Some of the Washington Redskins most pressing needs exist on defense. The team is in the market for not one, but two safeties, especially if Montae Nicholson fails to return to the field. With Preston Smith’s contract pending, edge rusher is a concern. And even at inside linebacker, Washington could stand to add talent, unless they feel confident about the pairing of Reuben Foster and Zach Brown or Shaun Dion Hamilton.
Make no mistake: there are areas of need on the defensive side of the ball, but on offense, similar needs are present, and they perhaps have more gravity.
