were 27 years old. There will be some impressive defensive linemen available when the Redskins are on the clock.
