8. Washington Redskins (via DET)

The Washington Redskins defense has made some really good strides in the past year. They’ve rebuilt their defensive line into something imposing and it feels like the front seven could become something special if they add one or more two key pieces. Perhaps the most important is inside linebacker where they don’t have a definitive playmaker. That changes with the arrival of Devin White. This kid is no joke. He’s already drawing comparisons to Ray Lewis. He tackles, he hits, he chases with speed, and he seems to always know where the ball is going to be. He leads with his voice and by example. That’s what the Redskins are missing.
