The Washington Redskins have a glaring weakness on their defensive line. They may elect to fix that with a prospect that performs well during the NFL Combine.

Without a doubt, the biggest issue with the Washington Redskins defense was their defensive line. Aside from the performance of Chris Baker, no player on the line was a starting caliber player. The Redskins have to focus on improving this unit moving forward, and the 2017 NFL Draft is a great place to do it.

The NFL Draft has a lot of quality defensive line prospects in it, and the team is going to look to select at least one player with one of their 10 picks. They should spend an early round resource on a player, and they will certainly be watching players closely at the 2017 NFL Combine.

With that said, here is a look at the top defensive line prospects that the Redskins will be looking at during this week’s Combine.
