The Washington Redskins really need to add one more piece on the defensive line in order to complete a solid front seven. Here are the linemen for them to watch at the NFL Combine.

The Washington Redskins did well to improve their defensive line during the 2017 NFL Draft. With the No. 17 pick, the team was able to scoop up Jonathan Allen, a highly touted defensive end prospect who fell due to injury concerns and merely decent NFL Combine workouts. As a rookie, Allen flashed excellent potential before going out with a Lisfranc injury early in the season.

This year, the Redskins once again should be focused on landing an early prospect on the defensive line. The difference is that this time, they should be searching for a potential starter at nose tackle, a position that has been an issue for them for the better part of the past five seasons. In a class that has some nice talent on the defensive line, this is the time for the team to pounce and land an impact player.

With that said, here’s a look at the top defensive linemen for the Redskins to keep an eye on as Day 3 of the NFL Combine workouts commences.
