Ranking the Washington Redskins position groups from best to worst

Aside from a few rookies, the Redskins roster is set for the most part — so which position group is the strongest, and which is the weakest?

No. 1 — Defensive Line

Was there ever a doubt that the defensive line is the best group on the roster? The Redskins are completely stacked on the front line, and it has a chance to get even better with the expected selection of DE Chase Young in the NFL Draft — a generational talent who is currently the heavy favorite to win Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2020. Just think of some of the names Washington has on the DL depth chart: Jonathan Allen, Ryan Kerrigan, Daron Payne, Montez Sweat, Matt Ioannidis, Caleb Brantley, Tim Settle. The ability to rotate guys in and out without missing a beat when it comes to talent level is going to make the Redskins defense something to behold in 2020. With three strong position groups all working together under Jack Del Rio and Ron Rivera, Washington has something special cooking on that side of the ball.
