INDIANAPOLIS — Last year, the Washington Redskins used their first three draft selections on defense, and six of their 10 picks were on the defensive side of the ball. The focus reflected not just the Redskins’ needs, but the depth of the 2017 class.
“Sixty-three of [the] 107 players that went in the first three rounds were on defense,” NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said. “By far the most ever.”
The Redskins’ needs in 2018 aren’t as distinct — though there are still clearly areas that need to be upgraded after a pedestrian 7-9 season.
