Redskins' draft helped the defensive line, but more is needed

The Washington Redskins' 2018 draft class has the potential to be a productive one, but they'll need some midround picks to develop. They found a strong starting nose tackle in Daron Payne, and second-round pick Derrius Guice would have been a full-time starter if not for a torn ACL in August. There's a chance that, within the next two seasons, this class will produce three starters and some quality backups.

Grade: Average

Best rookie: Daron Payne. It wasn’t even close, although that’s because Guice hurt his knee in the first preseason game.
