No. 5 — Linebacker
The defensive front-seven is a solid group in Washington, but let’s separate the linebackers form the defensive line for the sake of this exercise. Even without the potential return of Reuben Foster, a core of Thomas Davis, Cole Holcomb, and Ryan Anderson project to be highly productive, and when you add in a rotation of Jon Bostic, Shaun Dion Hamilton, and Nate Orchard, it gets that much better. In a solid defensive line-up, the linebacking core can definitely hold its water.
