Free Agent DL the Redskins Could Target | Washington Post The Outside (Mark Bullock)
Washington has lacked creativity from its defensive line since switching to the 3-4, resulting in a subpar pass rush. Lamarr Houston is a big name who could help fix both of those problems. Houston was drafted by the Raiders originally as a one-gap, penetrating three-technique defensive tackle.

Oakland lined him up all over the place to get the most out of his outstanding athleticism.

The defense had other issues to be sure, but upgrading here is a top priority in the offseason.

(As a reminder, only two of the 16 games are determined by where a team finishes). Of course, Washington's divisional foes get to play a team that went 3-13 a year ago. But more than strength -- or ease -- of schedule, the Redskins need improved play from quarterback Robert Griffin III and their defense.
